A term I love for unwanted AI-generated content: slop.

The term has an adjacency to spam, while being distinct from it.

The connotations are pitch perfect: mass produced technically edible junk fit for animals, not humans.

The term got to be much more well known this week, and I had a front row seat. I watched a friend flag https://twitter.com/deepfates/status/1787472784106639418, which encouraged Simon Willison to post https://simonwillison.net/2024/May/8/slop/ which got picked up by Daring Fireball: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/05/08/slop

It's so interesting watching a neologism burst onto the scene. Everyone intuitively felt a need for such a word, and everyone could recognize that "slop" is it.
