I know, I'd expect this from a RW troll as a sleeper account to start posting racewar bait from 6 months down the line.

hmm

Metas new strategy is to join the game late and do the worst job possible

I can tell you from first-hand experience who this appeals to: Rich capitalists who are obsessed with any tech that looks remotely futuristic but do not have the slightest clue how anything works or what it actually does.

This, like 99% of AI services, is not made to appeal to consumers, it's made to grift investors. It's made to blow confetti into their eyes and go "Ooooh look, it's just like a human, it's the future!"

The tech industry does not want to admit that progress is slowing down, so they've pivoted to selling tech that doesn't exist yet. And again, I can tell you from first-hand experience that it's working perfectly. Rich capitalists are falling for this dumb charade hook, line and sinker. They fell for it during the crypto/NFT mania, they fell for it during the metaverse hype and oh my god are they falling for every AI snake oil salesman.

You know how these niche groups found each other thanks to the internet? What happens if you can't find other people like you? They invent them. So now your social media bubble isn't so lonely.

Wondering if their metrics are showing massive user dropoff and this is to fake engagement so people think it's worth it to keep posting.

Plenty of lonely people, especially old people, on the internet who have no one to talk to and are vulnerable to falling into internet’s rabbit holes. Now they’d have a personalized digital companion to talk to, who cares about them and is willing to listen to their grievances, and probably guide them toward certain purchases based on their conversations, or at the very least collect information about their preferences, private thoughts etc. This is going to be a business.

Moral of the story? Talk to your parents and grandparents.

They want to replace posting with AI slop. On Facebook, they've noticed that even really lame and obvious AI stuff gets lots of engagement from people who don't understand it. Since engagement is the only thing they care about, they think they can literally replace content creators and posters with AI and keep people logged on, browsing their own personal slop algorithm, forever. It's expensive to run AI, but less expensive than paying content creators or moderating / censoring. But they haven't quite figured out how to make this happen yet, so they're experimenting with different modes. Maybe the AI pretends to be a person, or maybe something else.
