What is AI slop?
AI slop is careless mass-produced AI content: lots of it, fast, bland, often wrong, and published though nobody asked for it.
Australia's Macquarie Dictionary named "AI slop" its word of the year for 2025. Flooding channels with hastily AI-written posts costs trust with customers and platforms: wrong facts, broken images, every post sounding the same.
