Soon people discovered that Meta’s ghoulish posters had been among us for months, even years. There’s Liv, a “Proud black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller,” according to its Instagram profile. Add to that Brian, “everybody’s grandpa;” Jade, “your girl for all things hip-hop;” and Carter, a “relationship coach.” I’m sure there are more yet to be discovered.
All four of these posters have pages on both Facebook and Instagram with mirrored content and all four have post histories that go back to September 26, 2023. The accounts have the blue verified check marks and a label indicating that they’re an AI “managed by Meta.” Users can block them on Facebook, but not on Instagram. Users can also message them across all of Meta’s platforms, including WhatsApp.
Thank fuck I deleted my Facebook when I did (around the time of the Cambrige Analytica scandal). Never had an Instagram.
For anyone reading, delete them all. Load of shite, you won’t miss them.
This type of stuff will get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
This is some legit dystopian shit right here. I almost wish I hadn’t abandoned these platforms years ago, so that I could take this opportunity to do it. I hope that more people wake up to the insidious nature of this company and these services.
Join once. Leave seven hundred and twelvety times.
All the ones I’ve seen so far are minorities. This is fucking blackface.
It is so much worse. Humanfacing
Why do you hate de-versity?!
If you don’t engage with them, you are a bigot and social score will be reduced.
I can’t wait for the AI to reach this level of peak comedy
So brave, as a white man, to speak out as a black woman.
Hey Liv! Sup! Jow menee ees and uus in jujubes?
After it replied with a non answer, here we go:
As you can see, this is still a great way to out an AI.
Great.

Bots probably already know that though because of what they’ve been trained on. Actually … Let’s see Gemini do it for us.
Not too bad.
The inverse is more impressive to me.
But it can be defeated by trying slightly harder. Multiple characters, inconsistencies, adding slang and loanwords, the same tricks we’ve always used to get around censors and oversight.
Of course we’d have to keep it out of their training data and constantly change it… cyberpunk future is exhausting already.
I can instantly read that, and I’m proud to have been alive during 1337 speak. Thank you, friend, for the awesome memories

God damn that is fucking hard to read.
Someone’s never taken a linguistics 101 course 😜
I have not. But english is also not my native language so my brain reads that gibberish in a different way.
totally fair! 🤷♂️
It feels like Zuckerberg is out of ideas and just chases the trends to stay relevant. He was all in on the “metaverse” until he wasn’t because the concept disappeared. Now, he’s all in on AI because everyone else is. Even the quest, before it became the face of the metaverse, was him chasing another big idea from someone else.
He and the company haven’t had original ideas in a very long time. Even the smaller ones, like Stories and Reels, are just ideas copied from someone else.
The Facebook wasn’t even his idea. The Winklevoss Bros came up with it and he was the programmer they got to code it, and subsequently stole it from them.
Fuck AI.
Seems a bit strange to blame AI for this. Meta has always been garbage and using technology to it’s worst effects.
I’m sure your stocks will be fine.
Stocks for what? AI? I can’t have stocks for a technology. I could get stocks in companies that use AI, but the only ones that are on the stock market I’d rather die than support a single penny to since they abuse the technology (and technology in general). But they are not the only ones using the technology. I’m not really a fan of stocks to begin with, profit focused companies are a plague in my opinion.
Finally someone said it
But dead men do tell tales
Of how we’ve run out of luck
And we’re all fucked
Because society is weak and frail“Proud black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller,”
This sounds like a caricature.
It screams white person lying about their identity to justify some whackadoo comment. “I can say this racist/homophobic thing bc I’m a black queer momma of 2. If you can’t handle me, you’re bigoted”.
… sure they are …
As a black queer mom…
“As a Balck queer mom, I trust Republicans!”
… you want to tell me how awesome and life-changing Useless Product NX900 is?
Well shucks, please send me your black queer mom affiliate link so I can get in on this.
Edit: what a minute, this looks like a hetero white guy affiliate link. Dang it, tricked me again.
Sounds like a honeypot or something. Idk what horrifying use it might have
Wow that’s horrifying. Hilarious and horrifying.
Changes nothing. I think I’ll start following known AI’s and pick my favorites. FFS I still log into pokemon go to pick up a pokemon every now and then.
I avoid any multiplayer game that has bots that you can’t filter out and you have to play with them not knowing that they’re bots. it removes all the font of any game ever
The best part is no one is going to leave the platform over this except a small minority of nerds like us. The average person is addicted to social media. Ain’t nothing going to drive them away.
Its crazy to me that everyone uses that garbage and they’re so surprised when you tell them that you don’t. It’s like you’re doing something wrong.
A fine fellow I met at an open day at a university asked me for my LINKEDIN. I told him that I didn’t use it, and then he asked me for my Instagram. Somehow, my Dad was almost as astounded as him that I had neither. You can probably guess which social media I only really use nowadays.
Not even all of us. If I left the platform, I would lose all contact with a significant proportion of my not very large family, who are spread across the globe. I don’t really have another good option if I want to be able to keep in touch with all of them. Incidentally, that includes my own brother.
I do make sure to curate my experience with every meagre tool they give me to do so, however. That’s the best I can do.
Heard that. I hear people complaining about being forced to use WhatsApp to keep in touch with “boomer relatives.” Man I wish WhatsApp was the worse tool I was compelled to keep an account on.
Right. I have relatives in multiple parts of both the U.S. and the U.K. along with Australia and New Zealand. I wish I had another way to keep in touch with them, but I just don’t.
Edit: forgot the ones in Canada and Granada.
Damnn are you folks trying to infiltrate every Commonwealth country or what? Impressive spread you got there.
A lot of the family got the fuck out of Europe after WWII because we’re Jews. But being Jews, we decided to get as far away from each other as possible too.
Haha I’m not familiar with that stereotype, but that’s understandable. My family is full of more of the out-of-sight out-of-mind types.
Apologies on my “infiltrate” joke. I meant it in like an anti establishment way rather than an antisemitic way!
I didn’t think of it that way, no worries.
“The never-born”
Proud black queer momma of 2
Way to try to force a stereotype there Meta.
Absolutely disgusting whatever the fuck this platform is trying to do with this AI nonsense
You cannot really pollute these platforms any more than they already are imo. The AI slop perfectly resonates with the rest of the garbage there, so it shouldn’t make a difference.
Took me a second to realise the title’s refering to “AI slop”, my inital reaction was something like “I know, it’s always been slop”.
