Power users of OpenAI’s ultra-popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, who ask it before they do anything, just got a brand new nickname: « Sloppers. »
Power users of OpenAI’s ultrapopular AI chatbot ChatGPT have picked up a brand new nickname, and it’s unflattering.
As spotted by media critic and writer Rusty Foster on his excellent Today in Tabs newsletter, people who constantly use ChatGPT to do virtually anything have garnered the moniker of « sloppers. » (And no, we’re not talking about a cheeseburger that’s smothered in a red or green chile.)
« A friend of mine has coined the word ‘Sloppers’ for people who are using ChatGPT to do everything for them », TikTok user intrnetbf said in a recent video, which went viral on the platform. « That’s incredible verbiage. Slopper? That’s incredible verbiage. »
For instance, Foster pointed to one viral video in which a man recounted going on a first date with a woman — but was surprised when she pulled out ChatGPT on her phone and asked it what she should order off the menu. (« There was no second date », he concluded.)
The term « AI slop » has become synonymous with often garbled low-effort content online, from ChatGPT’s weird way of talking to a barrage of junk littering platforms like Facebook and Pinterest.
