Slop studies?
It is interesting in the sense that any pathology is interesting, but probably not deeply so. Just as there is a banality to evil, there may be a banality of slop. Maybe people dig it for boring reasons.

Even so, it hints at a separation of people into distinct groups, who need to deploy strategies to recognize and guard against each other. So from a sociological and economic perspective, it's also interesting. I'm also interested in how slop shapes the overarching market incentives, and if the slop users win the incentives battle whether I need to increasingly opt out of the mainstream internet and seek alternatives

Good analysis. I am becoming quite interested in the sociology / psychology / anthropology of people who publish AI slop. I think we're gonna get quite a few pieces of this genre in the next 5-10 years
