A Highly Trafficked Space News Site Invented a Fake NASA Engineer and Used Her Name to Publish to AI-Generated Slop.

To save a click, the first paragraph gives the name and the reason:

The space publication Space Daily, which has been operating for over three decades, has become an unrecognizable shell of its former self after a company called Brown Brothers Media bought it and turned it into a content mill that pumps out misleading and badly sourced AI slop.

AI slop used to mean lazy articles. Now apparently it means inventing NASA engineers, giving them fake careers, and using their authority to mass produce nonsense for Google. The funniest part is that the fake experts may have had roughly the same editorial oversight as the real humans. The dead internet is getting HR departments.

Highly trafficked? Sounds like this site is getting a paid trip to Epstein island.
