18,000 Likes for Fake Flood Rescues: AI's Niche Nightmare
18,000 people just watched and liked LSU's football coach rescue flood victims in Texas. Except he didn't. Welcome to your personalized reality.
The AI slop machine has evolved beyond generic content. Now it's manufacturing hyperspecific fantasies for every micro-audience imaginable. LSU Gridiron Glory pumps out images of football coach Brian Kelly saving flood victims, meeting Tim Cook, getting deported by Trump, none of it real, all of it engaging thousands.
The economics are brutally simple: One operator runs hundreds of pages, flooding Facebook with AI-generated disasters. Blake Shelton rescuing dogs in Texas floods. Luke Bryan donating to shelters. Each image links to ad-stuffed websites. The Voice Fandom page hit 18,000 likes on a single fake rescue photo.
This isn't random, it's algorithmic precision. Social platforms know LSU fans might click on their coach as hero. Voice viewers engage with judges as saviors. The slop adapts to your interests, creating bespoke unrealities. Your feed becomes a mirror reflecting not truth, but what you wish were true.
The endgame Christina Stephens spotted on Bluesky: infinite content silos. Every niche, every celebrity, every disaster remixed for every audience. Cheap to produce, easy to spam, occasionally viral enough to profit.
- Single operators managing 100+ slop pages
- 18,000 likes on completely fabricated rescue images
- AI "news" sites monetizing through ad overload
When your reality becomes whatever an algorithm thinks you'll click, who decides what's real?
