BBC has no South America correspondent left but keeps publishing AI slop daily
chalmermagne · x · 2026-10-17
A post mocks a BBC lifestyle piece ("I find it quite demoralising in store - why I do all my shopping online") as AI slop, pointing out the irony that Britain's public service broadcaster has no correspondent in South America due to budget cuts yet devotes daily resources to churning out such content. The post taps into broader criticism of AI-generated filler crowding out real journalism.
