The world of AI continues to dominate and while that might be great news for the tech world, users are facing some unwanted repercussions.
Newsfeeds on Facebook keep getting bombarded with the most bizarre pictures made with AI. To help give you a better idea, imagine beautiful women with disproportionate anatomy or pictures of soldiers crying on the battlefield.
A lot is on display and it’s to users’ dismay. Highlights are now getting published on Twitter’s Insane Facebook AI Slop profile so you might want to refer there for better understanding.
Thanks to one tech expert at 404 Media who has tracked all of this down for months, we’re getting the latest insights on ‘trash’ content across Facebook.
See, creators coming from developing countries are making big and quick money by generating these AI pictures. All they use is the image creator found on Bing/Microsoft. The goal is to have the images posted across the app’s algorithm, making it go viral.
They get paid through the app’s Creator Bonus initiative and it’s appalling how the company is allowing so much to pass through without any check.
Meanwhile, advertising revenue from YouTube content tells us how bombarding the Facebook app with such content is beneficial.
The thought that the app’s algorithm is full of spam and it’s being allowed is mindblowing. Thanks to the arrival of AI, the matter is getting worse each day. There is even stolen content from Douyin as the chances of it being flagged for copyrights is little to none.
Last time we checked, Facebook did have a moderation system in place. But as per one worker who’s currently there, Meta fired so many of its workforce that the little who remain fail to cope with the growing demands. In other words, most of the moderation work is now being done by AI and tone deaf automated systems.
When Facebook was asked to comment on the issue, they told 404 Media how they always advise users to follow community standards. This means sharing high-quality content. The question is why the app still pays those who produce anything but that?
