those fake stories till I saw one posted on DU recently that was from Facebook, and saw the fake stories done with AI on YouTube. I just labeled them (and saw other people label them) slop. I did notice while googling that glurge is meant to suggest the sound of vomiting, though the Snopes page about it doesn't confirm that.

That YouTube channel is fake expertise, though. And while there's always been plenty of that on YouTube, it's much worse with AI.

404 Media has published a lot of articles on AI slop. I just googled to see if they'd used the term glurge, didn't see any instances, but did turn up a Verge article using the term glurge to refer to the AI slop in science journals.
