    AI is super expensive to run, yet these companies do EVERYTHING to make sure we are using it all the time - Microsoft is bundling it on every native app. They also openly admit they’re not able to make it profitable even when considering the people paying expensive subscriptions to use it.

    So isn’t this contradiction suspicious? What’s really the reason behind making sure we will use AI even when we didn’t ask for it?

    They want to make us used to see AI images and start to think they are cool at exposure.

    Doordash is abusing AI similarly by adding product descriptions generated by AI if there isn’t one. It includes things like ingredient lists, cooking styles, and quantitative descriptions that can all be entirely wrong. Gonna be fun when relying on the AI description causes an allergic reaction and serious injury or death.

      My wife just hit similar, Google AI result invented a dish that didn’t actually exist for a local restaurant. She was half ready to go until she went to the actual menu and figured out the described food didn’t exist.

    It feels like every CEO on earth thinks they need to adopt AI or fall behind, but they have no idea what to use AI for so they’re just ramming it into use cases that no one asked for.

      Your not wromg. The investors class want ai because that is what they belive will be the future. If the ceos don’t add then the investors pull out. Even when most feedback is negative, even woth ai companies saying they don’t have a path to profitability

      I’m in tech, and yeah, while we actually do have a couple helpful (nothing revolutionary, just smoothes over some of the drudge work) use cases for Gen AI, we identified those use cases pretty quick and leadership’s been grasping for more ever since.

      This is hardly the first, and definitely not the last corporate fad. We should have just about finished moving everything to the block chain by now.

        just regular spoiled and power-mad shmucks

        FTFY. To call them “regular” belies the fact that suffusion of money and the power over the wellbeing of others has, universally, rotted their humanity from the inside out, making it impossible for them to even imagine — let alone successfully predict — what a “regular” shmuck would consider a reasonable use-case for AI.

    That definitely needs to be a lawsuit against facebook/meta for the damage caused to the brand they’re forcing ai slop onto.

      Was at a whisky&rum fair a couple weeks ago. A bunch of brands had very AI looking designs on the bottles.

      And that included Bottles of whisky that cost 200+ bucks.

      I mean, who doesn’t associate the name “whisky” with “woman in spacesuit tentacle porn” and “sexy woman santa”?

    You can tell that AI is a great technology by how much it’s being forced into as many places as possible by the ones trying to sell it.

    Not necessarily dead internet theory, but I hate how everything seems to be AI generated nowadays. In the past when you search for something you are likely to find an article or a post about it, now it is just AI generated slop.

    I am just surprised people are still on Facebook. I deleted my account more than 10 years ago. Every other meta platform seems more popular like Instagram and Whatsapp.

    Facebook and AI…make it make sense.

    Now you’ve got Facebook making AI posts and images. And you can click on a post and it’ll give you suggested AI-generated responses. Soon Facebook won’t need us humans at all, it’ll just be AIs interacting with each other.

    What’s the business plan for Meta with that strategy? You can’t sell ads to AIs, I assume…How do they plan to make money?
