This is very well done.

I wouldn't and don't consider this to be AI slop. The author's own reflection captures perfectly my own feelings on the matter... intent does matter.

  I think what gets lost in a lot of the AI media discussion is that intent matters. I find auto-generated slop-farm TikToks just as dystopic as the most fervent doomer, but I also remember when I was a 10-year-old kid making movies with my parents’ VHS camcorder and how much fun I would have had learning how to make things if I’d had tools like this.

According to Kagi, all AI generated content is slop.

That's a slippery slope, a really slippery slope, especially when it comes to still images. I don't believe video is any different -- intent does matter.

That is not how Kagi looks at it.

We are marking domains as slop if they contain mostly AI generated content. It is hard to say if a single piece of AI generated content is slop or not (there is useful AI generated content too). But if all the content on a domain is AI generated, it is likely something that people would not like in their results.

Kagi is entitled to their opinion. Perhaps worth noting is by that metric the original Broccoli Man video is also slop; it was generated using stock characters, voice synthesis, and auto puppeteering. The only creative input the original "artist" had was writing the text script and signing off on the final output.

Personal opinion, using modern AI slop generation to recreate AI slop from a previous generation of the technology is pretty good art.

Most meme-worthy content is actual low effort slop. That's the reality of the most recent two decades.
