In reply to the discussion: I saw this post on Facebook today from a person I have friended because he is a friend of good friends of mine. [View all]highplainsdem
(61,175 posts)a man freezing and in great physical danger to drive across town to put groceries away, who's still portrayed as caring next to what would have had to be at least dozens of psychopathically uncaring people ignoring that man and just driving around him?
It never happened. It was written or vomited out by AI to get clicks and likes on social media.
The real tell here was the supposedly caring person driving off to put groceries away, and finding when they got back that the man was still there. That was added to make it soooo much more affecting, because other people were supposedly so uncaring.
There are hundreds if not thousands of AI slop versions of stories like this all over YouTube. All clickbait. A lot about celebrities acting heroically in tear-jerking situations. That kind of garbage is all over Facebook, too, whether text stories or videos. A lot originates with content farms overseas that can make money off these fake stories.
