Factually! with Adam Conover24 Sep 2025

Will A.I. Slop Replace the Internet? with Jason Koebler

A.I. slop is competing for space all across the web, and it’s starting to edge out actual human creators. The internet, once rife with possibility, is rapidly turning into a depressing wasteland of mind numbing garbage. Despite the massive volume of brain-waste being sludged out every day, there are still some brilliant human minds trying to turn the tides of the battle. 404media is a worker-owned tech journalism outlet, and they use their real human minds to investigate and report on stories—everything from surveillance, to AI, to cyber security, to hacking, to sex. Joining Adam today is Jason Koebler, one of 404’s reporters and founders, to talk about the bizarre details of the A.I. slop economy and what we can do to fight back.
