New research says that more than one out of every five videos YouTube suggests to new people is "AI junk or slop" These are low-quality videos made by AI just to get clicks and views. They checked the top 100 channels in every country and found that 278 of them post nothing but this computer made junk generating about $117m a year for channel owners. How long google can continue with AI slop? Are humans so boarded out that they are now watching computer generated junk? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/27/more-than-20-of-videos-shown-to-new-youtube-users-are-ai-slop-study-finds
