I have taken it as a tongue in cheek reference to the current AI slop discussions, so like purposefully made sloppy. Appropriate joke? Apparently not, according to the masses. Well, just a matter of taste.

I mean, it's _possible_ they were aiming for "so bad it's good", missed, and ended up at just "really, really bad", I suppose. In practice, conscious attempts at "so bad it's good" virtually never work out; it is a thing which happens, not which is deliberately done.
