If you feel there's something weird about that cute cat video your aunt sent you, you may be right.

Mike Caulfield is an expert on image manipulation at the University of Washington.

He says AI video slop is everywhere.

We're being overrun by slop.

But Caulfield says a quick search online can help establish whether a video is real.

Comments by users can also provide clues.

Conversely, many accounts actually say they're producing AI-generated content if you just click the profile link to take a look.
