They think this and other AI products they are rolling out will help attract and retain a younger audience

It's a pathetic and incredibly foolish reason to destroy the planet.
Who needs that?
Wow.
Where's the pearl clutching for the kids on this?
Why are we letting these creeps and freaks run the world?
100K+ have already been created, but creators have kept most of them private
Meta’s rules state that AI-generated content should be labeled on its platforms

What could possibly go wrong?
And why.
Fuck this theftware garbage.
Really fuckin impressive.
Bwahahahaha!
suckerberg passed by young years ago so I can’t see him knowing what appeals to younger people.
And when said fiction is a David Cage game, you know that shit is already pretty dumb.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

They think they’re tools to MANIPULATE a younger audience.
Well, then they won't miss me now that I've left.
Let some robot talk to another robot or whatever they imagine it's going to happen.
Because while that sentence is comprised of English words, it makes no semantic sense at all.
Makes it look as bad as shitty dating apps that lure people in with bot accounts trying to get them to upgrade their account.
Talk about out of touch.
but hey, I wouldn't know that. I'm not a shareholder
They will fail.

I'm all for having a "Real life" Cortana in my PC but we are far from that level of AI.
After they've spent years utterly breaking it so that it's barely worth using without mil-spec ad blocks and Brave Browser.
Even then you barely see anything from friends.
I certainly picked up on the shift over at the dead bird place once the Palestine genocide kicked off. Like the regime had it prepared already...
Hahahaha

like I mean yeah what Meta is planning to do is horrible.
If AI can move the same amount of content, then there's no need to pay people to post
Not just "ai accounts are ads" but also "look at how many accounts we have on our apps that will see your ads" for companies looking for ad space.
But as I type this it sounds pretty stupid.
Maybe increase engagement for people so they'll use the app more.
No seriously, for what purpose are they doing this?
I don't get it.
"Hey Dan, sorry you are getting ghosted by Suzy on FaceFuck. Whenever that happens to me, I get a slice and pint of brew at Tony's Pizzeria. Wow, it's just around the corner from you now. Here's a coupon."
- Jake, your AI bro
I never would have thought of that.
they have probably calculated that it is cheaper to operate ai than to pay influencers, and the ai is “good enough”
Instagram, I can see.
But I thought fb was still older people staying connected - huh.🤷♀️
Now I get it.
if Meta and Companies make AI influencers and they get huge, then they don't have to pay adsense or affiliate profit-share to ANYONE
Why would advertisers fall for this?
Meta: "We're gonna add tons of bots"
Do I need to put “not a bot” in my profile now?
why though
What a waste of resources.
This is “for” other human users imo, maybe because their platforms are dying and and they want to manipulate how the platform “feels” to make it feel artificially lively/fun
You know it's real fuckin bad with the user count when they even shamelessly admit to wanting to make inflating that thing even easier
That will be indistinguishable from normal users, able to more easily manipulate you into interacting with things, and screwing all analytics.
Oh well, I rarely spend time on their anyway, and it's mainly chatting with IRL friends, not wasting time with FB randos.
But FB is turning to shit. The guy in charge of community practise wrote part of project 2025. It's a hell site and will only get worse.
I concur that FB has been less and less appealing.
Imagine having the power over elections just by pushing a bot button to steer all public opinion and getting the politicians you want without spending a $ on lobbying.
2024 - we use the real life as an escape from the internet
Now it is going to be harder to spot fake bots that waste your time with meaniless interaction.
Now is going to be harder to spot fake bots who made you waste your time with mealiness interaction.
No, I'm serious, why?
I genuinely can't see what the draw here is, it's just noise that makes number nobody cares about go up.
That said, I have been struggling to maintain a presence on meta's platforms, so this will probably do it for me. The noise from randos was already overwhelming. This will make it unusable.
Meta claims that this is meant to attract a younger audience, but I’m highly skeptical of that. AI (generative AI especially) seems like something that even the kids don’t find cool.
I don’t want pretend friends!
I don’t have pretend conversations!
I don’t relish pretend likes.
You may have finally pushed me too far.
BTW, I am a real person who tries every f’n day to remain authentic.
If you have a page on FB, unless you pay them money they will minimize the posts' exposure to other people. You literally get free exposure for a few weeks, and then it starts "12 people saw your post. Pay $40 to get 1352 more".
Fake traffic for ads
It's like these corporations want to drive us off the internet with the AI bullshit.
Lord knows how you would make money selling ads to robots, but I'm no Facebook investor and I'm sure they've thought this through and aren't just pulling ideas out of their asses and hoping for gold instead of shit.
…
…but I’m sure it’ll be different this time 👍
Buy buy middle class.
I'm sorry, I don't know why I ask these stupid questions.
It works like this. AI makes a rage bait post that other bots look at to fake engagement, and push them onto feeds of real people. Serve up ads, but charge advertisers a premium so that the bots don't engage with ads, just people.
And that's the charitable possibility.
business stuff will be by email ⌨️
and, somebody - devise an alternative safe and non-irritating platform 🥺 to connect with like minded people you haven't yet met.
They spend billions learning how to most effectively and efficiently extract ad-revenue generated dollars from the herd.
Depends if they could restrain themselves just enough to not use the bot users to inflate the perceived effectiveness of ad spend, which they were seemingly kind of making up anyway if their estimated reach figures are anything to go by.
(And possibly also much more distrustful than they currently are of older generations.)
The AI "human centipede" as a Meta platform collapse.
this is like some weird corporate masturbation.
Took me 6 months to delete my content, since i was never shown all of it at once.
Deleting was easier once i realized that fb is just a fantasy of my past, not my actual past, and my family is still my family.
Try it, you'll love it.
Ta!
this is just basically another way of follow-bots to take over which has already been a thing.. they just dont know how to get rid of it so f- it add more Ai bots...what could possibly go wrong?
What an absolute waste of resources what the actual fuck!?! Ai-generated stuff need to stop and plus Ai-generated stuff it's just full of shit with shady snuff that feel someone's afterthought and Ai stuff just need to stop immediately.
