Very interesting reflections on how AI slop is overtaking influencers. It seems to me that most shortcomings of slop mentioned here are going to get overcome (under the assumption that money poured continues to be practically unlimited). Probably the one that is not mentioned here but is going to stay, is the lack of integrity across video cuts.

"The venue's first public event on Dec. 5 will feature local artists Chris Haise Band and Zach Pietrini, as well as Nashville-based alt-pop trio VEAUX. This event also serves as a fundraiser, with profits given back to local Milwaukee music programs, according to a Nov. 5 news release announcing the opening."
