amusing themselves generating fake animal videos have destroyed what used to be one of the best things about the internet. Now it's all but impossible to enjoy an animal video without wondering if it will turn out to be some trick from some AI-using creep who loves fooling people but probably doesn't really love animals.

I noticed already a couple of years ago that Caturday posts on social media platforms were being flooded with AI slop.

Shame there isn't a way to make sure the AI-slop producers (none of whom are real artists) can be deprogrammed from their addictions to AI slop by limiting them to seeing nothing but AI slop for a while. That might finally make even the most AI-addled realize how horrible AI slop is.
