Rude thing to say about something somebody took the time and made, IMO. Especially considering that there's literally nothing wrong with the images we're even talking about. The pictures are just fine.

You knew, sometimes the most skilled artists can still produce shit, and you’re entitled to not enjoy every piece regardless of its technical quality.

I’m not talking about the OP image, I’m talking about boardroom driven, focus tested “entertainment products” that have about as much in common as “food products” do with nutrition.

And thus, the word "slop" begins losing meaning.

This different between AI and Photoshop is that Photoshop takes time and skill; you need creativity.

Sure. But this doesn't look like AI in the first place. It looks more like a Maya render, if anything.

Slop as a slang term is far older than its present use to primarily describe the output of AI, see Merriam Webster’s definition 4-C for the second noun meaning of the word:
a product of little or no value : rubbish

Right, but the current colloquial usage of the word, especially in the context of digitally-manipulated images, is AI-centered. People aren't using the word "slop" to describe bad photoshops, they're using it to describe bad AI-gen.

…so the new meaning is losing meaning as people start to use the word more with its older meaning?
Seems fine to me

Words can be used in multiple different, concurrent ways.
