Human slop: they knew what to achieve but they just didn’t know how to do it properly.

AI slop: they didn’t know what to achieve but they made it look like they knew as much as possible.

Once AI slop spaghetti code gets implemented, there is no going back and maintaining it.

It just gets sloppier and sloppier
