In December 2025, the renowned American dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster unveiled 'slop' as its Word of the Year. This term was chosen to characterize the enormous volume of low-grade digital content churned out by artificial intelligence. Traditionally, 'slop' was used to describe swill, which is the liquid or semi-liquid food waste fed to animals. However, over time, the word has taken on a new meaning in the digital age. It now refers to the subpar content that is mass-produced by AI systems. Such content is frequently riddled with errors and fails to meet the specific needs and expectations of users. This evolution of the term reflects the growing concern over the quality and authenticity of AI-generated content in our modern digital landscape.
