In the recent days I’ve been stumbling upon weird, new so-called “AI” Mathy-math-slop sites, like linuxv*x.com[1]. Some other was called something like “tutorialsipedia”, or whatever.

Have you noticed these? Is that some weird new Startup that wants to leverage CEO and “AI”? I’d use them, but my eyes glaze off the page. It’s like a drop on a Lotus leaf and I can’t really read that garbage. What’s up with those?

    You know, I was like, wtf is slop-y. If they mean it’s slop, it should be sloppy. But then I figured, sloppy is ambiguous, ok, so what about slopp-y, for clarity? But that makes no sense because, well, it don’t, so, all right, maybe slop-y, that would wo- ooooooooooooh…

      I vote for “slopesque”, even if it has more letters. It doesn’t hurt that the most common English word that uses the -esque ending is “grotesque”, which this whole phenomenon is.
