Slop slop
Slop slop is text that repetitively calls things slop. Because of the popularity of the word slop[1] to refer to AI generated text, it is now used to derisively refer to text online that one dislikes. Because human tastes differ greatly, almost every piece of work is likely to be declared 'slop' by someone at some point of time.
The repetitive use of the word 'slop' to describe a text negatively rather than to use descriptive verbiage that clarifies why a text is rubbish is in itself a form of slop. Hence, such criticism is slop slop.
