Please do not give me shit for using Facebook. It’s how I keep in touch with relatives, most of whom live abroad, and my brother, who is has ASD prefers to communicate with me that way.
I would rather not use it, but I would prefer keeping in touch with my brother.
That said, I would not let AI keep in touch with my brother for me.
Soon social media will be entirely automated, requiring no human input!
But fr wtf is the point of this 💀
This would certainly fit under /ABoringDystopia
Social media going full throttle with dead internet theory.
I just hope they don’t come up with dead fediverse theory next.
The fediverse is alive and active, but unfortunately every single account is just an alt of The Picard Manouver.
As an alt of The Picard Manouver, I can attest to that.
Considering the quality of posts from the majority of people on FB, AI posts will make your feed much better.
My feed is highly curated so that I only see a handful of people I know in person who post things I care about and a couple of groups involving cartoonists I like and one about a TV show I like, all of which are 100% argument and drama-free. It makes it a far less unpleasant experience.
How do you even curate a fb feed. When I tried that I got an algorithm that shoved “recommended” posts down my throat that got worse the further down I scrolled. Not to mention looking for posts older than a day is a pain because they’re not chronological. AND the cherry on top is when you finally reach the place where that post might be and the page just decides to reload. Awful, awful user experience.
2018: It feels like everything on the Internet is bots now
2024: Facebook has an app that AI generates photos and writes posts for a vacation I’ve never been on
