 Here's a brilliant neologism: "slop", for text generated entirely by LLMs and published, unwanted, on the Internet > Watching in real time as "slop" becomes a term of art. the way that "spam" became the term for unwanted emails, "slop" is going in the dictionary as the term for unwanted AI generated content Source: https://twitter.com/deepfates/status/1787472784106639418 31 comments
@sayrer Yeah? I've not heard it before I think it still counts as a neologism here in terms of applying it to LLM output - "AI slop" if you like  @delProfundo @alys @simon as content, yes. but the thing was they would have some program write half of it, even the main one, not just the Taboola things at the bottom    @simon May I suggest we stop saying "AI generated content," and start saying "prompt generated output"? Because there is no intelligence behind it, which makes it quite the opposite of "content"... @donnodubus @simon nope, content is just a polite term for 'filler' and can just as easily be created by a person or by software. Literature, journalism, art - only humans can do these  Sadly No. But I am more that happy to plagerise it all over social media 😁👍 @simon Yeah, that a good one. I've been calling it "processed content product," but "slop" is so much shorter and more evocative.   @simon @troublewithwords like “spam,” “slop” has that p-sound so you can really spit the word out when you’re mad.   |

@simon makes me think of school dinners back in the UK in the 80s. They too were generally unwanted!
