Hmm, writing a thing and, without thinking about it, used the verb “enslopify”. I can’t be the first. I think it’ll catch on.

#GenAI

@timbray we’re all living in the slopocene
@timbray I’ve written ensloppenator to describe these plausible synthetic text extruders
@timbray ensloppifier works, too.

@timbray Indeed.

Anticipating that wandering shop has a call for art submissions getting assembled, we wanted to be a little lighthearted about a strictly human made submission but recognize that there's a lot of good use of digital tools. I came up with "no pixelslop flingers".

Language evolves through its moments of need. 🤣

@timbray I also saw the word "slopaganda" today.
@timbray it's "model collapse", but same idea
@timbray Just get @pluralistic to use it, he gets to coin words all the time. 
@timbray it's a perfectly cromulent word

@timbray

Shouldn't this be written "ensloppify"? Or does "slop" not have a relationship to "sloppy"?

@glitzersachen You're probably right but it's probably too late.

@timbray

Nice neologism.

I will be using it.

@timbray *Captain Picard voice* Computer, enslopify!
@timbray I used "enslopification" in an ail this afternoon. Pretty clearly not something I concocted from whole cloth, and yes I will do what I can to spread 'enslopify' as that's too good not to share.
@timbray Yep. It's there with enslopifying, and enslopification.😊
@timbray Question from non-native english speaker 🙋‍♂️: Why with both "en-" and "-fy"? Wouldn't "slopify" or "enslop" describe the process of diluting content with AI BS enough? Does it add hidden meaning?
