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?

To prepare for the future use of these resources.

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.
