    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?

    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.
