People got upset in a thread where I said almost all ads, and a large portion of new movies, are ai slop. Its definitely true for any short videos (especially of animals) that you see (note the possum being scared video).
I give the internet and media about 3 years until every single thing is sloppy lazy ai trash.
The only ad I’ve seen so far that I can say with certainty was generated with AI is a new billboard on the highway for a plumbing company using an ai generated image of a bear in overalls unclogging a toilet.
But I also think a lot of ads 2-3 years old were written by or tweaked using an AI, while not 100% generated by one. Ads have always been weird to stand out, but some of them recently are formulaic in their weirdness that it just feels like it had to have some part of it generated.
You assume the bubble won’t pop in 3 years
3 years seems generous.
Yesterday while buying stuff for my cat, some new brand already using AI for the packaging. It’s hideous, where’s my cutely drawn picture or a handsomely photographed cat!?
It’s just bizarre how quickly companies will use AI that looks worse when literally millions of beautiful, real Cat pictures exist.

Where are you getting this from?

we really need an “ai critics” community that’s better moderated
I guess it depends on what ads you’re talking about. I saw my first television ad using AI last night, but so far they’re a rarity on television.
Youtube ads? All over the place. Crappy static ads at the bottom of news pages? All over the place.
It will get worse. Idiocracy level worse.
Wait, that possum video was AI?
Yeah, baffling I know
I’m already getting tons of suggested videos in my YouTube feed that are blatant AI shit videos with like 150 views. Annoying as fuck.
Edit: like this fucking shite here
I immediately block any YouTube account that mentions sleep/rest in the name at this point. There are hundreds of those fake history ones that are straight up hallucinations of things that never happened.
Wait you can block YT channels!?
Click “do not recommended videos from this channel”. You can only do it from the main scroll, it won’t allow it when scrolling while watching a video.
I watch a couple gun channels and a Navy seal vet that roasts fake Navy seals and get recommended all this right wing bullshit. I have to clean house every time I watch one of their videos. It’s fucking annoying
That button has never worked for me…
Damn. I wouldn’t like that.
The way " the algorithm " pumps all that BS at people is diabolical
It’s never failed for me.
There’s also, however, if you’re using a Firefox-descended browser, the BlockTube add-on for stronger killing of channels.
That sounds like the right thing to do. It’s strange, because I’ve also noticed that all these AI algorithm videos are related to sleep, history, and storytelling. I’m not entirely sure why that is. But it sure makes it easier to identify the slop.
I think it’s because it’s a category that’s usually on autoplay while people aren’t paying attention or are, as named, sleeping, so it’s easier to go unnoticed.
you and everyone else on the internet?
3 years? I think it will happen much sooner than that.
We’re already two years in.
