"Everything I don't agree with is slop"

Pseudoscience about capitalism going to magically fix climate change by doing nothing is slop.

I prefer slop to live in its own technical box of generative AI crap instead of broadening the word to the point it's just another meaningless pejorative like sus.

You are aware of course that slop existed before generative AI and there are other things that are slop.
