AI’s Invasive Species
The slop is winning.
Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

People are using ChatGPT twice as much as they were last year. They’re still just as skeptical of AI in news.
"For news organizations, our findings are in some ways bitter medicine."
No time to read the long version of our new @reutersinstitute.bsky.social research on use & views around GenAI, information, and news in 6 countries? Then read the summary, just out with @niemanlab.org.
