Appears to have replaced "fake news" as the go-to response

"The dog ate my homework"

Just blame the next thing down the chain that can't defend itself, so you don't have to take responsibility.

Crazy but my dog once ate half my homework.

Did you submit the other half? Which definitely would prove "dog ate my homework"

"If you put even half as much effort into homework, as you put into faking dog bite marks, ..."

My mother was a teacher, and she once had to go to school and tell her students our dog ate their homework.

So true. “AI slop” is the new “Fake news”

But there is copious amounts of AI slip on YouTube

freudian slop?

slip, slop, slap front and back[1]

EDIT: although I have to say the "front and back" actually came from another campaign[2]

I thought that was an Xzibit song

The issue is fake news is real and has somehow been co-opted by the perpetrators to attack any claim/media group that is critical of them or their actions. If you fact check these people they just scream “fake news” until their followers chant it with them.

Huh I guess it is comparable to “it was AI” lol

This comment has gone up and down like nothing I’ve ever commented before. Legitimately fascinating to watch. It’s gone from -1 back to 1 several times today.
