I don't know if not getting the idea right, but I'm pretty sure people refer to AI outputs as "slop" not due to (only) repetitiveness. According to some sources:

[1] Wikipedia

> AI slop is digital content made with generative artificial intelligence, specifically when perceived to show a lack of effort, quality or deeper meaning, and an overwhelming volume of production.[1][4][5] Coined in the 2020s, the term has a pejorative connotation similar to spam.[4]

[2] Urban dictionary

> Low-quality randomly generated AI content (images, accounts, text, etc) that has been flooding social media sites among other pages.

Yes, I know those may not be the best primary sources, but I'd say the main shared meaning of the word is lack of quality and effort, not repetitiveness itself.
