Okay so Youtube started recommending these videos in a genre called “HFY” or “Humanity Fuck Yeah” which, as far as I can tell, involves AI narrators reading AI-generated stories over slideshows of AI-generated images and the stories are all military sci-fi where humans are the bestest warriors the galaxy has ever seen and kill stupid evil caricature aliens 1000:1. Once in a while there’s a story where an alien race does a massacre to humans which gives the humans an excuse to gloriously commit righteous genocide
Why is this a thing
Who asked for it
Who’s watching it
Lmao. There’s something absurd and existentially horrifying about slop machines coming not just for real jobs, but also the kind of cringe fanfic/OC slop people post for fun as a hobby.
“back in my day we used to write cringe fanfics all on our own! We didn’t use AI, or any nonsense like that! I just wrote some cheesy isekai and published it on Wattpad for all to see!”
