Recently, Meta has started testing a new feature that will insert AI-generated content based on user interests and current trends into the feeds of Facebook and Instagram.
Meta states that these AI-generated images will be tailored to each user's preferences. Users can click on suggested prompts to guide the content in new directions. More interestingly, users can simply swipe the screen to have AI create more personalized content in real-time.
As a significant part of Meta's push for AI development, the company has also added voice capabilities to its Meta AI assistant. This means users can not only ask questions related to photos but also edit photos and automatically translate content in Reels videos. These updates show Meta's emphasis on AI technology, with data showing that 400 million people use Meta AI monthly, including 185 million weekly users.
Meta's goal is to make its AI assistant the most widely used globally by the end of the year. With the introduction of this feature, Meta may hope to increase advertising revenue by enhancing user interaction experiences. By observing the performance differences between AI-generated content and human-created content, Meta can assess the effectiveness of this new feature.
However, the latter part of the article mentions a thought-provoking analogy, likening this situation to the movie "The Matrix," where machines provide humans with false images, while humans become sources of energy.
Although this comparison may be extreme, it indeed sparks thoughts about the future of social media and AI-driven interactions. Users can certainly choose how much time to spend on these platforms, but the companies behind them also need to set rules and follow them.
