The mass adoption of generative AI has given rise to some bizarre waves of incomprehensible slop. <\/p>\n

There was the \u201cgood ending<\/a>,\u201d a glut of AI generated images depicting Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg as starcrossed lovers, which surfaced as their public feud threatened to turn violent<\/a>. Then of course there was \u201cShrimp Jesus<\/a>,\u201d followed closely by the \u201cbaby monk<\/a>,\u201d a disturbing series featuring babies clad in robes being eaten alive by fire ants.<\/p>\n

No doubt there are countless other inscrutable trends. But perhaps no gen AI fixation captures our current moment like the one currently swirling thanks to Meta AI, showing a saboteur <\/strong>purposefully crash through a glass-bottom bridge, sending swarms of innocent people careening to their deaths.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs that real? Glass bridge accident\u201d reads the caption on one video<\/a> which snagged over 130,000 views. Another posted from an account called \u201cLovely moment\u201d shows another <\/strong>woman<\/a> purposefully smash a glass panel before scampering off as the other panels give way like dominos.<\/p>\n

There are dozens of variations on this theme, usually showing an elderly white woman or a character with a heavily stereotyped racial identity smashing the bridge with a large rock. Each follows the same tried-and-true formula to churn out viral slop: a shocking action incites a panic, which ends only seconds later, either in horrible tragedy or in sentimental euphoria.<\/p>\n

One mockingly uploaded to X-formerly-Twitter<\/a> went viral, nabbing over 32 million views. It shows an older, heavy-set woman with a smile plastered on her face jumping backward and crashing through the glass floor, with an extended outro involving <\/strong>a golden retriever saving a drowning baby from the river below.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpened Facebook and Reels autoplayed. First reel had 57k likes and 12,000 comments,\u201d the poster said. \u201cComments were overwhelmingly impressed old people praising a dog\u2026 the AI slop has escaped containment.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the reel. I\u2019m not joking.<\/p>\n

While some of the videos uploaded to Facebook feature a disclaimer that the content was AI generated, the vast majority do not. And though a handful have seemingly managed to captivate thousands of viewers, many are posted to small, AI-heavy accounts, snagging only a few comments and reactions.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s really going on here?<\/p>\n

As many commentors have pointed out, the glass bridge slop, like its predecessors, is a telltale symptom of \u201cdead internet theory.\u201d Originating as a web forum conspiracy<\/a>, dead internet theory essentially claims that most of what we\u2019ve seen on the internet has been fake since at least 2016.<\/p>\n

While some more paranoid proponents believe that various shadow governments<\/a> might be behind the phenomenon, there is a kernel of truth to dead internet theory: that social media has been so utterly commodified<\/a> that content engagement takes priority over human connection.<\/p>\n

This was essentially confirmed in an anti-trust lawsuit<\/a> seeking to prove that Zuckerberg\u2019s Meta held an illegal monopoly over social media. In order to argue this was not the case \u2014 and avoid breaking up his billion-dollar corporate empire \u2014 Zuckerberg switched gears, painting Facebook as an \u201centertainment space\u201d rather than a social media platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe friend part has gone down quite a bit,\u201d Zuckerberg testified<\/a>, adding that Facebook\u2019s core purpose \u201cwasn\u2019t really to connect with friends anymore\u201d \u2014 a reality these glass bridge videos make abundantly clear.<\/p>\n
