It caught on, sure, but not exactly in the way I expected. The wild popularity of "slop" as a term for AI eventually gave way to the genericization of the word "slop" to mean "content of low quality, regardless of source", and is seemingly being used as just a derogatory term for anything that people dislike (particularly by folks in left leaning communities). For example, I've seen people refer to (clearly human written) commentary from some political commentators as "slop".
