The well - known American dictionary publisher, Merriam - Webster (the publisher of the Merriam - Webster Dictionary), has declared that 'slop' has been selected as the 2025 Word of the Year. This particular term is a direct nod to the massive influx of low - quality digital content that has swamped the internet throughout the past year, all thanks to the driving force of artificial intelligence. In the dictionary, 'slop' is precisely defined as 'low - quality digital content that is typically churned out in large volumes by artificial intelligence.' It functions as a catch - all term for the AI - generated content that is ubiquitous on social media platforms and across the entire digital realm.
