François Chollet Flags Rise of AI Slop on Social Media
Chollet and Taelin describe timelines filling with AI-generated posts and bot replies.
François Chollet posted that an increasing fraction of social media consists of slop influencers using AI to make posts and bots replying to them, calling it an echo of an echo of an echo. Victor Taelin replied that more of the timeline is AI-generated content from engagement farmers, with automated accounts responding underneath. He described it as copies of copies of copies with nothing original left. Both posts treat the pattern as directly visible in current timelines.

1 post@fchollet So true. More and more of the timeline is just AI-generated content from engagement farmers, with automated accounts responding underneath. It's copies of copies of copies — nothing original left.
