Instagram will soon be full of at least partially AI-generated videos, as having a video changed by AI will soon only require a short description of the desired changes. Users are not happy about the prospect of even more AI content.
I’m all for corporations souring their dopamine pipes. Perhaps it may encourage the users to do something useful with their free time, maybe even pick up a book or two (said he, while scrolling Lemmy in bed).
I suspect they anticipate exponential increases in ML generated content creation quality and/or they expect that users will gobble up AI slop and it won’t effect medium/long term engagement growth.
I guess so, but engagement does not equal revenue, and the models are black boxes that are already falling apart. I have no idea where exponential improvement should come from - throwing more and more computational power into the maw can only get you so far.

Discworld isn’t gonna read itself.
