I'm tired of Hacker News slop

Is it possible that the fairly-specific term "slop" has ALREADY been co-opted to mean "LLM-generated context which I don't like"?!?

Because personally I'M tired of folks using that word inappropriately.

The term originated on 4chan before the advent of mass AI-generated content. Only the normified definition of the word means "LLM-generated content I don't like".

Slop has been coopted to mean any content the writer doesn't like.
