Welcome to Sloptionary
The AI-aided dictionary built with LLMs, autocomplete systems, next-token prediction, generated voices, images, video, & other machine-made media for robocentric lexicography.
Sloptionary recruits the machines to accelerate the velocity of ideas. Its mission is to turn robot-assisted language, generated artifacts, & multimodal experiments into definitions, examples, lessons, and other useful tools for human (+ others) understanding.
Sloptionary is the robot-assisted counterpart and mostly-joking rival of MorDictionary. MorDictionary keeps the human word-forge burning, while Sloptionary lets the machines into the lexicographic workshop. The rivalry is playful: robot lexicographers can inspire human lexicographers, and human lexicographers can teach the robots better tricks.
Featured Slop
Mechanomancy
Etymology: From Greek mēchanē, “machine, device, contrivance,” + -mancy, “divination.”
Definition: Divination by machine.
Expanded Definition: The practice of consulting mechanical, computational, or artificial systems for answers, predictions, judgments, or guidance.
Simulacromancy
Etymology: From Latin simulacrum, “likeness, image, imitation, phantom,” + -mancy, “divination.”
Definition: Divination by imitation.
Expanded Definition: The act of seeking meaning or guidance from a convincing imitation of intelligence, personality, judgment, or understanding.
Stochasticomancy
Etymology: From Greek stochastikos, “skilled in guessing; conjectural; probabilistic,” + -mancy, “divination.”
Definition: Divination by probability.
Expanded Definition: The practice of consulting probabilistic outputs as though they were oracles, especially in the context of large language models, which generate responses by sampling from probability distributions over possible tokens.
Note: Technically precise and delightfully arcane. Stochasticomancy captures the strange ritual of asking a machine of probabilities to produce meaning, guidance, or semi-coherent goblin prophecy.
Autopleromancy
Etymology: From Greek autos, “self,” + plēroō, “to fill, fulfill, or complete,” + -mancy, “divination.”
Definition: Divination by self-completion.
Expanded Definition: The act of deriving answers, predictions, or apparent insight from a system that completes language from its own internal patterns.
Note: A classical-sounding cousin of “autocomplete-mancy.” It suggests that the oracle does not reveal truth from beyond, but fills the empty space in front of it until the user mistakes completion for revelation.
What belongs here?
Sloptionary collects words about:
- AI-generated language
- autocomplete hallucinations
- machine-assisted creativity
- synthetic culture
- goblin-grade internet semiotics
- fake profundity that accidentally becomes real
- terms too slopped for MorDictionary
Rival Dictionary
Sloptionary competes with MorDictionary, the anthropocentric dictionary of human-made neologisms.
MorDictionary: human-forged words. Sloptionary: AI-aided slop, machine omens, autocomplete folklore, and computational nonsense.
