Meta to spam own platforms with bots

Post by Tristan » Fri Jan 03, 2025 3:21 pm

What are Meta thinking with this? These posts/account are of an Meta created AI profile on instagram. Everything about it is fake, including the charity donations post.

Who actually wants this garbage?

It's perhaps a natural progression, from following the lives of people you'll never really meet and thus might as well be imaginary, to people who really are imaginary. And it's as creepy as f.ck. It's putting the radio on to keep your dog company when you go out, except now it's for you. This is your life now.

After the Butlerian Jihad has defeated the computers things will get back to normal.

[edit to add]Both those links appear to have vanished. Not sure if it's to do with my not having an account or if someone saw the reactions, said "yikes!" and pulled the plug. Nope. A private window gets the same not found error. Guess you imagined the whole thing.

Apparently they had been in existence for some time.
