Comment on AI Slop Is a Brute Force Attack on the Algorithms That Control Reality

I think it’s interesting how “maximizing for engagement” inevitably leads to slop taking over everything. I wonder if real people (with real money) will continue to engage with the slop? Some people surely, but enough to sustain these mega-corps?

I have wondered this too. Will it just all become bots talking to bots.

  Yeah I have to imagine much of it is bots/artificial views already, this line from the article stood out:
  
  That means this short reel has been viewed more times than every single article 404 Media has ever published, combined and multiplied tens of times.
  
  It doesn’t shock me a single reel has significantly more views than all of 404 media, but “multiplied tens of times”? A recent comment me chuckle:
  
  “Investor fraud is basically the entire business model of well basically everything anymore.”
  
  (implying the ad views are faked to increase the stock price).

    Being relatively a relatively unknown outlet that forces extra steps on anyone who wants to read their articles probably sets the bar pretty low. Especially when a lot of people will just share archive links.
