Agreed. AI slop is literally everywhere. It has ultra saturated the internet more than I think any of us are even really aware of. The fact that there are countless AI generated articles, images, videos, songs, etc that are getting millions and millions of human engagement says all we need to know.
After playing Cyberpunk 2077 a few years ago and now witnessing the rise of hyper AI slopdom, I genuinely believe we’ll hit a point where we have to count the current Internet as a lost cause and create a new one that’s fully firewalled from the old one. Bots will only get smarter, more efficient, and more numerous as the AI era marches onwards. It’s catapulting us further and further into a post-truth society, causing immeasurable damage. With the way the Internet is structured and engineered, there’s no effective way of battling it. The current Internet belongs to AI/bots, and countless people are completely fine with it and/or happily ignorant of it.
