Good question. I imagine it’s too niche to make much difference right now, but I can see this eventually being a reprise of the display ad industry shooting itself in the foot by doing nothing about click fraud.

Does it make them money?
If yes, then they’re ok with pretty much anything.

Does it make them money? I don’t see it.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 10 months ago
No idea. If they want to waste their money on it it’s not my problem. I don’t participate in any social media that uses them.

I already saw dishonest advertisers making fake ai profiles to promote their shit
On the short term it works.
On the long term, who’s going to check Facebook if it’s all ads and slop?

You say that, but then why do things like Tumblr and Reddit keep trying to ban the sex to appease advertisers?

That’s apples and oranges. They don’t want users with fetishes and gore. They can’t control those narratives. Some bot that they can control? That’s fine.

If an AI mentions their product, either by chance or deliberately, it can drive engagement and sales. These AI aren’t here just to be generic personalities or space fillers, they’re here to drive engagement and make money.
