I can see the use to describe AI spam, but I am starting to seeing people using it to describe anything they don't like, basically a replacement for "mid" with was highly used the last couple of years. I noticed that when some people learn a new "trendy" word, they want to use it in every possible opportunity until it loses meaning.

"Slop" is a internet slang that has always been used to refer to low quality content that exploits current internet trends, using it to refer specifically to AI generated content is pretty new.
