Disturbing AI Food Slop Is Strangling the Internet

Uncategorized

Women crashing through glass bridges. Cat parents grinding their children into mincemeat. Poor people rioting in Walmart. Whichever way you look, the internet is clearly drowning in AI slop — and the tide just keeps coming in.

The latest AI slop fad strangling the web is a series of videos with a bizarre fixation on traumatized food. In keeping with the grand tradition of AI garbage, the premise is incredibly unhinged: families of anthropomorphized food, often styled as spaghetti, are plucked, chopped, boiled, or fried, screaming in agony as they’re prepared for some heartless human’s meal.

Recently uploaded vertical videos on TikTok and Instagram show dozens of variations on the theme, some with tens of thousands of views, others with millions.

“My tiny little noodles, my sweet girls, don’t look down,” a momma pasta sobs in one clip on TikTok. “Mommy, the air is burning, I’m scared,” one of the baby bundles cries. “I don’t wanna fall.”

The spaghetti is then submerged, graphically, into the boiling water, before being dressed up in red sauce. “My wife, my daughters… where are you my love,” a masculine spaghetti bunch weeps from the kitchen counter.

There’s no doubt the clips are meant to disturb — and that’s exactly what they’re doing. “I gotta get the f**k off of tiktok,” one poster declared, alongside a similar video, on X-formerly-Twitter.

On Instagram, the “spaghetti family” prompts have degenerated even further into short reels depicting humanoid babies made up of succulent pasta strands. Some sob when prodded by a fork, others are straight up devoured.

“Thought it was just spaghetti… then it cried,” reads the caption on one video with over 400,000 likes. “Ure paying for my therapist,” a user commented.

Other clips don’t even bother rendering a proper baby. One AI video simply captioned “dinner” depicts an unsettling cat-human creature quivering on a countertop, before puking an endless strand of pasta-bile. Commenters were similarly displeased: “Bro all I wanted was dinner ideas,” one complained.

What fresh horrors the AI slop farmers will cook up next week is impossible to say, but rest assured it’s coming for your feed, whether you want it to or not.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
