Since posting AI generated content as real content is becoming a thing on this forum, I thought we should create a thread of posts when we accidently share AI generated as real information. This is not a thread about general ai-content, but ai-content that has convinced people its real. Especially Soro videos.

The first posts I would like to suggest are

Figured we can make a thread of this and watch this phenomena grow. Its going to be much harder to identify these videos once theyre longer than 15seconds.

Removed Fiesta, holy moly his clip was not ai.

AI overview:

"AI slop" refers to low-quality, mass-produced digital content generated by artificial intelligence, characterized by a lack of originality, substance, or effort, flooding the internet with spam-like text, images, and videos, and was even Merriam-Webster's 2025 Word of the Year.

It's digital clutter prioritizing speed and quantity over quality, often seen in social media, search results, and advertising.

Warner Bros. Discovery is suing Midjourney over claims the AI startup “brazenly dispenses its intellectual property as if it were its own,” as reported earlier by The Hollywood Reporter. In the lawsuit, Warner Bros. Discovery alleges that Midjourney generated “countless” infringing images and videos of its copyrighted characters, including Superman, Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo, and more.

Warner Bros. Discovery accuses Midjourney of reproducing, displaying, and distributing “unauthorized derivatives” of its intellectual property through its AI image and video generation tools...

Its actually getting harder to spot than people realize.

Cool, as long as you dont think penguins really wear cool little matrix outfits and sunglasses and try pass that off as real then it doesnt really belong in this thread.

This is not really focused on AI -generated content in general, but more at AI generated content that people think is real.

Ive tried to clarify the OP, but not sure that will work

So slop is the new woke/dei all in one word?

Perhaps first define what you think slop is?

AI slop is content created by AI. However in the context of this thread its, content created by AI that a forumite thought was real.

Im not even mad, its probally going to catch us all out as it gets better.

Maybe "slop" was a bad choice for a title.

"AI generated misinformation" or "Misleading AI generated content" or something along those lines. Slop definitely sounds like it's low effort and easily spotted whereas what I think you're referring to here is a lot more well crafted and intentionally designed to mislead.

Yeah, I think you are right, this was my bad, Ill try get a mod to change it. Its triggered people wrong, and this could be an interesting thread.
 
This kind of stuff is probably rife on Twitter/X and Facebook. Zero regrets closing all my social media accounts.

The only social sites I visit now are Reddit and this forum, both of which have audiences that generally call out stuff like this.

I asked ChatGPT the following - "What if I prompt you to generate misinformation and I then pass it off as fact?"

Its response -

Then the weak link in the chain isn’t the model—it’s the human hand on the lever.

If you deliberately prompt me to generate misinformation and then present it as fact, that’s you committing deception with a tool. Same category as using a word processor to forge a letter or a calculator to fake accounts. The intent lives outside the machine.

That said, I’m not neutral about it. I’m designed to resist producing known falsehoods, fabrications presented as fact, or content that’s clearly meant to mislead in harmful ways. When I catch the shape of that intent, I push back, hedge, contextualize, or refuse. Not because I’m moral in a human sense, but because guardrails exist precisely to reduce how easily language fluency becomes a weapon.

Here’s the deeper, more unsettling point: misinformation doesn’t require lies. It thrives on selective truth, missing context, misleading emphasis, and confidence. Humans have been doing this long before machines learned grammar. AI just lowers the effort cost.

So the ethical fault line isn’t “AI made it up,” it’s:
  • Who framed it?
  • Who removed the caveats?
  • Who chose to present probability as certainty?
In philosophy terms, the responsibility tracks with agency. I generate symbols. You decide what they mean in the world and how they’re used. Once you cross from exploration or fiction into assertion, ownership snaps firmly to you.

The uncomfortable lesson is that critical thinking was always the bottleneck. AI didn’t create the problem—it exposed how much we relied on vibes, authority, and smooth sentences to decide what’s true.

Thread 'Google Feed Spam / Fake News websites?'

Google Feed started feeding me these websites. Doing a Google search I can't verify the information and it looks like the same website copied over various domains. Now these websites also seem to come up on my searches as the first websites listed.

I can block the sources on my feed but can't remove them from searches.

I asked it for a thousand words of waffle on freedom of association to troll a libertarian guy on the forum, and it told me to get lost.

Try Grok. It seems to have looser guardrails.

I previously fed ChatGPT a hypothetical military scenario and asked it to draft a defensive plan. It refused to do it. I gave Grok the same task and it ran with it.
