AI-Generated Slop Is Quietly Conquering the Internet

"Slop can take the form of text, images, video, and sometimes even entire websites. It can also seep into real life, as thousands discovered when they recently flocked to Dublin’s city centre for a Halloween parade that didn’t exist, promoted on an AI-generated website. Similarly, the now-infamous Willy Wonka experience held in Glasgow earlier this year could be billed as real-life ‘slop’: the event really did take place, but the AI-generated visuals and text used to advertise it belied a much lower-quality reality."
