Slop
The Quiet Flood Drowning the Internet
About this book
Slop is the quiet flood of low-quality, AI-generated content that is drowning the internet. From auto-generated articles and spam comments to synthetic social media profiles and fake reviews, Slop examines how generative AI has made it cheaper than ever to produce content that looks human but carries no human intent, understanding, or accountability. The book explores what this means for search, for trust, and for the future of the open web.
