AI, the New Aesthetics of Fascism, by Gareth Watkins

https://newsocialist.org.uk/transmissions/ai-the-new-aesthetics-of-fascism/

(Tip of the hat to Anthony Moser via @davidgerard )

The right wing intellectual project is simply to ask: 'what would have to be true in order to justify the terrible things that I want to do?' The right wing aesthetic project is to flood the zone -  unsurprisingly, given their scatological bent, with bullshit - in order to erode the intellectual foundations for resisting political cruelty.

The #OpenStreetMap project has been dealing with #AI #slop for almost a decade. It's sooooo bad. It's so rubbish. The quality is bad. It never meets what the salesmen promise. It takes much more time to fix it up than it would have taken to do it properly.

When Google’s slop meets webslop, search stops: https://pluralistic.net/2025/07/15/inhuman-gigapede/#coprophagic-ai

A very good article on awful Google AI search results and how Google have ruined their own reputation by wrecking their workforce, by @pluralistic. A quote:

'Publishers and advertisers have more concentrated money than readers, but the dominant theory of antitrust since the Reagan administration is something called "consumer welfare," which holds that monopolistic conduct is only to be condemned if it makes consumers worse off. If a company screws its workers or suppliers in order to deliver better products and/or better prices, then "consumer welfare" holds that the government should celebrate and protect the monopolist for improving "efficiency."

But all that is true only if Google AI Overviews are good. And they are very, very bad.'

Don't use Google for search.

You know how these days, search engines put garbage LLM summaries above results - and then prioritize links to garbage LLM pages above real sites in the results links?

Can we call those "top of the slops"?

...and seeing some "funny" AI slop circulating on Mastodon just now, makes me wish there was a feature to flag AI content, just like it's possible to flag other inapproriate material...

Edit: as it happens, there already is a request for this in Mastodon upstream: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/30277

@rolle And then you start counting fingers in the pic and wonder if it was created with AI.

It's so, so sad indeed.
