The Facebook grifters making money off AI Holocaust victims

ѿý Trending unravels how content creators in Pakistan are exploiting Meta payment models to profit from AI generated Holocaust victims on Facebook, the so-called ‘AI slop’.

In Early June, the Auschwitz Memorial posted a warning about AI-generated Holocaust victims flooding Facebook.

ѿý Trending has since tracked several accounts pushing these false narratives and other pages posting so-called ‘AI slop’.
