I think it's more useful to reserve "slop" for the second of these. Even if it's true in some domain that the only thing AI systems can make are "slop" in both senses, they might improve.
(I'm not saying that there shouldn't be a way to say the first. I just think it shouldn't be "slop" because that word is valuable as a way of saying not just "AI-created" but "AI-created, and bad in the way that many AI-created things are at the moment".)
Note: my question is a genuine question; I don't know anything about Immich and can't readily tell just from looking at the diagram whether it's actually accurate and/or useful. So I can't tell whether #1 or #2 is the actual meaning.
Thank you. The goal of these is to be be accurate, detailed, and useful. Since this got killed almost immediately, it kind of feels like many people's prior assumption is `detail == slop` and they reject it.
Slop diagram.
