Iran war: We spoke to the man making Lego-style AI videos that experts say are powerful propaganda
www.bbc.com
"Slopaganda" is too weak a term to capture how powerful this "highly sophisticated" content is, one expert says.

      Wow that’s… kinda fire. Ngl.

      I’m not a big fan of the IRGC, but that’s a banger of a diss track.

        Damn, that’s no exaggeration, I wasn’t prepared for the quality of that.

        I’m going to have the hook “your government is run by pedophiles, they ordered you to die for Israel” stuck in my head for a while. Those are not words I ever expected would be catchy lyrics, but here we are.

      You said you like losers, well look at your team

      I wonder if AI made the lyrics too. Some of it is - too good.

        The lyrics are so good I’m leaning towards them being written by a real human and then just fed into AI

        I kind of assume the same with the imagery too. It’s slop but I gotta admit that it’s quality slop

          Some human effort went into this for sure. But I keep forgetting that everything AI produces is essentially stolen human effort.

          The editing is tight, but when you look closer at some scenes you see typical AI bs.
