Social Media Has Turned Into a Slop Factory, And I Hate That Nobody Cares

We have spent the past three years hearing that AI was going to revolutionize all of our lives, completely changing the trajectory of the future of each and every industry. While there is no doubt that AI has and will continue to bring positive changes to various aspects of our lives, it has yet to make any creative industry any better. And when it comes to memes, the internet, and content creation as a whole, AI has done nothing but make things much, much worse. 

Over the past three years, we’ve watched Twitter transform into X, like some strange Transformers where, instead of posing as cars, the bot accounts pretend to be people with divisive and controversial political beliefs, drowning out any actual, unique voices. Using sheer volume through Chat GPT-generated replies to strengthen fringe arguments using quantity. It used to be that at least once a week, there was discourse that thousands of users would have an opinion about, but now we’re forced to settle for less actual discourse in favor of more noise.
