> Content that is mostly-or-completely AI-generated that is passed off as being written by a human, regardless of quality.
I think something does not necessarily need to be "passed off as being written by a human" -- whether covertly, implicitly or explicitly -- to qyalify as AI slop.
There are ample examples of content sites and news articles etc that shamelessly post AI generated content -- without actively trying to claim it as human generated. Some sites may even have a disclaimer that they might sometimes use AI tools.
Still slop is slop becuase we are subjected to it and have to be wary of it, filter through it to separate low quality low effort content, expend mental energy in all this while feeling powerless etc.
