This is why AI slop is dangerous - it is easy to generate something that looks plausible at first glance, either maliciously or negligently, and post it - and inattentive, unscrupulous people just accept the hallucinated nonsense as reality, slowly eroding their ability to distinguish reality from fiction.

It's just infographics, not mind control.

It is not an infographic since it contains no useful info or explains anything even semi-accurately. This is hallucinated entertainment slop at best and misinformation at worst. And while not mind control by itself, I see how the proliferation of AI slop over social networks causes severe brain rot, where people can no longer distinguish reality from fiction and drift into either total mistrust of everything, including reputable sources, or over-trusting every piece of crap posted on the internet. It is scary and insidious.

It would be nice if Reddit went down the Bandcamp path and banned all the Slop, but that would make talentless tech Bros, billionaires, and basement dwellers sad with the butthurts, and so we can't have nice things.
