Wasnt "slop" used before AI to describe something bad and masse produced on the internet?

Not even the internet specifically, but often media in general. It comes from the use of "slop" as the mix of garbage that you pour into a feeding trough for pigs. Basically junk that companies think people will gobble up regardless of the quality.
