Culture AI Slop YouTube Channels Are Telling AI Slop Google About AI Slop Motorcycles That Don't Exist - Google, the company once known for finding accurate results as fast as possible, now relies on AI that has no concept of "truth" to feed you false information.

Earlier today, I was talking about V4 engines in motorcycles, and I made a quick Google search: "Motorcycle V4 engines 2025." I was just looking to confirm what I already knew, that the Aprilia RSV4 and Ducati Panigale V4 are the only production sportbikes to use that engine layout, but Google informed me of something else: A revived Yamaha VMAX, currently for sale in the year of our lord 2025.

This is, of course, not true. Yamaha hasn't made the VMAX since 2020, and as far as anyone can tell there are no plans to bring it back. So where did Google get the idea that this bike was currently on the market? Well, luckily, the AI credits its source: An AI-generated, AI-voiced video on an all-AI YouTube channel, using nonsensical AI imagery to claim a new VMAX is on the way. The snake is eating its own AI-generated tail.

The internet is getting fundamentally broken

The cited video is from a channel called Bike Culture Hub — a channel I will not be linking — which has a very rote program for its videos. There's some AI-generated still imagery of an imagined bike overlaid with an AI voice that lists off facts and figured about the motorcycle. The stats are nonsensical, the voice often gets things as simple as the name of the motorcycle wrong, and — it cannot be emphasized enough — none of the motorcycles it discusses are real. On the occasion the channel discusses a current motorcycle, it'll talk about model-year updates that a generative AI has hallucinated.

To any observer who knows the first thing about the bikes in question — or bikes in general — anything on these AI-generated YouTube channels is clear garbage with no bearing on reality. But Google, the company once known for finding accurate results as fast as possible, now relies on an AI that has no concept of "truth" — just repeating words it sees used in proximity to each other, like your phone keyboard's autocomplete or a particularly dumb parrot. As this AI tech improves in its ability to mimic reality, while still remaining fundamentally incapable of differentiating fact from fiction, channels like Bike Culture Hub will only get more convincing. Our human ability to locate facts online will be compromised, and "people at dealerships asking for features that don't exist" is about the best possible outcome. It could get far worse from there.

AI slop getting more and more invasive. Daily reminder to triple-check every piece of info you see and read.

Their wealth is quite dependent on enough people having enough money to be able to buy the things they are selling. Firing all of the humans sounds great on paper for profit increase, but once one removes the ability of most people to make (enough) money, then it creates hardship and prioritizing of basic needs over wants. If far fewer people find work, then even the stuff that they claim will be cheaper due to automation and AI will become expensive. During the Great Depression many ordinary things became unaffordable simply because many people had no jobs.

This has always been the hole in the plan I've wondered about too....... how are you going to stay in business as a maker of consumer goods when you've eliminated all the consumers?

Not an economics person but I guess this is where the push to globalize into developing nations that haven't had their workforce replaced yet comes in. Until they start getting paid more then it costs to deploy AI.

Own large swaths of land, change laws so that company towns are legal again and then Neo feudalism becomes the way of life. Your consumers now work directly for you.

This is a nice, practical example of LLMs lobotomizing themselves.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer company.

This. The more AI slip that's fed into LLMs, the shittier they become.

Once a LLM is "poisoned", it's essentially useless trash

I prefer hand crafted slop motorcycle content like yammienoob

Is that fucking retard still posting?

Remember, he's the retard who drove headfirst into and oncoming car and tried to SUE THE CAR DRIVER even though Yammie-tard was 100% at fault.

He later moved to North DFW (shockingly close to where I used to live ) and loved off his family's cash whole making more stupid and reckless motorcycle content.

Who knew that in the fight of survival of human vs AI we just needed to feed the machine its own slop back and watch it kill itself.

Who's that Pokémon? This is simple evolutionary barrier. The models that can overcome this get to prove they're not just artificially intelligent, but real smart, too!

 

[neverendingmidi]

All we need now are A.I. slop journalists reporting on this and A.I. slop shitposters mocking them.

Have you seen ost of the shit on any clickbait site? Hell, that bit published in the WSJ (I think, or was it NYT?), that listed summer reading books that didn't exist?

 

[ZeCommissar]

Some historytube creators are already bringing this up.

Some liberal is going to unironically put an AI based "we wuz kangz" AI slop image of black kweens and kangs building every single pyramid and put it in the history textbooks saying this is how it actually happened.

I actually never considered how fucked its going to be teaching children about history in the future wading through the mass of AI slop images.

There's also the issue of what happens when AI needs to be profitable, will it actually be cheaper then having a person do the work? Most companies are basing these changes on what it costs right now, with huge money being handed out to get people into the product - with no idea what it's going to cost to run these billion dollar NVIDIA chip farms. There's a 0% chance that AI companies are going to get to a point where they're saving customers billions in labor costs and not decide "we want 75% of that now or we shut down your business".

Look at how bad NVIDIA is fucking the graphics card market and then thinking they won't gouge the AI Chip market the second they get the chance to.

lol. once again technology serves as an unflattering reflection of its creators. the insipid troon

Crazy how its often fake women who take offense with fake things made by AI

Own large swaths of land, change laws so that company towns are legal again and then Neo feudalism becomes the way of life. Your consumers now work directly for you.

But even the company towns of old had to pay their workers something in order for their employees to be able to buy anything. These companies today want to get out of paying even these people as much as possible, which is the problem.

And even if they ship products over to developing countries, that means they are still highly dependant on people being able to earn money working jobs that pay, but now they must spend millions or billions to ensure stable regimes that don't try to genocide their population or wage war on them, and court a population that has a lower quality of life, far lower wages, and often frequent outbreaks of disease, war and famine.

Well, I must say I'm disappointed that the VMAX isn't coming back.

Generative AI used for web search is nothing more than search engine powered by an unreliable narrator. GIGO in action.

There's no actual way out of that tailspin in the system we're in. A CEO going "actually we're not going to fire all our staff because then nobody will buy all our products" is not making line go up next quarter and will be replaced by someone who will. Consumers can just be employed by hypothetical competitors but it's not the job of our stocks company to do anything other than make line go up.
You'd need to do something like ban companies replacing jobs with AI, but that would never happen, because AI is the future and banning it here just means foreign companies get line go up more than domestic ones.

They think everyone thinks like them, that most people are excited for a sterile Tron world run by machines and AI where most of the population is connected to the internet and AI via implants, and assume a lot of people want this and are excited for it.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.

That poem is potentially supposed to be ironic, but the tech utopians do seem to read it as sincere.

But even the company towns of old had to pay their workers something in order for their employees to be able to buy anything. These companies today want to get out of paying even these people as much as possible, which is the problem.

The point is, company towns did NOT pay in “legal tender”, i.e. government issued money that was accepted everywhere. They paid in “company script” that was only able to be used at the company’s own store, which would set prices to whatever kept the workers barely able to scratch by, and even if they saved up their money, it would be worthless if they left that job. It was why the companies would also provide housing… if you were fired, or quit, or died on the job, you and/or your family was kicked out immediately, leaving you with worthless “money” (because you no longer worked for the company and therefore had no right to use the company store) and no home to start over with.

C’mon, techbros are salivating over the thought of this.

But Google, the company once known for finding accurate results as fast as possible,

Yeah, 15 years ago. And it wasn’t AI slop that destroyed that, it was Google destroying its own product in order to promote leftist censorship/ideas and sell top results to the highest bidder. Is fake motorbikes any worse than dangerous motorbikes made in India and sold for the cheap being the first 5 results followed by article after article about how black people are the ones who really invented motorbike culture and wytpipo just stole it?

The current Indian CEO of Google was responsible for maximizing ad revenue at the expense of search quality. The Jeet spares no shitting street.
