Remember when YouTube started having AI narrated posts from r/askreddit in its shorts? And how that slowly morphed into the AI generated slop stories about how one family member give the rest of them their comeuppance because the Henderson account valued results instead of random cheap business practices involving Sgt Menendez and his cheating ex girlfriend? (This stuff is like candy to Boomers because it mirrors the reader write in sections of Reader’s Digest.) I should have noticed this earlier, but it dawned on me a few weeks back.
