Comment on Zuckerberg Brags About How Your Facebook, Instagram Posts Will Power His AI

I’ve been thinking lately about how someone could use AI to make a “social network” site that works just like Facebook, except the user is the only real person and everyone else is AI. The AI users would respond very favorably to everything you post, and all of your posts would go viral. It would be kind of like an AI girlfriend, except instead of providing companionship, it would make you feel like you’re famous and popular. (I doubt Facebook would want to be associated with a product like that, but I bet someone will make something like that eventually.)

Users would get bored quickly. The most engaging content on social media tends to be those posts that you disagree with or even anger you.
The real trick would be to sprinkle in about 40% controversy, 5% trolling and a healthy dash of nonsensical hate posting.
You need to give the user a tribe along with an opposition to defend the tribe against.

If it didn’t take so much electricity to do I’d support it (but not actually use it).

You could run those models all locally without much fuss. You don’t need an entire chatGPT model to simulate the banality of social media.

I yeah, sell it as offline/private social medial to the preppers. If we can make sure the algorithms gently steer people away from extremism over time and I think we could save the world.
