I think they might just let the disasters happen. The end picture looks less like a social network and more like billions of individual humans floating in their own personal fantasy worlds populated almost entirely with AI friends.

Status update: it took only a few minutes for the backlash to happen.

As users began to sniff out some of Meta’s AI accounts this week, the backlash grew, in part because of the way the AI accounts disingenuously described themselves as actual people with racial and sexual identities.

Oh, now they have bots that are into all sorts of spicy stuff. Pretty much what I expected.

The current LLMs hallucinations and horror themed pictures have been pretty entertaining already. Sounds like there could be good times ahead if Meta lets the AIs run wild. 🍿
