Large online propaganda campaigns are flooding the internet with 'AI slop,' researchers say

1. A lot of people manufacture it to monetize the clicks

A British company tried to enroll me about 10 months ago. You choose your topic and guide AI to write the script, there are sites to choose the talking head and voice. Some of it you can't tell the difference, but the repetitive head fakes and gestures are a dead giveaway. There are trolls to fill the comments with hype, though discerning folks aren't duped. I know of genuine people who do it and they're not engaging YouTube very much anymore. I can spot AI fakes unless they're very good, but what annoys me is the channels that chop up decades old interviews, perhaps add narration in the original voice and then act like it's new content. Waste of time. I have to wonder if AI and the internet won't render themselves useless. If none pay attention won't it go away? Truth is entering the Dark Ages in an era of universal communication.
