Creator Buys Up Every AI Slop Ad in Viral Stunt

Original: I Bought Every AI Slop Ad...

John Casterline says he bought every AI-generated 'slop' advertisement he could find, documenting the flood of low-effort, machine-made ads now targeting online shoppers. The stunt has drawn more than 1.7 million likes, with viewers reacting to how widespread AI advertising has become and how hard these ads can be to distinguish from real products and legitimate brands.

Why now: Frustration and curiosity about the explosion of AI-generated ads is peaking, and the stunt quantifies the problem in a shareable way.
