Slop in internet memes is acceptable. Memes have always been a kind of slop: low effort is the name of the game. And you're not passing it off as something it's not. It's also obvious to everyone it's AI—there's no dishonesty involved.

Outside of that context, I would be careful. You're risking extreme reputational damage if you're supposed to be an expert, you're getting paid to write an article on this topic you're an expert in, and here you are submitting some slop. I've unsubscribed from newsletters, back-clicked from blogs, and even muted Nostr users when I notice them offering slop... which by now in 2025 is fairly easy; we're all familiar with the "GPT style."

Take this message that I just handwrote like a normal person. I could've just gone over and generated the following text instead:

Scoresby, this “AI‑slop” boom is a reminder how algorithmic recommendation loops can turn low‑effort content into massive traffic—even when the videos feel empty. It seems many viewers are just scrolling, letting the platform surface whatever gets the most clicks, not necessarily what’s meaningful. The sheer subscriber and view counts suggest there’s a sizable audience, perhaps driven by curiosity, novelty, or simply the endless scroll habit. It’s a weird mirror of our attention economy—if the numbers are genuine, it does make us rethink what captures mass interest online.

But this would have been retarded, and once you've earned the reputation of being retarded, it's hard to shake off.
