Obvious ones like content scroll fodder. But also, there's slop everywhere. Even things like longform journalism or trade publications... these are often "slop." A string of platitudes and generalizations that superficially seem serious.

It might be rude to send LLM output. It's also rude not to check basic things with an LLM before wasting someone's time.
