AI-generated content is overwhelming the internet, particularly in autumn-themed images, which are filled with strange, nonsensical details like floating objects or distorted textures. These images, called “slop,” are clogging social media and search results, making it harder to find authentic content. The problem extends beyond visuals, with AI-generated knitting patterns, fake restaurant accounts, and bot-written books appearing on platforms like Instagram and Kindle. Despite user frustrations, platforms like Meta and X continue to encourage AI-driven engagement, prioritizing virality over quality. This normalization of AI slop makes it difficult to distinguish between real and fake content, contributing to a cluttered and less authentic online experience.
