The pro-LLM contingent on lobsters is trying very hard to reframe the narrative so that they look like the ones on the receiving end of toxicity. They want to post all about how great the Torment Nexus is without any pushback.

And furthermore they want to reframe "slop" to mean "low quality LLM output", which introduces a gray area that is completely subjective. *My* LLM generated code is high quality, but that other person is generating slop. No, all LLM output is by definition slop. Slop cannot be a spectrum.

@dthompson okay, I understand and largely agree with the sentiment.
Your definition that all LLM output should be defined as slop, regardless of quality, is a new idea to me. I never thought about what slop means, and I assumed low quality output or completely unchecked, fully vibed output. And yes, I know that it's subjective, but that's was my assumption.
So the definition that anything touched by Almost slop is new to me and I am not certain what such a definition entails and means to me.
