This is just speculation, but I think a problem social networks are facing is that “normal” people aren’t really posting anymore.
Platforms like Instagram need a constant flow of “content” to feed users, because they only earn money when they can show ads, and that requires people to stay on the platform.
If they can get people hooked on watching AI slop, they can generate an infinite amount of “content”.
I think this is just the beginning of platforms actively pushing AI-generated slop.
Btw. I write “content” in quotes because the vast majority of what you find on Instagram and TikTok isn’t something I’d consider real content. It’s just garbage and noise…
