Watching in real time as “slop” becomes a term of art. the way that “spam” became the term for unwanted emails, “slop” is going in the dictionary as the term for unwanted AI generated content
Not even the internet specifically, but often media in general. It comes from the use of “slop” as the mix of garbage that you pour into a feeding trough for pigs. Basically junk that companies think people will gobble up regardless of the quality.

But there is no “spam-core” aesthetic
Sure there is, it’s the weirdos who print out emails (or print literally everything).
This is most likely an error in space-time.
I beg to differ
Well, there is James Veitch and similar comedians turning spam into part of their art.
extended warranties have become a meme, and probably are an aesthetic
Wasnt “slop” used before AI to describe something bad and masse produced on the internet?
