What does it mean for a programming language to be AI slop? (lemmy.ml)

I have seen people on the Fediverse saying that Rust, Python and some other languages are AI slop now.

Apart from the numerous ethical problems with AI, what are the practical implications of this? If a language itself is vibe coded, does that mean any software written in that language will also be buggy and perform worse? Or is it fine to use a vibe coded language like Rust as long as I don't use AI myself?

The maintainers accept LLM generated patches or use LLMs for code review or finding bugs.

Those are not the same. There's no problems with using AI to find security bugs and then having a human verify and patch it

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
