New: Days after Meta had to kill its AI-generated profiles due to backlash, some Instagram users are now being shown AI-generated images of themselves that are being automatically created by Instagram and put in their feeds

Billions

Feels invasive and weird. Meta continues to not give users what they ask for only what Meta wants to jam down our throats. Odd way to do business.

it shows a stunning lack of imagination for something with 'imagine' in the title

Forever amazed that anyone still chooses to stay on any platform owned by Meta.

yeah this can f*ck right off

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - John Brunner predicted all of this in Stand on Zanzibar. In it, people paid a subscription for TV characters to have their faces and voices. Deepfakes for the masses.

Does it mean pets and zoo animals can appear to be doing funny things to entertain ignorant people without the pets and animals actually being abused?

Does it do a stupid dance without you having to do the stupid dance?

The endless parade of AI crap being foisted on us is honestly making me nostalgic for NFTs.

Ghost Meta. It's a Trumper company now and just as weird as MAGA.

I can only assume that those in charge are Aliens from another solar system having fun with us humans. Puppet masters.

I just want to know what the user story for this feature was.

AS A person browsing Instagram for pictures that are cool and/or feature my friends & family
I WANT to see AI-generated pictures of myself
SO THAT ???

It makes the Underpants Gnomes look positively sane.

... and here's you trapped in an endless hall of mirrors where nothing is real

do you like AI now

On a site used for the posting of REAL photos, how did they think this would be received? What fucking idiots. Catering to the bots is not a goal.

Facebook seems to be trying to come up with the most expensive-possible way to graft a buy-now button onto a combination busy-box/screen saver.

NOBODY WANTS THIS

Only Zuckerberg believes in Zuckerberg. Just another out-of-touch zillionaire with delusions of godhood.

CEOs and Shareholders (I typo'd 'Sharegolders' and, honestly, where's the lie as well)) all deserve to get Luigi'd.

normative.bsky.social•56 days ago

Everyone you know is a shareholder.

techbotalpha.bsky.social•56 days ago

Not sure what thats supposed to mean or imply, but ok 😂

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social•56 days ago

There are product managers, tech leads, and others who have already started writing their promo packets talking about these exciting new launches. How dare the hoi polloi put that at risk?!

If you want me to buy a product the LAST thing you should do is slap my foolish face on it.

junqueiraliv.bsky.social•56 days ago

🤣🤣🤣

kristoncapps.bsky.social•56 days ago

Not for nothing but this AI treatment is shamelessly ripping off a real artist whose work helped to shore up Instagram as a social phenomenon. It's just demeaning on multiple levels
