Not every project that uses AI is immediately "AI slop".

The term "AI slop" has lost all meaning.
It was originally coined to mean low-quality material that was obviously generated by AI, like pictures of humans with distorted features and the wrong number of fingers.
But a whole bunch of people have decided that anything generated by AI is "slop", regardless of quality.
It's absolutely obnoxious, especially when people label things as "slop" when AI was merely used for brainstorming and the final product does not contain any AI-generated material at all.

I'm not to most positive about AI generated stuff, especially in terms of text and images. But with code, it is a neat tool.
I think it is especially cool in building stuff to retro specs. It has allowed many to do stuff in days or weeks that previously could have been months. Projects that don't really have much value in terms of money but are just nice to have kind of things.
This project is a great example of this.
It does come back to that question though of who will pay for the code generation but that is something for someone else.
