Here's what it said:

"AI hallucinations are specific falsehoods or nonexistent details created by an AI, while AI slop refers to the low-quality, repetitive, and unverified content generated by AI that floods the internet, often including hallucinations. Hallucinations are factual inaccuracies, whereas slop is a broader category of poor-quality output—which may or may not contain specific hallucinations—often produced at scale without human review to generate ad revenue or clicks."

This AI garbage is self-sustaining, and can result in increasingly less reliable information being put forth on the Internet as"fact". One AI's output becomes another AI's input, and the result is more generically known as GIGO.
That's short for Garbage In Garbage Out.
This has always been a problem with computers. AI just institutionalized it.
