‘Slop’ - Commonly used to describe AI and is a common criticism of things people deem lacking in quality in entertainment mediums.
‘Slams’ - Commonly used in headlines to describe how critical someone’s views are towards another.

Idk if this is just me but at my job everyone says “Correct” in this really weird way that pisses me off in a way I can’t explain. Clients, workers, everyone and it’s like, the same tonality consistently, nobody’s ever like “uh huh” or “yeah” they say Correct" now, do they think it makes them sound smart or something?!
“Drop” or “dropped” to mean something’s been released/made public/announced/appeared pretty much anywhere. I know it’s not new. But over the last few years people have been saying it for everything. New thread just dropped. I just dropped my first album. That sort of thing, but for EVERYTHING.
flamiera SLAMS new age SLOP words for their ubiquity
“Clanker”. For… reasons.
How about the more PC “Clanka?”

Any violent or aggressive hyperbolic verb in all caps. “person DESTROYS argument for frobination”, “Unpopular politician WRECKED by simple argument (not demonstrated in this article)”
Schrödinger’s whatever. It’s not clever or funny, it’s mostly just pointless and overused.
I’ve been sick of ‘unprecedented’ for a long time. It isn’t supposed to mean just ‘shocking’.
So and so “breaks their silence” on a topic. What an overdramatic way to say someone made a statement about said topic. It makes it sound like people have been waiting for a prolonged period for them to say something and they’ve been inexplicably silent. On Monday morning, I saw a headline saying the Reiner family were breaking their silence on their parents murder. IT HADN’T YET BEEN 24 HOURS! HOW SOON SHOULD THEY HAVE SAID SOMETHING? someone responds to a situation as soon as could possibly be expected and headlines call it “breaking their silence”.
I’ve also seen headlines that say so and so “breaks their silence” on things nobody was asking for their thoughts on. Oh, someone hasn’t commented on every little thing that happens? They must have been holding something back.
FreshParsnip breaks her silence on this annoying headline trend. It was so weird she wasn’t saying anything until now!
I saw one where someone “broke their silence on attack on their house.” Their house had been egged with no evidence that they were specifically targeted for any specific reason.
“AI”.
Back in my day, AI was another term for the computer in video games, like CPU.
Huh, usually those talks would turn into complaining about the “AS” in my experience.
Unprecedented. I cannot recall a single time that word was used in the past five years to describe a situation or event that was without precedent.
Since COVID, the use of that word has got unprecedented levels.
Hack. When used to describe anything that some idiot realized was possible. For example, “I just discovered this amazing hack to save on my grocery bills. I buy garlic and potatoes then bury them in my yard. Six months later, I have more garlic and potatoes! Epic!!”
STFU
“Wild”
Just tired of seeing it.
Right now, that word makes me think of the start of this song
On the Slop part – I wonder if the people that go around making inaccurate accusations about things being AI know how absolutely ridiculous it makes them sound. It’s at the point where it’s so absurd that I have to wonder if it’s part of some kind of triple reverse sabotage effort to discredit the people who actually do take great offense to any kind of use of generative AI.
I’m at the point where I downvote every comment that’s nothing more than, “This is slop.” or “Is this AI slop?”
I’m reading that as, “Look how smart I am! Also, I’m part of your tribe so you should like me!”
‘POV’ - then proceeds to present something that isn’t a first person perspective.
Oh, and “positive anymore”. That’s such a bastardization. It makes me cry.
What’s the context for “positive anymore”?
Anymore is intended to be used in a negative context. You can think of it as a substitution for “no longer”. Positive anymore is a blatant abuse, and would be better substituted for “nowadays” or similar.
Correct anymore: “I can’t stand it anymore.” Positive (super wrong) anymore: “People’s grammar is really stupid anymore.”
Oh wow, I’ve never seen that but it makes me want to file a formal complaint.
