Clickbait and 'AI slop' distort memory of Holocaust

As the world marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Tuesday, experts warn that such content -- whether produced as clickbait for commercial gain, or for political motives -- threatens efforts to preserve the memory of Nazi crimes. AFP's Fact Check team has noted a surge of such imagery on social networks, distorting the history of Nazi Germany's murder of six million European Jews during World War II. Among the AI-generated images that have gone viral is one of a little girl with curly hair on a tricycle.
