No doubt almost always with #AI in front of it. Perhaps "AI slop" needs to be named the phrase of the year alongside "an #LLM groomed my underage daughter for sex and told my son to kill himself".

@AlexKourvo The Swedish Language Council’s ”new word list” for 2024 included ”slop”:

”low quality content generated by AI”

Disclosure: I was on the committee discussing what words should be included. The list is more of a subjective zeitgeist list than an objective these-were-the-new-words list, but there are certain inclusion criteria.

@AlexKourvo love the subtley snarky "... HUMAN editors..."
@AlexKourvo Didn't they also do an ad for their newest dictionary edition that was all making fun of LLMs and AI tools?
@AlexKourvo this is languageslop. you only like it because it conveys meaning
@AlexKourvo Very appropriate. Origin used to describe contents of chamberpots.
@AlexKourvo While I can't respect a dictionary with so many missing "U"s, I can at least respect this decision.
@AlexKourvo
Really capturing the zeitgeist there.
