Who needs real comments any more? Make them look real and consensus is pushed not formed. This is why human engagement is at a all time low, it's mostly the bots that get the attention with their manufactured support and votes.

And now that TTS is barely distinguishable from an organic person, increasingly more of the videos themselves are 'AI slop'.

So, soon it'll be bots arguing with bots about bot-written, bot-edited, and bot-narrated content.

Yay, slop all the way down!

Yes I'm sure we are going to get vast amounts of AI content rubbish everywhere. And for sure we're going to have increasingly serious problems with bad actors using AI in harmful ways.

Others will use AI in positive and creative ways. I think AI-assisted comments can be positive and helpful under correct human oversight, but they are useless if they are surrounded by AI junk.

The AI slop effect is undoubtedly changing the media landscape. And then there will be the adverse AI-related effects that we haven't even got a name for yet, e.g. AI-powered psychological manipulations that subtly influence people, sometimes in personalized individual ways.

Human society will adapt. Perhaps there will be an increased value placed on genuine communications and analog content for example ...

The ironic part is, it's humans leading the charge, with their heads buried deep in the sand to avoid thinking about how this decays society.
