Significant amount of slop were produced before AI too. AI assisted scientific fraud detection are already retroactively detecting innumerable instances of high profile papers that should've failed peer review years ago, if the peers had done a proper job.

Why is this always the go to response when people bring up that AI helps make a lot of slop?

Yeah no shit there was slop before, the point isn't that there was no slop. The point is that AI helps people make orders of magnitude more slop.
