The backlash against AI invading almost every aspect of the computing experience is growing by the day. Particularly as an onslaught of lazy AI slop subsuming news feeds, the tech is starting to feel like a massive distraction - and huge parts of the internet are disillusioned or even fuming in anger.
Across the internet, eagle-eyed sleuths are crying " AI slop" after Saturday Night Live aired segments with what looks like AI-generated imagery. The first instance, from Saturday's cold open, shows an illustrated Christmas storybook. The images feature a hazy, yellow-ish hue and an image of streets that don't connect. The next, in "Weekend Update" showed an image of a woman playing a slot machine in an otherwise empty casino while using an oxygen tank with tubes that weren't connected.
