Is it premature to blame AI Slop?
Yes. We need statistics before that, not a single anecdote.
And even then we won't be able to tell if it's because of the AI or because they fired everybody that knows what they are doing.

You will never know. Lots of pretty important people publicly laid down the law that AI must be used; any indication that it produces crap will be hidden.
If you're asking the question, most likely yes. If you have evidence of the problem being AI slop, no.
No. As a Shopify User and app maintainer, I’ve started seeing more bugs and although Shopify is still much more reliable than Github, it’s the second time in 6 months I see it going down, something that would never happen 5 years ago.
Last month I found a critical bug in the forum where you could edit anyone’s post title.
