Slopper
A mocking label for someone who relies heavily on AI-generated content or chatbots and appears to have outsourced too much thinking, writing, or decision-making.
“He asked a chatbot how to reply to “good morning,” and the group chat called him a slopper.”
Slopper is usually an insult aimed at people who consume AI slop, post obvious generated content, or use chatbots for every minor task. The criticism is about uncritical dependence rather than any single use of AI. Using accessibility tools, getting help, or automating routine work does not automatically make someone a slopper, and the label can become unfair when it assumes laziness without context.
The noun formed from slop, especially AI slop, as public frustration grew over low-quality generated media and cognitive offloading. It gained wider notice in 2025 and 2026 as people debated whether constant chatbot assistance weakened independent judgment.
