The Problem with A.I. Slop! - Computerphile

Explores the proliferation of AI-generated content online, with research suggesting approximately 50% of new web articles are now AI-created. Discusses motivations behind mass content generation (primarily ad revenue and political influence), the degradation of information quality as AI trains on its own output, and the resulting challenges for search engines and future AI training. Draws parallels to email spam evolution, suggesting users may eventually gravitate toward trusted human-curated sources while ignoring low-quality AI content.
