Word of the Year 2025: Slop

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen slop as the 2025 Word of the Year. We define slop as “digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.”

Like slime, sludge, and muck, slop has the wet sound of something you don’t want to touch. Slop oozes into everything.

Könnte für die ganze zweite Hälfte des Jahrzehnts ganz passend sein.
