I don’t know how that’s possible, it’s behind Cloudflare. But for the purposes of discussion, here’s the meat of the abstract:
“We propose a provisional definition of slop as any output of a probabilistic automated system produced with little exertion that asymmetrically burdens recipients and tends to degrade cultural domains. We also conceive of AI slop along a spectrum. Works can be more or less “sloppy,” depending on the relative presence of its three constituent parts: negligible exertion, asymmetrical imposition, and domain degradation. We conclude that AI slop is a useful and important frame in AI discourse and policymaking because it provides a shorthand to distinguish harmful, inferior AI output from meaningful human authorship and because it highlights the pathologies of generative AI for social institutions.”
