    Unpopular opinion, and I expect the reactions I’ll get. But I think the term “slop” has already jumped the shark and is used as a literal downvote reply instead of even saying what they don’t like or disagree with, even with things that aren’t even AI related. Probably because it’s too generic and vague, unlike the previous generation “photoshopped” or “shopped” for short. That at least was understood as having a purpose within the term.

      Frankly, slop isn’t an exclusively AI phenomenon, it’s just that it becomes a crazy large concern because the slop creators can crank out with souh volume with GenAI.

      It absolutely still has a meaning, it’s time wasting hollow content devoid of value.

      When AI generates non-slop, well, we can’t really tell to call it out. When a human inflicts slop on me without AI, I’m still not happy, but there’s only so much they can do on their own…

        I get that, and not arguing on the word use for low quality AI products. It fits in the sense that the other meaning that was used before AI hit so hard was “a product of little or no value : rubbish”. But like I said, I’ve seen people use it online now in lieu of actually stating anything worthwhile. It’s turned into an autoreply for anything not liked, just like the downvote, which also has been misused all these years now. I’ve also seen it used on legit images, old and new, just because anything outside the norm or unusual or just not liked gets it because “nothing is real”.

        Maybe instead of unpopular, it’s more of a “the internet sucks now” opinion rant. And I know a big part of that now is the AI embraced by corporate, but it was declining before then too.

    Could do with that as an SVG; I do like my pixels to look nice when I resize an image.

    I’m partial to this one

    I swear every time I see someone posting some opinion over an AI generated image. Even worse is when they use like Looney Toons or something similar.

    Yes. Let this go viral. Everybody use it! Maybe one day a stop sign company will download the wrong image from the internet, find this, and some small town in Illinois will have “Slop” signs all over town.

    …I have no idea how stop signs are made.

    dont need this. posting this as a response to any slop would be engagement, which is the goal if im not mistaken.

    edit - having read the comments i can see i missed some obvious and valid use cases. carry on.

      I’m sort of 50:50 on that one. Whilst it’s a truism that controversy drives engagement, I think it’s still a winnable fight to make it clear to platform owners that most people really do not like slop. It’s not like when you platform fringe racist groups or something where nobody would have heard of them otherwise and they thrive on the oxygen of publicity.

    I may soon be forced in a not-constructive-discharge kind of way out of my current job. If so, I’ll strongly consider setting this image as my profile image on my work accounts (work chat, wiki, Jira, etc) for the notice period.
