Ever scrolled through something that just screams "AI-made garbage"? Weird, over-the-top, obviously fake content? That's what people call "slop" now—and it's everywhere. Generative AI made it so easy to churn out this stuff that the term just exploded online. So much so that Merriam-Webster picked it as their 2025 word of the year. Pretty telling, right? In a world where anyone can generate content in seconds, separating the real from the synthetic is becoming a whole different ballgame. For crypto and Web3 communities, this hits different—trust and data authenticity already matter like crazy here.
