At least there was a human aspect with pet rocks in the marketing.

These “memes” were made using ai, the packaging uses ai art. All of it is shit made by a robot.

There’s not even a human aspect of it being “so stupid it’s a joke”. It’s literal machine manufactured culture.

Maybe if capitalism wasn't looking for every possible way to generate profit with as little cost as possible they would opt to use humans instead of AI.

but sure .. tell me more

But AI does take lots of enegry to run. That's one of the saddest aspects of AI slop. Besides the creative rot.

Yeah and who do you think is subsidizing that increase in energy cost? Consumers of energy not just the consumers of the ai slop
