YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Bizarre videos, uncanny photos, and Luigi Mangoine's likeness on Shein...? AI slop is taking over the web. It's putting money in people's pockets, and driving them offline, too.

This is AI + U. Each Monday this month, Brittany is exploring how you are already seeing the impacts of AI. Artificial Intelligence has become a constant in ways we can and can't see...and for the next few weeks we're zeroing in on how AI affects our daily lives.

Brittany chats with Washington Post tech reporter Drew Harwell () and freelance writer Emma Marris () about the limits of AI creativity and what this 'slop' is doing to us on and offline.
