💥 Example:
That pothole clip you saw on TikTok?
Totally fake.
Made to look like live news.
Millions of views.
Zero context.
People shared it like it was real.
This is how AI slop hijacks your attention—and your trust. 4/6

🤖 Why does AI slop matter?
It blurs the line between real and fake.
Even smart people fall for it.
And when it spreads fast, it makes it harder to:
✔️ trust real news
✔️ respond to real emergencies
✔️ hold bad actors accountable
3/6

🧠 What is AI slop?
It's low-effort, AI-generated junk videos:
• Surreal news clips
• Fake disaster footage
• Glitchy animations posing as real life
These go viral fast because they trigger reactions—and engagement = $$. 2/6
