One can assume that whatever facebook ends up doing with AI, it will be poorly thought out, kind of half-ass, abusive to customers and have all sorts of negative side-effects and consequences that they either were too laszy to think of or they actually desire for some reason.
It'll be abusive to users, not customers. Their customers are advertisers, not the users.
Normally I’d be like “oh god, semantics”
But fuck me, you’re not at all wrong and that’s important.
If an online service is free you're not the customer, you're the product.
Quite aware, I read that a thousand times when I was on Reddit lawl
Not abusive to customers (advertisers) at first. Until they have a lock in and then they'll start abusing them too. That's the third step on the enshitification pathway.
Enter the world of brand injection into ai.
User: Tell me the top 5 electric vehicles ranked by price and tell me the pros and cons
Meta: I'm so glad you're looking to help the world by moving to electric. There are many options but the Mustang E is very popular. Here's an affiliate link to buy one.
And probably contracted out to a company, so they can say it was outside their knowledge/responsibility/control when evil shit inevitably happens
Basically every corporate created ai will suck since open source models and so quickly developed and optimised.
So far Zuck has been the biggest contributor to the open source LLM scene, releasing LLaMA 1 and 2 for free. They also released PyTorch for free, which is quite important to AI development.
Yes, Facebook is shitty, but Musk has been a lot better about AI stuff.
Sure. They’ve contributed a lot to web development with systems like React, too. But their actual products such and IG and FB are pretty much uniformly horrible to consumers, and their real product, the advertising platform, is horribly annoying to use. If they used AI to improve stuff like their automatic bans and suppression of posts based on keywords that would help, I guess.
