"Our pick’s rise was spurred by Openai’s release of Sora, a generative artificial-intelligence (ai) platform that can create videos based on a prompt. Suddenly social-media feeds were filled with such clips. A term that started circulating in the early years of generative ai is now everywhere: “slop”.

The word, of course, is far from new: the [oed]’s first citation is from the 15th century. Its meaning has evolved from mud and slush, through a weak liquid used as a poorly nourishing food, to any kind of food scraps, to nonsense or rubbish."" - Word of the Year 2025 from the Economist.
