AI Slop: What, Why, How?: Keynote Presentation with Dr. Anuj Gupta

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Understanding, Diagnosing, and Tackling the Flood of Low-Quality AI Content


"AI slop" or low-quality AI-generated content is flooding our digital lives, from a deluge of cringey content on social media, to made up citations in research papers, and emails that contain more em-dashes than words. This talk breaks down what AI slop is, diagnoses why it exists, and invites you into a conversation that will help you think more deeply about how to intervene in the processes that generate AI slop. 

Knights Write is an annual celebration of excellence in writing at UCF.
