vibe working noun [U]
UK /ˈvaɪb ˌwɜː.kɪŋ/ US /ˈvaɪb ˌwɝː.kɪŋ/
a way of completing work tasks, such as creating documents or spreadsheets, by prompting an artificial intelligence tool with a general idea of what you want rather than giving it detailed instructions
Microsoft describes “vibe working” as collaboration between people and AI agents inside its productivity apps. Instead of giving a one-time response, the updated Copilot AI tools generate, test, and refine content while users steer the direction, more like a dialogue.

boomerslop noun [U]
UK /ˈbuː.mə.slɒp/ US /ˈbuː.mɚ.slɑːp/
low-quality internet content that has been created by artificial intelligence and that is designed to appeal to people from the baby boomer generation
First, let me explain boomerslop: It’s AI slop that’s particularly appealing to a Facebook-loving boomer. I say this with love and affection for baby boomers. Time comes for us all, and every generation gets roasted for its digital foibles. Boomerslop isn’t even necessarily made by boomers. (Meta told me that boomers aren’t the majority of Meta AI users.) But, let’s say, this stuff is spiritually boomerish — it appeals to a boomer sensibility.
