"Last year, there was some talk about how AI-generated wacky images—summed up
generally as “shrimp Jesus” as an example of one of the most bizarre—were
taking over Facebook. It was only a matter of time until this sort of AI slop
nonsense went political in some form or another.
Starting last Friday, people began to report that Facebook was being
overwhelmed with obviously fake reports of famous or semi-famous people making
some sort of “heartfelt” announcement regarding the death of Charlie Kirk. The
phenomenon represents a perfect storm: a politically divisive event, genuine
public emotion, and AI content generation tools all converging into what can
only be described as profitable grief porn. Here are a bunch I’ve collected."
