Jesus H. Christ, Facebook is becoming AI slop central. I first noticed it about 1.5 years ago when suddenly I saw adverts to these random military pages that had "cutaways" of aircraft, or pictures of aircraft or such. At first I thought it was pretty neat that someone had painstakingly taken an F-16 to pieces and liked up all the individual parts one by one, but hey, people have done that with cars and shit for advertising purposes, so I figured it was something similar. Then I started looking closer at the images, and some of the parts made no sense, while it lacked obvious other parts such as tubing for the jet engine.
Well, that was then. I almost never use FB anymore, but my Mother does. Once in a while I am with her when she's on it and she either calls me over to see some "amazing video" of a family of owls sheltering in a tree, or cats walking upright, or shit like that. OK, it's innocuous I think. Then she start talking to me about all these plots about how Queen Camilla and Megan Markel are now supposedly plotting to usurp the throne when King Charles dies, and how the 10 year old son of Prince William is plotting to do something and making video blogs about it, as if this were Crusader Kings or something. I start looking into it, and her feed is filled with this AI generated news shit about all sorts of god damn crap like this. And because it's on FB she gobbles it all up, likes it all, which means she is fed even more of this slop.
The mind boggles!
