AI Slop, Hypocrisy, and the Internet That Was Never Trustworthy
I regularly receive comments about "AI slop" from people fighting for the supposed authenticity of the internet. They forget the internet was stuffed with lies long before the AI era. Staged accidents, posed moments, fake news and fake influencers. Today a new tool has become a symbol of the collapse of truth, though the problem never lay in technology — only in unreflective content consumption.
