MSvana<p>I have noticed an interesting pattern in my cognitive processes. Whenever I see a post with an AI-generated image, my sentiment towards whatever that post is presenting shifts to the negative.</p><p>I am sure I sometimes the AI-generated image is actually good and I don't even notice. But sometimes it's so obvious - distorted text, completely unrealistic depiction of some concept, and an "uncanny valley" vibe.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aislop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aislop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aigenerated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aigenerated</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The best way to think of the slop and spam that generative AI enables is as a brute force attack on the algorithms that control the internet and which govern how a large segment of the public interprets the nature of reality. It is not just that people making AI slop are spamming the internet, it’s that the intended “audience” of AI slop is social media and search algorithms, not human beings. </p><p>What this means, and what I have already seen on my own timelines, is that human-created content is getting almost entirely drowned out by AI-generated content because of the sheer amount of it. On top of the quantity of AI slop, because AI-generated content can be easily tailored to whatever is performing on a platform at any given moment, there is a near total collapse of the information ecosystem and thus of "reality" online. I no longer see almost anything real on my Instagram Reels anymore, and, as I have often reported, many users seem to have completely lost the ability to tell what is real and what is fake, or simply do not care anymore. </p><p>There is a dual problem with this: It not only floods the internet with shit, crowding out human-created content that real people spend time making, but the very nature of AI slop means it evolves faster than human-created content can, so any time an algorithm is tweaked, the AI spammers can find the weakness in that algorithm and exploit it."</p><p><a href="https://www.404media.co/ai-slop-is-a-brute-force-attack-on-the-algorithms-that-control-reality/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">404media.co/ai-slop-is-a-brute</span><span class="invisible">-force-attack-on-the-algorithms-that-control-reality/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AISlop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AISlop</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spam</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Algorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Algorithms</span></a></p>
