I almost reflexively downvoted this because the news pisses me off so much, before I stopped myself because it's unfair to shoot the messenger.

If you're someone who actually believes AI-generated content can be good, why is this even necessary‽ Surely the AI stuff will just naturally rise to the top on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. Is that not happening? I wonder why...

Gotta hand it to Meta though, that is actually a brilliant name for the product.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, but there's simply an "infinite" amount of ML slop, therefore it's easier to keep viewers longer.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But that's my point. Put the AI slop on YouTube. If it's actually good enough to effect greater viewer retention, it'll work and the algorithm will feed more of it than human-created content. No need for a specific platform.

This feels like management said "we have AI, we need to build more AI-based products, what've ya got?"

[–] sidebro@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

But there are boatloads of slop already on YouTube, and the algorithm doesn't care if you like or dislike it. People will put a dislike and a mean comment but the algorithm sees that as engagement and the slop wins.

They invested billions into AI. It has to work or they lose a lot of money and the shareholders shan't be pleased.

Imagine someone staring, smiling dumbly at an endless stream of fake kitten videos.

Truly a life without meaning

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Old people. Old people will. I've seen them do this in libraries and what they share on FB.

[–] Junkers_Klunker@feddit.dk 11 points 2 weeks ago

And children. They will too, at least until they’re old enough to see difference.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

I've seen, 'These are Ten Ways You Break Your Cats Heart When You Leave' and it's like an hour of sad cats looking up at the camera while the narrator describes normal work/life flow.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Why would I bother watching content nobody bothered making?

[–] tfm@piefed.europe.pub 21 points 2 weeks ago

Because you want to see those spicy AI ads in between the AI posts?

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Because your AI companions will want to talk about it tomorrow.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 45 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

so... if we're going to have AI-generated content, consumed by bots... and then that's going to be summarized with engagement metrics... why don't we cut out the middleman and just generate the metrics?

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Dead Internet theory

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

truer by the day

[–] ErmahgherdDavid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

It would cut down the number of LLM calls by over half and be far more eco friendly

[–] FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website 34 points 2 weeks ago

Great headline

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I am excited for this platform. It is the best way to show the last person that people don't want ai slop. Make it flop and every investor has to consider thia failure in their delusions.

[–] kadu@scribe.disroot.org 17 points 2 weeks ago

Zuck will do the same thing he's been doing on Facebook and Threads: fill the entire site with bots and count those as real accounts when talking to investors. Will artificially inflate the numbers.

[–] hushable@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

mmw they'll just merge that functionally into instagram eventually

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

And nothing will change.

[–] DevoidWisdom@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 weeks ago (16 children)

Has there been any good consumer Ai products yet? I keep seeing all these products in search of a problem.

[–] Qwel@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Better text to speech and speech to text, automatic image descriptions, better translations.

ChatGPT and the likes can also be used to access content without ads nor license

Also you can write the letters "AI" on a paper and rich people will give you money. They'll want it back eventually but hey

[–] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 weeks ago

They can ai deez nutz

Coderabbit for PR reviews at work has both impressed me and made me aggregated by how incorrect some of the comments are. It's like, it's caught bugs that i would have missed even when looking very closely but also makes the same suggestions to over complicate chunks or suggestions that literally don't work. Such as assuming the db schema when looking at a query and saying "that's not what the column is called".

So, that's best I've experienced really, basically a PR check that's able to find some really out there bugs but a lot of comments need to be ignored.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah you need to review the PR review instead lol

Zuck wants this because presumably his synth brain can't tell the difference.

[–] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No one asked for Linux. No one asked for IRC. No one asked for email. These are all things that nerds made up and got adopted because they were useful.

I just think it's the stupidest thing to say: "...that no one asked for." It's such a dumb trope.

That being said, I think "Vibes" is even stupider.

[–] tfm@piefed.europe.pub 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No one asked for Linux. No one asked for IRC. No one asked for email.

But people would have asked for these things at some point. Those are not stupid af.

Nobody, except some Meta execs, would have ever asked for a feed with AI slop.

[–] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 weeks ago

I guarantee you I can find you 100 million people that would ask for it, if they had half a braincell to think it up.

[–] sonofearth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I asked for a free OS and Gnu/Linux was there when I asked for it. But LITERALLY no one asked for AI generated reels platform other than Metaholes in the company.

[–] raker@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

More brainrot.

Stop using populat social media.

This is really gonna be big in ~~the Metaverse~~ Horizon Worlds.

[–] fantasyocean@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hear me out, I wouldn't mind if Google did the same thing with YouTube. That way all the ai slop would be in one feed I can ignore and I can just go back to watching gunpla build videos on autoplay.

The attempt at co-opting AAVE is so pathetic and yet so on brand for fuckerberg and his sycophants.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Alternativeto does articles now?

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

For the longest time

[–] BluePea@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Great, ipad kids will now be able to watch ai generated slop on a dedicated environment...
