Slop has always been a thing, even before AI. Remember when Fist of the North Star was famous? Every shonen that came after was just trying to ride that wave. Those series were slop. Slop is something that's easy to mass-produce or lacks distinctiveness. For something to not be slop, it needs to be either difficult to create or genuinely different. That's why aesthetics like Nyanlia and Quarkstake became popular in the AI community alongside Noob, they were a response to the plastic anime slop that Pony was producing.
