Pretty much any movie franchise on or after the 3rd film (Transformers, Fast and the Furious, etc). If it's based on a book series, then the first one after the source material runs out (e.g. Jurassic Park III and later).

In art, this fellow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Kinkade
It's the only Wiki entry on an artist that I've seen with no examples of his work. The nearest is a photo of a photo of Kinkade with one of his paintings.
I'm not being snobbish - it does give me the same vibe as AI generated images touted as art. Nostalgia, colour saturation, cliché, all dialled up to the max. The man died in 2012 but lives on as a brand.
That's a really good example, just a mix and regurgitate of older, better work trying to give consumers what they think they want.
Cars have been a prime example, IMO, for a long while.
Oh, the screen on your center console cracked or is out of date? You can't fix it on your own and you need the dealership to do it and if they can't, you need to upgrade your vehicle because they make the vehicle almost impossible to run without it.
Want to change your oil? A well known brandnI cannot think of the name of right now needs to approve! Heated seats? I think it was BMW that planned on charging you a subscription service for that.
I'm predicting in less than a decade, if things don't change, you'll not only be selling a liver for that car, but also all your healthy organs to be able to afford the subscription service to be able to start your car.
Oh, and don't even get me started on the kids pretending to be adults who own a vehicle so damn tall that they have to climb into it using a step thing in the side. I'm talking average height or taller and no visible signs that they struggle to enter ( other than being too short ). It's like watching an entitled toddler try to walk up stairs for the first time. You can't help but pity them, or at least I can't.

anything made by a boardroom, or"focus tested" or modified to appeal to xyz demographic.
the majority of pop music.
There's a ton of stuff that applies to the female demographic - all kinds of stupid words with LED lights on them, idiotic fake wooden plank signs that say wine o'clock, horrible "inspirational" messages in that goofy curly font, something that you'd normally sell to a guy except they hot glued a pink pom pom on it.
Soap Operas
Most songs with lyrics. One that comes to mind is a tune with the line "say what you came to say" that repeats dozens of times in 3 minutes. Dude should take his own advice and actually say something.
Just about any short form video site.
Most paperback novels sold in grocery stores
90% of the Steam library
Fast fashion
Kitchen appliances with superfluous electronics
Battery powered scooters that can't handle a mild incline
etc etc
Influenza.
Any of the sixteen YouTube channel narrated by Simon Whistler.
It may not be intentional slop but it's pretty much the definition of quantity over quality.
That guy in every social platform sharing old ass memes and not apporting nothing else rather than fill the feed with super compressed pictures of an image that you have seen a lot of times before.
