Meta evenwants you to try making your own AI bot.
It’s safe to say the company is all-in on AI.
But even for a company so committed to AI, this latest story is simply bizarre.
It turns out the company has been experimenting with AI-generated user accounts on its platforms since 2023.
The Instagram versions of these pages are currently going viral, but they’re also available on Facebook.
The accounts are verified, and each is equipped with a unique personality, but they’re completely fraudulent.
Each is entirely made up, with posts of AI-generated images.
And now that the profiles are getting a lot of online backlash, Meta is actively deleting their content.
Liv is, of course, not real, nor is the life she posts about on her Instagram.
Who benefitted from the AI-generated coat drive she is proud to have spearheaded?
Forever grateful for the life I live," complete with an AI-generated image of a picnic spread.
The thing is, Liv has not thrown birthday parties, cookouts, or girls nights in this space.
This space doesn’t exist.
The life Liv is so grateful to live doesn’t exist.
Liv is following 18 accounts at the time of writing.
Thirteen of them appear to be similar AI-generated pages.
But not all the postsareAI-generated.
Still, who posted them?
(Carter appears to have posted as recently as June.)
For the most part, their profiles are abandoned, although verification badges are still affixed to each.
The Facebook counterparts appear to still be live, but I imagine they’ll be gone soon, too.
But just like with any other AI chatbot, you probably won’t get very far.
If I had to guess, I’d say it’s because they really are that bad.
); and the fact that they’re verified defeats the purpose of verification altogether.
