How everything became AI slop

I don’t always share many videos here, but I thought this Tunnel Vision video was poignant.

I’m grateful I’m off most social media now because, as the video goes into, those services are designed to promote this garbage. Media literacy has faltered globally, but it’s collapsed in the US, where we’ve commodified algorithms to serve the god of shareholder profits, and it’s beneficial for corporations like Meta, Google, and TikTok to keep users engaged no matter the cost.

Every time I come across AI stuff like this, I ask myself: why bother? Why bother engaging when no one has actually created anything? Why read what no one bothered to write? Ideas are the easy part; execution is where talent truly lies.
