Slopwatch: Anti-Linux Machine-Generated FUD (LLM Slop) From GBHackers, CybersecurityNews, and Guardian Digital, Inc (Google News Promotes Slop Plagiarism, Misinformation)
ANOTHER day, another avalanche of LLM slop. Let's focus on LLM slop that tarnishes the name of Linux and creates/accentuates false stigmas.
Consider the following fake 'article':
It's LLM slop:
Also in a site (slopfarm) that seems connected to the above [1, 2]: (both are in Google News despite being 100% slop)

LLM slop, as usual:

The Web is getting really bad. Companies that lie try to drown out the signal with falsehoods, hoping that some people will read those falsehoods and pass them on, too (verbally or otherwise).
A strict stance against LLM slop is needed. Collective action would help.
LLMs are often painted in the media (or LLM slop pretending to be media) as an amazing scientific advancement, whereas in practice LLMs help crush scientific advancement by curbing quality. █
