To me, slop is anything that makes sense at the surface level but falls apart upon closer examination, since there's "nobody home, semantically".

So why would this not be poisoning with (in this case human-generated) slop?



I may be picking nits on nits here, but… If slop indicates content with no reasoning, then deliberate slop isn't slop as it is generated with both reason and purpose known to, and understood by, the creator. Though if someone deliberately uses a generative model to create slop that line of reasoning might eat itself…


Maybe we should extend "death of the author" to non-human author entities as well :)
