AI Slop
Low-quality AI-generated content produced for volume, not value.
AI slop is the mass-produced output that floods search results, feeds, and inboxes because generating it costs almost nothing. It is a distribution problem more than a model problem: the models can do better, but nobody asked them to. For anyone publishing, it raises the bar — generic AI text now reads as a signal of low effort.
In practice: Twelve near-identical listicles on the same topic, none of which answers the question.
