mhoye“Meta abandons fact checking” and “Meta deploys fake AI-generated accounts to boost human engagement” were announced a countable number of hours apart, but for some reason people don’t think they’re the same story.
Oliver Jensen@mhoye can you imagine having to fact check the uncountable amount of AI slop generated at scale by those profiles?
Don Marti@mhoye don't forget "Meta provides a friendly environment for fraud"
(extra bots, crap, fraudulent ads all drive up the cost of Meta ads for the legit advertisers)

John Colagioia@mhoye Yep. I've always said that ad-funded social media is just the local TV news teasing "is your shampoo secretly killing you? Film at 11" magnified so that the little cliffhangers show up millions of times every day in hopes that it'll wear you down enough to pay attention to an ad.
