First time I heard the word cheugy, my co-worker who was two years older than me said she couldn’t get with the new slang that ‘my generation’ was using like cheugy- babe no one uses cheugy, and you’re in the same generation as me
I think the biggest part in it though, is that there isn't another word other slop(to my knowledge) that people use to describe "lazy AI content", whereas people were already using other words to call people ugly or unfashionable.
And also I like it personally, so I think it should stay.
I’ve really enjoyed your Instagram videos and now Substack posts. The short length of these posts also make them very digestible. Eventually, I hope I can work with you to have a guest author feature on my own Substack on the effects of technology on language.

I've seen people extending the definition of "brainrot" to cover "slop," so we'll see
can't wait for delve to drop off in usage except in ai written works
