"Slop" suggests that the only difference is in quality, but the definition of engineer says nothing of quality.

Perhaps you might consider using an LLM to build a system that creates a response that is more coherent?

> the definition of engineer says nothing of quality

The definition you used makes someone who maintain a twitter account or use a coffee machine an "engineer"... everyone is an engineer by that definition really

Slop doesn't suggest the difference is only in quality, but also in form. Words have meanings, ya know?

I can have an LLM generate me code-like text all day long, but that doesn't means it's building a system. Just like I can eat Chicken McNuggets all day long, but that doesn't mean I'm eating a roast chicken.
