The article discusses the overwhelming rise of 'AI slop,' which constitutes low-quality AI-generated content that lacks originality and coherence. This phenomenon is prevalent across multiple digital platforms, with estimates suggesting over half of LinkedIn posts are machine-generated. The author highlights that much of this content is characterized by buzzword overload and a lack of fresh ideas. Events like CES showcase the tendency to label products with AI without substantial innovation, ultimately questioning the value and integrity of such content in the digital landscape.
AI slop refers to the proliferation of poorly crafted, low-effort, or unpolished AI-generated content that lacks coherence, quality, originality, or purpose.
During my recent visit to CES, almost every booth had AI slapped onto whatever they were making or doing.
The flood of low-quality, generic, or soulless AI-generated content clutters digital space, invading inboxes and social media feeds.
A study published in Wired by AI detection startup Originality AI estimates that over 54% of longer English-language posts on LinkedIn are likely AI-generated.
