It is practically impossible to log onto any social media platform today without being immediately greeted by content that was obviously generated by artificial intelligence.
For me, it has become an absolute chore. When I log into Facebook, I am bombarded with ads for Meta’s free AI creation tools. When I hop over to Instagram, older family members are routinely filling my inbox with unfunny AI video loops. But that glut of low-effort digital filler—colloquially known as "AI slop"—has become an especially massive problem on TikTok.
