Infinite Slop

Infinite Slop is a 24/7 continuous AI-generated video livestream created by Pieter Levels. Users can connect and drive an endless, chaotic storyline using chat prompts. The stream utilizes fast video models hosted on fal.ai, such as the MiniMax model, to generate short clips in roughly nine seconds. Viewers type text prompts directly into the chat box, and the system attempts to link these disparate requests into a single, weird, and continuous broadcast.
It is horribly compelling and tragically wasteful.

The Vintage Artificial Intelligence Collection

“A curated collection of early computer software claiming some aspect of artificial intelligence as a primary feature, allowing the early interactions of humans and machines before things got a little strange. Includes a variety of programs intended as therapists, conversation partners, and opponents”. On Archive.org.

Generative AI has facilitated the emergence of an avalanche of weird and surrealist-adjacent imagery. These pictures and videos attract our attention precisely because of the strange and unexpected visions they bring to our daily media feed. But we’re going to get used to them really soon. I’d say it’s already happening. Having a specific taste for the genre, I follow several accounts that produce this kind of imagery, and my algorithm keeps showing me new related content on a daily basis. Recently, I came across a couple of accounts I really like, because I think they manage to create a very specific narrative and emotional universe that goes beyond the inevitable aesthetic standardization of the models.
Take a look at @napulensuonno and @vagabondiary. The first is an incredible dreamcore-style journey through the city of Naples. It’s like lucid dreaming through the narrow, noisy alleys of the city, encountering flying horses, floating apartments and dancing statues.  The second one is also very dreamlike, but centered on the kind of tenderness and overwhelming, passionate feelings that only adolescence can bring. Also, it gets me because my (rare) lucid dreams look exactly like that, with a lot of hugging and flying.

Patina Machine

The Patina Machine is an automated, agentic video essay pipeline created by Dutch artist Constant Dullaart. It functions as an autonomous system that continuously generates and publishes unique algorithmic video essays on a recurring cycle, exploring themes of machine authorship, prompt culture, and platform capitalism.

“The entire system operates as a continuous loop: generate, validate, publish, repeat. Conceptual Framework The essays explore themes of manufactured authenticity, simulated imperfection, and the commodification of trust in AI-mediated culture. Drawing on Barthes, Benjamin, Baudrillard, McLuhan, and contemporary media theory, they examine how the markers of “realness” are themselves becoming products of algorithmic design. The project itself embodies this tension: an automated system producing critical discourse about automation, generating arguments about authenticity through entirely artificial means.”

DIY vs AI videos

Generative AI is taking over every corner of the internet. All kinds of content are imitated, replicated, remixed, and reinvented through AI. An unstoppable avalanche of images, videos, and text is submerging us.
I’ve been observing a specific reaction to this phenomenon that’s incredibly interesting: people trying to “fight” AI by attempting to recreate its content with physical objects and practical effects. I first saw this trend emerge in the field of ASMR and satisfying videos, but now people are recreating all sorts of slop. This response is giving rise to a new subgenre: a kind of artisanal content that deliberately imitates the artificial but, in doing so, emphasizes human skill and brings the craft element to the next level.”

Some great examples below.

Slop Evader

Slop Evader, a browser extension for avoiding AI slop, by Tega Brain: “this is a search tool that will only return content created before ChatGPT’s first public release on November 30, 2022“.

Dream Recorder

The Dream Recorder AI is a device designed to transform fragmented dream recollections into replayable visual sequences: “Wake up, say your dream out loud, and watch it come to life as an ultra-low definition dreamscape“.

Stage 5 simulacra slop

“Faced with reality’s increasing obsoletion, from generative AI, to reality TV and faux authentic brands, POSTPOSTPOST (aka Al Hassan Elwan) applies Baudrillard’s 4 stages of Simulacra and dares to manifest what lies beyond, when meaning has all but collapsed”.

Macchine Adulatrici (Sycophantic Machine)

You know that flattering, annoying tone of ChatGPT? Marco Cadioli made a video about it. It’s called “Macchine Adulatrici (Sycophantic Machine)”. The audio is composed of all the phrases the model used to “guide” the author during the creation of the video itself. If you ask me, this is definitely the romantic hit of summer 2025.
