and, is the jury already in on which ai is most fuckable?

I'd tell you, but my area network appears to have already started blocking DeepSeek.

This doesn't have anything to do with encryption. They had a public database (anyone on the internet could query it) and forgot to put a password on it. It really shouldn't even be public.

Deleted my account a little while ago but for my feed I think it was higher. You couldn't block them fast enough, and mostly obviously AI pictures that if the comments are to be believed as being actual humans...people believed were real. It was a total nightmare land. I'm sad that I have now lost contact with the few distant friends I had on there but otherwise NOTHING lost.

Also… the tremendous irony here is Meta is screwing themselves over.

They've hedged their future on AI, and are smart enough to release the weights and fund open research, yet their advantage (a big captive dataset, aka Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp users) is completely overrun with slop that poisons it. It’s as laughable as Grok (X’s AI) being trained on Twitter.

Meta is probably screwed already. Their user base is not growing as before, maybe shrinking in some markets, and they need the padding to cover it up.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Very true.

But also so stupid because their user base is, what, a good fraction of the planet? How can they grow?

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

38% of the population as user. 20% daily active users. The classic way to grow is to squeeze the users and advertisers more and more with fees, subscriptions, tiers, ... I guess the exodus at X has them spooked of what could happen if they continue with that plan, so they're trying this AI thing.

Title says 40% of posts but the article says 40% of long-form posts yet doesn't in any way specify what counts as a long-form post. My understanding is that the vast majority of Facebook posts are about the lenght of a tweet so I doubt that the title is even remotely accurate.

Probably on par with the junk human users are posting

If you could reliably detect "AI" using an "AI" you could also use an "AI" to make posts that the other "AI" couldn't detect.

[-] xor 4 points 1 day ago

Sure, but then the generator AI is no longer optimised to generate whatever you wanted initially, but to generate text that fools the detector network, thus making the original generator worse at its intended job.

Anyone on Facebook deserves to be shit on by sloppy. They also deserve scanned out of all of the money and anything else.

If you’re on Facebook, you deserve this. Get the hell off Facebook.

While I agree with your message at a high level (I quit FB several years ago), I don't think it's productive to be so abrasive.

It's generally better to be respectful and convincing if you want to change minds.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Have you ever successfully berated a stranger into doing what you wanted them to do?

This is some Facebook quality content you're bringing to us here. It's so great seeing this kind of posts on my feed first thing in the morning. Shows that it's not just AI poisoning our social media platforms.
