WIRED published a video in which a historian and demonology professor fact-checks false information about witchcraft circulating online. The video focuses on AI-generated misinformation—what the creator calls "AI slop"—that has proliferated across social media feeds, potentially misleading audiences about historical witchcraft and related topics.
The segment frames the problem as one of accuracy and public understanding: as AI-generated content becomes cheaper and easier to produce at scale, false claims spread faster than corrections.
