"I think we’re going to add a whole new category of content, which is AI generated."

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/21495118

In a quarterly earnings call that was overwhelmingly about AI and Meta’s plans for it, Zuckerberg said that new, AI-generated feeds are likely to come to Facebook and other Meta platforms. Zuckerberg said he is excited for the “opportunity for AI to help people create content that just makes people’s feed experiences better.” Zuckerberg’s comments were first reported by Fortune.

“I think we’re going to add a whole new category of content, which is AI generated or AI summarized content or kind of existing content pulled together by AI in some way,” he said. “And I think that that’s going to be just very exciting for the—for Facebook and Instagram and maybe Threads or other kind of Feed experiences over time.”

      The other day it was a person’s birthday and on messenger on the “Highlights” tab a button appeared to wish them happy birthday with AI…

        we had a poster here a while back that had an experience (a friend of theirs did a low-effort “happy birthday” prompt to send to them), but it looks like the thread is gone because they’re moving their account

        extremely fucking oof that it’s a one-click button next to the input

        you’re fine Brian, nobody will know you live in Punxsutawney PA

        if i’m uninspired i’d rather stick to a simple “hey happy birthday!”, sending generated slop is just like buying a birthday card and not writing anything in it

    I haven’t been near anybody Meta’s platforms for a decade at least. Sounds like it is still a shit hole of “content” designer and curated to push consumption down peoples throats. No wonder it’s still called a feed…

    Facebook platforms are likely to follow the same trajectory as Fox News, and perhaps Zuckerberg can see that. The main site is obviously full of bullshit and practically useless for its original purpose, and it’s also increasingly abandoned by core demographics because it doesn’t have enough of their preferred flavor of bullshit. I’ve known MAGA guys who make a game out of creating secondary accounts to avoid Facebook jail. That sort of pathological use case is surely driving somebody’s OKR numbers, someplace in the company. After that game stops being fun, some of these people will either decamp for other platforms or (gasp, shock, horror) give up on social media entirely!

    Instagram has almost completely subsumed the “my favorite celebrity might reply back to me” appeal that Twitter used to have, although TikTok is also stealing a lot of that. If they lose that shine, Zuckerberg’s in real trouble.

    tbh an AI generated feed is an improvement over the everyday natural intelligence slop from your racist uncle
