@timbray Indeed.
Anticipating that wandering shop has a call for art submissions getting assembled, we wanted to be a little lighthearted about a strictly human made submission but recognize that there's a lot of good use of digital tools. I came up with "no pixelslop flingers".
Language evolves through its moments of need.

@timbray it's "model collapse", but same idea

@timbray I’ve written ensloppenator to describe these plausible synthetic text extruders
@timbray ensloppifier works, too.

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...): -

@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
