Heard someone call AI art 'slop' at a coffee shop in Portland and it stuck with me

I was in Portland last weekend grabbing a latte and overheard two guys at the next table talking about a video game that used AI generated backgrounds. One said the whole game looked like 'slop' and the other laughed and agreed. I've been seeing that word pop up more on Twitter and Reddit to describe low effort AI content. It's interesting how a simple word like slop is becoming the go to term for anything rushed or cheap looking. Has anyone else noticed this catching on in their own circles?

Saw someone call it 'digital slop' in a gaming subreddit last week and it felt right.

And half the time it's just AI generated garbage anyway.

Yeah that's perfect honestly. @emery19 nailed it too, feels like everything from news articles to recipes online is just the same slop these days.
