""digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.""
""We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication," Nadella wrote in a rambling post flagged by Windows Central, arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the "new equilibrium" of human nature. (As WC points out, there's actually growing evidence that AI harms human cognitive ability.)"
"Going on, Nadella said that we now know enough about "riding the exponentials of model capabilities" as well as managing AI's "'jagged' edges" to allow us to "get value of AI in the real world.""
""Ultimately, the most meaningful measure of progress is the outcomes for each of us," the CEO concludes. "It will be a messy process of discovery, like all technology and product development always is.""
Merriam-Webster chose "slop" as the 2025 word of the year, defining it as digital content of low quality usually produced in quantity by artificial intelligence. The term reflected a year of uncanny AI-generated ads, search-engine decay, and waves of AI music spamming streaming services. The choice provoked pushback from industry leaders who urged acceptance of AI and focus on realizing real-world value from model capabilities. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasized managing AI's "jagged" edges and "riding the exponentials of model capabilities." Many users resisted forced AI features, with a large share remaining on Windows 10 despite Windows 11 upgrades.
