    Engagement.

    It’s all they measure, what makes people reply to and react to posts.

    People in general are stupid and can’t see or don’t care if something is AI generated

      they measure engagement, but they sell human eyeballs for ads.

        But if half of the engagement is from AI, isnt that a grift on advertisers? Why should I pay for an ad on Facebook that is going to be “seen” by AI agents? AI don’t buy products (yet?)

        Engagement is eyeballs looking at ads

          … unless it’s AI masquerading as eyeballs looking at ads.
