Another meaning that is becoming more common, esp. among gen-z/booktok folks: overly verbose/poorly structured/flat writing. The example being Duma's Count Monte Cristo.

Yeah, the laziness of detractors in their language around "slop" frustrates me. It amounts to a constant stream of shallow dismissals.

I have tried to draw a distinction between the two but honestly, when it comes to art, I cannot.

I have seen LLM generated code that I find acceptable, and don't call slop, but art needs a certain level of emotion and shared experience to be compelling.

I have never managed to connect to LLM writing, it always comes off as shallow and vapid.

How would you define high-quality LLM output? How do you differentiate it from LLM slop?

I think all LLM output used "as is" for content/entertainment/art is slop.

well, I guess it depends on how you use it, is it a noun or a verb.

If a verb unslop means to reverse. I thought that was a more interesting idea.

As a noun I think you would not use unslop to mean the opposite of slop but rather non-slop.

Based on my grammatical preconceptions of how I would use slop I felt that unslop had to be a verb, and the contest should somehow reflect that.
