[ SLANG ][ AI ][ NOUN ]

Low-quality AI-generated content that gets fed back into training data or future generations of content, compounding the original slop into something even worse each cycle.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"This whole feed is recursive slop now, AI content that got scraped and regenerated so many times it barely means anything."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named to describe the specific downward spiral where AI slop isn't just a one-time output problem but keeps getting recycled as input, making each generation of content measurably worse than the last.
