"Wearing a gold chain, Adidas tracksuit and handling suspiciously blurry-looking banknotes, it is obvious to most viewers that it is the product of generative AI. The creators, the Crewkerne Gazette, who run satire pages on Facebook and YouTube, have made a series of parody songs all AI-generated featuring other notable figures such as Keir Starmer, Nigel Farage and King Charles."
"Low-effort, inflammatory, part-satire, part-commentary AI slopaganda has been flooding social media for months now. It has proved to be an effective way to get attention, money and political influence online. Many of these videos are not clearcut satire. They mimic on-the-ground news reports, depicting interviews with small boat arrivals, or purport to be vlogs from the Channel crossings themselves. In these videos, AI migrants say they have come to the UK so that the government will give them money and a new phone,"
An AI-generated rap featuring Angela Rayner gained millions of views and widespread reactions on Facebook, with obvious visual signs of generative AI. The creators, the Crewkerne Gazette, produce AI-generated parody songs of public figures and are attempting to push a track into the UK Top 40. Low-effort, inflammatory, part-satire AI content has proliferated on social media and has proven effective at attracting attention, revenue and political influence. Many videos mimic news reports or Channel-crossing vlogs and portray AI migrants claiming benefits or jobs, duping some viewers despite many recognising the satire. Mass generation of low-quality slop content, not rare polished deepfakes, is the main lever of influence.
