#AISlop via #Blogger com: #fake #blogs!
It's happened twice today: I receive a follower request from a blogger. Everything looks harmless, environmental topics, which suits me. I just notice that the blogger advertises their blog a little too often, always using the same sloppy words. At first glance, this also looks harmless; behind the URL is a blogger.com blog.
But how can a new blog have so many ads?
The blog articles are very long and fishy: written in an eternally cycling style, with

🧵 lots of links to ads or other long articles. The "texts" don't tell something new, they only want to provoke clicks, they are not really about environment, only clippings stolen from the internet (oh nowadays techbros speak of training). Pure AISlop, LLM crap!
Digging for the blogger, I find a marketing company and a "marketer" trained by "Digital marketing by IAB Europe – Google Digital Workshops."
Any questions?
Blogger com is infected by AI slop and bloggers are not always writing humans.🤮
