Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has deleted a host of fake social media profiles generated by artificial intelligence after a backlash against what Gizmodo called an invasion of “AI-powered slop.” The AI avatars managed by the platform include “Liv”, who “posts photos of children that do not exist, and “Jade”, who posts photos of her non-existent vinyl collection. “The AI apocalypse is here and it’s far stupider and more depressing than we were promised.” Source: Is ‘AI slop’ breaking the internet?
