Read the following passage about the The Rise of AI-Generated Content in 2025 and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

In 2025, artificial intelligence became a wolf in sheep's clothing in our digital world. Kyle Chayka's New Yorker essay explained how AI-generated content, called "slop," changed from obviously fake images into believable creations. [I] These computer-made pictures and videos looked so real that ordinary people couldn't tell the difference anymore. Big technology companies improved their tools significantly, making it cheap and easy for anyone to create professional-looking content without special skills. This development worried many experts because false information could spread quickly online through social media platforms.

The article described several viral examples that clearly showed this growing problem. AI-made videos copying Studio Ghibli's animation style first entertained people, but later, someone used similar techniques for spreading propaganda. Google's video tool helped create impressive religious videos that seemed authentic, while fake animal trampoline clips tricked viewers because they looked like security camera footage. [II] These examples showed how easily AI could fool people. OpenAI's Sora platform made creating slop a fun hobby for many users, though this entertainment had serious risks—fake videos could hurt people's reputations even when made as jokes.

Politicians quickly discovered these powerful tools' potential for manipulation and influence. Some campaign advertisements used AI to create racist content that influenced voters' opinions. Important political figures regularly shared fake clips on social media to support their messages. Because making these videos costs almost nothing, anyone could flood the internet with convincing lies daily. [III] This situation threatened democracy since voters might make decisions based on completely false information rather than real facts.

Fortunately, people started fighting back against this dangerous technology trend. Audiences gradually learned to spot fake content by noticing too-perfect images and small technical errors. [IV] Customers hated it so much that the company had to remove it immediately from all platforms. This strong response showed that people were beginning to prefer genuine content over artificial perfection. The future depends on whether humans can stay ahead of constantly improving AI technology.
