Everyone malding about "AI slop" would have been out protesting when electric lights put lamplighters out of business, or when cars did a number on horses.
Its a new technology, and as always, the tool is exactly as good as the man wielding it.
It's just a convenient short hand for purely AI generated and (hopefully) human edited content, in contrast to blended or AI assisted content. The slop is a semi-ironic way to show you don't have a stick up your ass or chip on your shoulder about it, and also an acknowledgement that there is a lot of garbage out there currently so the default presumption of quality level is just "no". Obviously I think it has value since I shared it, and I'm not here sharing any of the modern traditionally produced mainstream garbage singing its praise.
I don't think I'm alone in using it that way either, given that they named one of their own other projects Cream of the Slop.

The "artists" that screech the loudest would have said the same thing about photoshop when it first started getting good.
AI Slop is just new sonic OC donut steel except it's not contained on a single art website.
