I'm old enough to remember when 'C++ slop' was the battle cry of 'real' coders. Then it was 'Unity slop' and 'Unreal slop' from those who thought hand-rolled engines were superior in every way. Now it's AI slop. People draw a line on the abstraction hierarchy below which they are happy to automate the tedium. The line just moved... that's all. Skilled people will still make superior software. We have been inundated with low quality slop since the birth of digital distribution decades ago. It's nothing new.
