“Whether AI slop is sounding like a business influencer’s Linkedin posts, or the other way round, is anybody’s guess.”

A Hackaday writer ran a published list of "AI slop" tell-tale words against their own back catalogue and found "delve" as early as 2016, plus "testament," "pivotal" and "showcase," all from years before chatbots. The writer's conclusion is that a checklist of tells can't easily separate slop from ordinary professional writing.
