Slop might save us from social media
If true, this is probably great. Obvs people engaging with each other – with strangers – on social media is too risky for society: “People aren’t connecting or conversing on social media like they used to; they’re just wading through slop, that is, low-effort, low-quality content produced at scale, often with AI, for engagement.” (Via…
