It's wide ranging. For example, when I was diagnosed with one of those things that requires a hematologist I told the receptionist jokingly: "I got the spicy diagnosis"

Yea like I've heard everything from "neurospicy" to describe neurodivergences to "spicy autocomplete" to describe GPT. My best shot at a concise usage definition is that it's like an especially flippant way to say "special" or "different" but there are places where that would fall apart

You also sometimes get it having a connotation of sexuality but that actually seems like a holdover of an older (maybe millenial?) idiomatic usage of the word

I've heard several people my age (early 40s, but generally pretty young at heart I guess) refer to covid as spicy cough.

In context it made sense the first time they said it, out of context I'd probably have had no idea what they meant.
