💨 Abstract

In 2025, Merriam-Webster's word of the year was "slop," highlighting the surge of low-quality AI-generated content. Despite initial promises, AI's impact in 2025 was largely negative, with issues like machine-generated pornography and spam. Key questions about AI's content and transparency remain unanswered. The European Union is set to require companies to disclose training data details by mid-2027.
