We need a new word to describe AI content proliferating across the web

Why use a new word when 'crap' seems pretty accurate
Cud. Like how a cow will regurgitate partially digested food, chew it some more, and swallow it again for further digestion in its multiple stomachs.
DAIrrhea. Like verbal diarrhoea but potentially multimodal and generated by bots.
In honor of Leunig, I propose "gunk".
I'll just recommend more regular use of "terribad".
Heh, AI? You mean advertising right? It had gunked up the inet really well and good before AI got a chance.
Oceans filling up with microplastics and the Interwebs filling up with micromendacities.
It's clearly The Singularity.

The word "enshitification" already exists. AI producing content everywhere has become a subset of this term that already exists.
It isn't new. If you've ever read articles that use phrases that don't make any sense until you realize they are direct, but wrong, translations of words that were otherwise plagiarized, you've already seen it in action, even before ChatGPT et al came around to make it a quicker job.
Either way, treat everything on the web the way you were taught to use Wikipedia: check the sources. There is far more trash on the web than there is fact (or even factoid).
This is what everyone was worried about in the 90's when discussing the upcoming commercialization of 'the net.' Everything would be generated garbage meant to raise money for, and benefit someone other than the consumer. You would become the product.
Now that we're all the product, we're suddenly stuck wondering what to do to get back to the 90's again, when information wanted to be free. Today, misinformation and disinformation are free. And it's constant.

I like “bullshit” . In honor of Penn Jillette and Tellers eponymous TV series . Where I could totally expect them to do an episode on AI . If they were still making this show .
Penn talks about it here: https://www.cracked.com/article_40871_penn-jillette-wants-to...
I loved reading that . Thank you for the link . I wonder if I was down voted for swearing.
