It is the absolute "sloppiest". It's just become a lazy ill-considered critique worth nothing.

Yeah, arguments about “slop” have definitely devolved lately. Maybe it’s strange (or just typical human behavior), but using “AI = slop” as the only reason to dismiss something and refuse to engage in a discussion clearly parallels the way some people use AI to spam feeds.
I think part of the point of it, as a thought terminating cliche, is that it's usually used to critique something that is commensurately fatuous.
