Zuckerberg: The AI Slop Will Continue Until Morale Improves
"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.”
User A: write 1500 words around this idea i summed up in 1 sentence
User B: sum me up this 1500 word post into 1 sentence
The other day it was a person's birthday and on messenger on the "Highlights" tab a button appeared to wish them happy birthday with AI...
(Hoping I didnt miss any detail and doxxed myself)
you're fine Brian, nobody will know you live in Punxsutawney PA
if i'm uninspired i'd rather stick to a simple "hey happy birthday!", sending generated slop is just like buying a birthday card and not writing anything in it
sounds like the future of corporate email and interviews.
like adding bacteria to a petri dish
Weren’t they working on all this 3D immersive headset bullshit. Are they full on AI now too? Heavy sigh.
Facebook platforms are likely to follow the same trajectory as Fox News, and perhaps Zuckerberg can see that. The main site is obviously full of bullshit and practically useless for its original purpose, and it's also increasingly abandoned by core demographics because it doesn't have enough of their preferred flavor of bullshit. I've known MAGA guys who make a game out of creating secondary accounts to avoid Facebook jail. That sort of pathological use case is surely driving somebody's OKR numbers, someplace in the company. After that game stops being fun, some of these people will either decamp for other platforms or (gasp, shock, horror) give up on social media entirely!
Instagram has almost completely subsumed the "my favorite celebrity might reply back to me" appeal that Twitter used to have, although TikTok is also stealing a lot of that. If they lose that shine, Zuckerberg's in real trouble.
I haven't been near anybody Meta's platforms for a decade at least. Sounds like it is still a shit hole of "content" designer and curated to push consumption down peoples throats. No wonder it's still called a feed...
Stick to working on VR legs Zuck
tbh an AI generated feed is an improvement over the everyday natural intelligence slop from your racist uncle
why are you posting
