Facebook Deploying AI Bots to ‘Interact with Humans’ as Real User Numbers Fall

Facebook’s parent company Meta is now deploying bots powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to “interact with humans” on its social media platforms as the number is real users declines.

It feels like we’re only a couple of years removed from bots and fake accounts on social media being viewed as negatives.

Now that the industry can file them under the umbrella of artificial intelligence, we’re not only expected to accept them but interact with them as if they are real.

That’s at least the approach that Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is taking heading into the new year and it’s proudly admitting it.

Meta’s future plan is to fill Instagram and Facebook with AI characters complete with realistic profile photos and bios.

Mark Zuckerberg’s company is hoping to drive engagement with real humans on the platforms.

It will also be rolling out new AI products that allow users to create their own AI characters that will populate the social media sites as well.

The sole purpose of the endeavor, other than increasing user count, is to make the social media apps “more entertaining and engaging” for the real humans already on them, Meta claims.

That isn’t an opinion, either; it’s exactly what Connor Hayes, Meta’s VP of product for generative artificial intelligence, recently told the Financial Times.

“We expect these AIs to actually, over time, exist on our platforms, kind of in the same way accounts do,” Hayes explained.

“They’ll have bios and profile pictures and be able to generate and share content powered by AI on the platform… that’s where we see all of this going.”

However, user numbers on Facebook and Instagram have dwindled in recent years amid competition from popular rivals such as TikTok and Elon Musk’s X.

Meta’s flagship platform Facebook has become increasingly “uncool” among younger Internet users.

Facebook has become increasingly stale as many of its current users no longer log in or update their profiles, creating a ghost town-like experience for some of those who still use it.

The company has been in decline since it ramped up censorship efforts following President Donald Trump’s first election win in 2016.

Facebook hired left-wing “fact-checkers” to heavily censor conservatives.

However, the move ended up creating a left-wing echo chamber leaving large numbers of users to choose different platforms instead.

While the world of artificial intelligence may be a difficult one to even begin to comprehend, Meta’s approach certainly isn’t.

The company doesn’t believe interactions between actual humans are entertaining or engaging enough.

As a result, the company is rolling out AI users across its apps and even allowing people to create their own AI characters.

Meta is allowing people, many of which are grown adults, to turn imaginary friends into “real” ones.

These are the same people who will scream about the mental health issues they claim are plaguing mankind, yet they’re creating tools for you to create your own online society.

We’re all already completely addicted to social media.

However, addiction can take on a new life, and AI appears to be the gateway to it.
