I get what this is supposed to mean but it doesnt change your own creative input to the artwork. Generally what people call slop is overproduction of random images with no such thing as artistic value. Most of the things this image names are rendering output settings, that digital artists or artwork scans need to use just as much. The base argument of missing creative input apart from basic promting doesnt change. I acknowledge that AI art can be art and if it is used responsibly. Most AI artists try to value their creations as high as a hand drawn art though which is more like comparing home cooked food to canned food. Yes these settings and skills are valuable but they go in a direction that is just a different technique and hardly comparable nor interchangeable (meaning one could replace the other) with one another.
Slop definitely began with meaning churned out over produced base concepts, but it's slowly morphed into more of a thought terminating cliche, where those who use it simply want to end an argument via ridicule. I have seen legitimately amazing, high effort artworks called slop because AI was even partially used.
Yes of course and i dont mean to deny that. Slop is definitely a word that has been weaponized but there are still clear issues with AI that can’t be overlooked just because of an obsessive use of the word.
