… and one of the ‘contestants’ is slop:
- slop (n.): Art, writing, or other content generated using artificial intelligence, shared and distributed online in an indiscriminate or intrusive way, and characterized as being of low quality, inauthentic, or inaccurate.
That ties in well with another of the finalists:
brain rot (n.): Supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as a result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging. Also: something characterized as likely to lead to such deterioration.
Well those are both downers!
Death to positive thinking!
Strange description for slop. People use it for all kinds of art which serves as “content” that’s more or less worthless (as is described in the oxford website). Hence saying “AI slop” instead of “slop”.
Missed opportunity to say “(…) as a result of overconsumption of slop (…)”
As long as people don’t go for that demure nonsense. That was a painful little interval.
Well, as you know, English is not my mother-tongue, so I had to look up demure, but the definition still didn’t help me understand what you meant.

There was a period of time this year where people on social media and elsewhere were adding “very demure, very mindful” when referencing almost any person or subject. Most of the time they were horribly misusing the word. For a week or two, even news anchors were using, misusing and abusing it.
