Don't forget that Instagram is owned by Meta. They've admitted to making people up to get more engagement and rage bait.

Was curious and went looking. Is this what you're referencing? I'm not sure since it doesn't sound like they were made just to drum up outrage, they were just inherently shitty because they're AI users who suck at pretending to be people.

I can't find it anymore, but there was an AI they created that specifically was spouting Russian misinformation to drive engagement. People found it, watched it, and then found others. I'll keep looking.

These AI entities are designed to boost interactivity and engagement, aligning with Meta's push towards generative AI. While the innovation promises enhanced social media experiences, it also raises significant concerns over data privacy and the potential misuse of user-generated content for AI training. Join us as we explore the implications of this bold move by Meta
