Slop Until You Drop

The gates to AI Hell have been opened wide, and out flows an endless stream of automatically generated and often disturbing rubbish to distract those enchained to their phones. Cue the Dead Internet theory. Ironically, this eerie, pointless slop is used by other AIs for ‘training’, setting up a downward spiral of declining quality. Combined with the drastic AI-led decline in search engine quality with results drowning in AI hot-takes and sponsored links (we’re looking at you, Google), the Internet is no longer looking like a place by humans and for humans, but an infinite chamber echoing with the meaningless chatter of trillions of bots. One suspects were are at the end stage of this process.
