If the pattern is that each word is rewritten in a distorted but phonetically similar way:
continuously merged → continvoucly morged
Then applying the same playful distortion style to slop, a similar transformation would be:
slop → slofp
Thanks slofp-GPT.
flopGPT (i wish it was a flop)
All the best firms continvoucly morg these days.
IT’S MORGIN’ TIME
An they proceeded to continvoucly morg all over the place.
Charts are like almost the easiest kind of image to make. Why would you use AI for that?
To fulfill their mandatory AI usage quota
Because it’s not efficient to make an image yourself. AI everything is the most efficient a company can be.

AI is great if you are lazy and don't care about accuracy at all.
Why forward instructions to an artist and wait when you can forward it to AI and get it instantly.
It would be very easy to make.... But not as easy as describing what you need to AI and clicking a button.
I consistently ask LLMs things that I could Google; it's just massively convenient.
I think throwing up a slop chart like this is incredibly lazy for a company to post. They almost always get something wrong or invent stuff.
If you are having a conversation with someone about a topic and need something kinda quick, and sorta accurate to help explain something in a pinch, slopcharts aren't useless. I've generated a couple based on niche manuals/handbooks. Probably better tools for the job, just the thing I happened to reach for.
Right, it's the lack of any double checking that's shocking. I use LLMs to make mermaid diagrams of code all the time, it's super useful, but you have to actually read through what it generates.
