McDonalds serves a need: human tend to get hungry.
What need does filling the Internet with AI-generated slop serve? No one is ever going to read those. As I've shown, sometimes they're not even selling anything.
The multi-trillion dollar business is for hyperscalers, but I don't get what slop creators get out of this. What are they spending money for?
I wouldn't underestimate the market for AI videos. From funny to hyperpolitical/propagandist.
One of the most globally recognized attribute of the recent US-Iranian war was the Lego cartoons. This sort of content will be soon churned out by everyone.
The propaganda lego cartoons I have seen were not AI slop. They were also perfectly doable in a traditional studio. The lyrics had meaning - insulting but a real one. They were not constrained to truth, but that seemed like normal propaganda lying rather then hallucinations. The lying was very purposeful.
"the russian firehose" and "flood the zone" have been proven to work, and work well.
that a human studio can make similar things is irrelevant; they're aiming for volume, one that is utterly all-encompassing, and they will succeed in that effort.
marketing is simply the same idea but pushed towards economic ends. instead of flooding the zone with memes to curate an entirely GOP worldview, they curate a lifestyle that creates anxiety that can only be remedied by buying a comically large pickup truck

"They were also perfectly doable in a traditional studio."
You can do fifty times more of them with AI, though.
