Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With Slop (gizmodo.com)

Soon people discovered that Meta’s ghoulish posters had been among us for months, even years. There’s Liv, a “Proud black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller,” according to its Instagram profile. Add to that Brian, “everybody’s grandpa;” Jade, “your girl for all things hip-hop;” and Carter, a “relationship coach.” I’m sure there are more yet to be discovered.

All four of these posters have pages on both Facebook and Instagram with mirrored content and all four have post histories that go back to September 26, 2023. The accounts have the blue verified check marks and a label indicating that they’re an AI “managed by Meta.” Users can block them on Facebook, but not on Instagram. Users can also message them across all of Meta’s platforms, including WhatsApp.

Couldn't care less. I don't use FB or Instagram.

But dead men do tell tales
Of how we've run out of luck
And we're all fucked
Because society is weak and frail

I avoid any multiplayer game that has bots that you can't filter out and you have to play with them not knowing that they're bots. it removes all the font of any game ever

Changes nothing. I think I'll start following known AI's and pick my favorites. FFS I still log into pokemon go to pick up a pokemon every now and then.
