Emily Segal has coined "tasteslop" for AI-generated work that looks tasteful but is extracted from the social relations that give taste meaning.

I think the same logic runs through education. Literacy-slop is the credential without the community of practice, the qualification without the learning. It satisfies the classifier and nothing else.
