AI slop
Was this article even written by a person?
Slop is machine-generated content produced in volume, cheap enough that the economics work even if almost nobody reads any single piece. Merriam-Webster made it the word of the year for 2025; by then it was hard to open a feed without it.
The problem isn't that a machine wrote it. It's that volume drowns signal: real reporting and generated filler arrive in the same scroll, dressed the same.
