WARNING: ALL PHOTOS FEATURING ANIMALS HAVE BEEN CREATED USING AI

When scrolling through social media recently, you might have noticed posts which seem a bit… off.

Grainy CCTV footage of a dog saving a child from a bear attack, a video of wild bunnies on a trampoline or a picture of a Christmas market outside Buckingham Palace.

It's all AI generated and due to its low quality and its inauthenticity, it's being branded AI "slop".

Both social media users and content creators say they're worried that AI slop flooding feeds is leading to a less authentic online experience - and is drowning out real posts.
