As a linguist, an interesting phenomenon I’ve noticed is a flurry of new coinages based on the new meaning of “slop” – unwanted, usually low-quality, AI-generated content.
AI is spawning – but not generating – new words based on ‘slop’
As an editor and educator, I read a LOT about generative AI these days, and I have some feelings on the matter. I’m not completely anti-AI, but I’m far more skeptical than the hypesters and the boosters want people to be, for several reasons beyond the rampant mistakes and vapid copy. Ethical concerns around generative AI abound, and the environmental impacts are significant.
