The zone has been flooded with cheaply made AI content with potentially dangerous implications. John Oliver recently laid out the case against this “AI Slop”".

First up, John Oliver takes no prisoners in his piece on “AI Slop”, which he calls “worryingly corrosive for the concept of objective reality”.
Second, Oxford philosopher John Tasioulas’s 2024 TedX Talk Why AI is a threat– and how to use it for good considers the dangers of AI to our own self understanding and value, and suggests how to deploy AI in ways that encourage participatory democracy for the benefit of humans.
