Slop is not good, actually.
Literally the definition of the word slop is "content that is worthless".
It cannot be good—if it would be good, it wouldn't be worthless and then by definition it's not slop.
Now if you, for example, use LLMs to generate code that actually serves the function you want it to serve (let's say while prototyping something), it's not slop, but perhaps experimental or prototype code.
If it's something you generate for other people like for production code and it's not reviewed, then it's slop—it's worthless _even if it works_ because you don't know if it actually works and didn't take the care or responsibility required to make a work product.

Academia is so cooked.
I'm constantly getting emails for courses like this one, which promises to teach you to use GenAI to (a) come up with survey items, and (b) to then *validate* those items. Step (a) is bad enough, but then step (b), which typically involves asking humans to take the survey and then using sophisticated techniques to make sure it's measuring what you want it to, is replaced by piping the survey into the computer and treating the output text as meanigful res…
