"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.”

    Funny, the first thing I do when I recognize that something is AI-generated media, I make an effort never to visit that site/channel/feed/whatever ever again.

    Every change and addition made to Facebook since it first started has been for the worse. This manchild is a monster who’s irresponsibility has literally caused genocides in Africa.

    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…

      I know that’s probably a generic insult, but he kinda does look like beaker from the Muppets.

    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,

    Good to know that they really have thought it through. Reminds me of the kind of user story our project manager writes.

      Keep in mind that in quarterly financial statements, any forward-looking promises made are pretty much legally binding so CEOs never give specifics.

    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.

    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.

    The goal has always been engagement prisons. Where people never leave the platform. With generated content this must seem like a final step. They don’t need to make people to interact with each other in ways that keeps both of them engaged. They don’t need to leech content from other sites while preventing people from going to the site. With generated content people will interact with themselves while engaged in completely fabricated content. It’s even more dystopian than ever.
