Kiran Garimella argues the "AI slop" label is being over-applied, bundling distinct complaints (bad prose, shallow arguments, spam, any AI involvement) into one slur. He compares AI-assisted writing to digital photo processing—destined to become invisible and routine—and warns that current norms reward concealing AI help rather than transparency, urging better filtering norms instead of blanket rejection.
