Fucking hell. To get their products and services into AI chatbot responses, companies are auto-generating slop and posting to the known SOURCES of chatbot data — Reddit, etc. — to try and game the system.

Need to come up with a better term for how people are trying to "game" this new age of LLM/chat/voice-based interfaces, where the traditional web is acting less as a direct interface and more as a secondary data store.

@AnthonyBaker Slop squatting is the term used for libraries that are hallucinated and then created by threat actors to exploit that vector.

In traditional SEO what you're referring to would be "content seeding" or "SEO content seeding". So "synthetic content seeding"?

I propose:

SLOP-EEDING

Seeding the internet with synthetic AI slop for the purposes of gaming LLM responses
