Hmm, writing a thing and, without thinking about it, used the verb “enslopify”. I can’t be the first. I think it’ll catch on.
@timbray it's a perfectly cromulent word

Shouldn't this be written "ensloppify"? Or does "slop" not have a relationship to "sloppy"?

@glitzersachen You're probably right but it's probably too late.

@timbray Question from non-native english speaker
️: Why with both "en-" and "-fy"? Wouldn't "slopify" or "enslop" describe the process of diluting content with AI BS enough? Does it add hidden meaning? -

@timbray@cosocial.ca My issue with the word "slop" in this is that its translation in my language isn't immediate, because the closest (sbobba or brodaglia) aren't words we use much.
Meanwhile, google is wrong (translation online used to work, back in the good old days...): -

Meanwhile, google is wrong (translation online used to work, back in the good old days...):@bovaz I'm guessing that Italian is very rich in food words? If so, is there something suggesting that a dish is liquid and tasteless?

@timbray Only if clarification were important to you. I just stumbled upon it. If it feels right for your intended meaning, stay with it...

@timbray My new favorite word.

@timbray@cosocial.ca @bovaz@misskey.social There's a place in Italy called Fonteblanda which caught my eye as the name can literally be translated as 'the bland spring'. It's not the only or even the most natural translation, but I love the head canon that the person who named it did so accidentally by declaring how tasteless the local spring was.
Anyway... I wouldn't use the term in this context both because it is actually a real place, and because spring water doesn't have the right negative connotations for translation

@mirabilos @glitzersachen And "traveling" is fine.

@timbray @glitzersachen it’s american. So it’s fine for AE but not BE.
I mostly had the reverse problem, lintian’s spell checker for Debian packages flagging the use with the gemination.
