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

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 metaverse a resounding failure, Facebook has latched on to the AI hype train in hopes of making the company relevant. They’re basically put of ideas on how to feed the beast of “forever growth” the markets demand.

    I think I’m with him on this one. Replacing all the people on social with AI agents would give us back so much free time! And we could even restart socializing for real.

    Go on Zuckerberg, give us a Facebook made only of AI agents creating fake pictures of inexistent gatherings and posting them, so other AIs can recommend them and million of other AIs can comment on them!

    You are an unsung hero, Zuckerberg, but one day they’ll understand and thank you

      Genuinely curious how long you could continue getting people to sink advertising dollars into the bot playground. If he played it smart I bet he could get a solid decade or so of people paying to show ads to AIs without telling them all the people are gone. Maybe longer, if he’s really smart and actually tells them for real that there’s no people in there but that their marketing materials will be incorporated into the AI in/output.

      I setup 2FA on Facebook using one of those USB keys ages ago. I tried to login again recently but it tells me to use an authenticator app which I never configured, and when I try to use the USB key it blinks at me. I know the key works because I use it for other things. When I looked into logging in somehow else it brought up some crazy page telling me I’d have to send my license to Facebook or some such shit. Oh well, guess it’s a dead profile now.

    It’s probably to nullify the incentive to use external LLMs, thus marking everything generated on the platform by the platform as such and also meaning Zuck can regulate what can actually be generated controlling the flow of LLM-gen content. If you put it that way, it doesn’t sound that senseless.

      It might also be an attempt to fence in AI-generated content in its own feed, so that doesn’t infest everything else as much, which doesn’t seem that unreasonable either.

    This man is a Muppet. He just wants to exploit the people who live in this world and use his services for profits. What a legacy to leave behind…

    He won’t get me. I deleted Facebook over a decade ago. The writing was all over the walls, everyone…

    Am i mistaken or did he regress to a typical CEO type, from the way he can’t put together one single sentence without stumbling over another one?

      Statements made in quarterly financial calls are a very particular level of legally binding, so CEOs sound like that because they are terrified of making promises that won’t be kept.
