Slop
What is "slop"?
Content generated with AI and no judgment: generic, padded, correct on the surface and empty in substance. You can spot it by the stock phrases, the lists of three and the enthusiasm without data.
An image to remember it
Filler food: it fills you up but doesn't nourish you.
The misunderstanding
If AI generated it, I saved time. If someone has to read it, the cost moved to the reader.
What changes in practice
AI writes the draft and a person brings the judgment: edit, cut, check.
