That sums it up well. The theme of the post is the surge in using AI generated avatars (digital twins) in china, and the point is that it reflects the growing problem that Chinese face in finding work and income in a declining economy. The video on Internet Slop is interesting, thanks Rian.
Thanks for the question Eric. I can say that many are fly by night offered by rank amateurs looking to make a buck - one analysts experience with the offferings is here https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/5T0X92WXmxUYlbZ1x7q8VQ. Not to say that there aren't good ones. Typical offerrings are tutorials and online classes on the practical use of AIGC in business, AI drawing for marketing, an overview of chatGPT and AIGC developments, practical prompts for the Midjourney and so on. Searching for the term "AIGC" in Amazon's book department reveals all the items on the first few pages are from China. My point is the tremendous growth of AI-generated digital avatars in live-streaming in China as people seek work in a country where it is drying up at a rapid rate.
So... they are using AI to make money by using AI to create courses about how to use AI to make money... sounds about right.
I recently watched a short Youtube documentary about all these AI slop images appearing all over Facebook and other platforms, and it's the same thing.
There are guys who create these images and post them all over facebook. They then sell courses teaching others to do the same thing - how to make money by generating and posting AI-generated content.

It's an interesting watch: https://youtu.be/Cedj8AKI2U8?si=645eIAT18wFh39nh
What is the quality of the books, tutorials and classes Gary?
