AI Overview
AI slop refers to low-quality, generic digital content (text, images, video) mass-produced by generative AI with little to no human oversight. It is designed to saturate online platforms for, clicks, SEO, or advertising revenue, often replacing authentic, valuable content with "brainrot" or inaccurate information.

Purpose: It is created at scale to manipulate algorithms and monetize attention
.
Consequences: It overwhelms legitimate content, spreads misinformation, and devalues human creativity.

yep - thats what it does at a populist level.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) in --- mega (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) out.


but the other side of it is,,,well off the internet babble landscape ----> accurate data in answers out (reliable answers). i am afraid it is well and truly over for the middle class (professional/clerical class). whether this is a creative cycle or simply harvesting towards a dead end i cannot say. because can AI be creative. you would want to hope not.

if you have a trade, an analogue skill you are still in the game.
but here we go, the middle class who have grown and blossomed for 400 years are facing some kind of .........end point?

mind you the analogue people need the middle class people to create the dollars that go around.

where is this going to end. dunno. but i think its a big shift and its not going to be without a lot of pain?

My son used to be an analyst at a private equity firm. Now he is getting paid to teach AI to do what he used to do.

AI Overview

I don't have cable or any streaming services so I only watch what is on YouTube. There are tons of AI videos on it. I watch a lot of WW2 documentaries and a lot of them are AI. They may have 10 photographs, no videos and a voice talking about the topic. I can't watch them.

One 'video' was about the race to cross the Rhine between Patton and Monty. It showed pictures of US and British generals but neither were Patton or Monty; just stock pictures of US and British generals.

Watched a video of '20 facts of Trading Places movie' with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. But instead of pronouncing Dan's last name with a soft A the voice kept pronouncing his name with a hard A. AI giveaway. Turned it off.

Yes. But he's a smart kid so he doesn't see it as a negative. He sees it as an opportunity to be the person teaching AI instead of the person getting replaced by AI.

Funny, I've recently been watching a bunch of WW2 YouTube. I basically listen when I drive. Some of the voices are really good until they hit a combination of letters and numbers that just aren't spoken like they are written. Sometimes it turns into a weird mumble.

I have long been interested in WW II naval warfare and YTube AI hasn't been able to properly pronounce the "bow" of a ship!

I won't add my opinion of AI, Wonki summed it up quite well.

I see it as the next dot-com boom, and then bust.

The video of a 'restoration' is laughable to the point of humiliation. I don't think there is a single frame that is accurate.

It's stitched together AI slop.

There are free models that let you prompt short 3-5 second slow-motion animations.
These videos are put together by bots that post them on social media to get views.
It's all automated, they (the bots) pick a topic, render a few short segments, stitch them together into a video, add a voice reading a script and post them to social media.

The people behind this run whole server farms creating this fake content 24/7 and sit back and rake in the money.

I blame anyone who lets "algorithms" decide what they read or watch.

[dtmehall]

unauthorized history of the pacific war

Wish ai would slop paint my car

Problem is, in the not-too-distant future that may be the only thing that will be accessible…

Most of what we do on the internet is determined by an algorithm. Search, like google, is one huge algorithm.

Before I bought my Corvette C8 I looked on youtube to see if I could find videos of the assembly process. I thought I found one and as I started watching I noticed the same woman appeared in every scene. Then, when they showed the aluminum body panels being welded I knew I had been tricked!

The internet we remember form the late 1990'd and through the 2000's has been dead for a long time.

And I imagine it will look totally different again in 10 years.
