@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.

@zlatko I think it's harder to see the slop in code form than in other types of output. AI generated images all have something uncanny about them, for example. but I don't think that the absence of uncanniness means that something isn't slop, it's just not as obvious.
