If you automatically and by default call it slop, I’m going to assume your art is slop.
If you use AI as a tool to create art, then of course it’s art and you thought it up.
LLMs are just tools. It ain’t that complicated.
To me, it’s like saying cgi isn’t art because it takes away from using paint brushes or colored pencils or whatever. I don’t remember when computer graphics first started coming out, were people calling it CGI slop? Probably too long ago to know.

I don’t recall the term CGI slop during my college days of game and graphic design, but I do recall people hating movies with CGI in them. Then as they became better, that rhetoric faded for a few years, but then it came back with AI slop.
Humans can create slop in all aspects of life too. If we didn’t, we would probably be living in a utopia. The problem now is that we create slop faster than ever, because it is like a get rich quick scam.
I treat AI as a tool, rather than a crutch. With the millions of people that are using AI for everything though, using it as a crutch is, unfortunately, far more common.
