AI slop is a derogatory catch-all term for machine-made content that feels cheap, generic or mass-produced: slick stock phrases, template-like structure, over-explaining and very little concrete experience or distinctive character. The term describes a reading experience, not a reliable way to detect AI; humans can write that way, and AI output can be edited until it no longer reads that way.
