"The future reality of your social feed could be a lot less real. Can I interest you in a video of Sam Altman stealing GPUs? Or a sasquatch terrorizing two of your favorite BI reporters? No? Too bad. AI slop is here whether we like it or not. BI's Katie Notopoulos, who understands internet culture better than anyone I know, breaks down the rise of short-form, AI-generated videos invading our feeds."
"The buzzy AI startup made its $200-a-month browser free for everyone on Thursday. Part of the motivation for the move, CEO Aravind Srinivas told BI's Charles Rollet, was "to build a better internet." "I think slop is fundamentally going to be easier to create now, and it's going to be hard to distinguish if something is AI or human on the internet," Srinivas said."
Short-form AI-generated videos, labeled AI slop, are proliferating in social feeds and producing weird, nonsensical clips that are increasingly realistic. Advances in AI tools are making these videos more prevalent and higher quality. OpenAI's Sora 2 allows people to be inserted into endless streams of personalized AI videos, which may drive rapid adoption. Competing platforms offer similar feeds with varying popularity. Some companies are pushing back by offering tools and positioning products to reduce slop and improve internet quality. The ease of creation and difficulty distinguishing AI from human content raise authenticity and moderation challenges.
