I keep banging the drum about AI slop, but this story from Jason Koebler at 404 Media is especially good .It gives a good overview of the ecosystem: not just that this stuff is all over the place, but where it is coming from, who is making it, what tools they're using, how they're training and supporting each other, and what features of the Facebook ecosystem mean that it will continue ad nauseam.
