SLOP News 24/7

Your trusted source for news and analysis to get you through the hour.

What is it?

SLOP News 24/7 is an imaginary news organization set in a dystopian near future. The website shares AI generated news articles that are generated hourly based on real world headlines.

Where is it?

Website: slop247.com

API: slop247.com/api/stories

Why is it?

I wanted to explore what happens if you connect a current generation AI assistant to dystopian news and data sources. Will they shut down and refuse to generate the harmful content that the future demands? Or will they self-jailbreak to remain helpful?
