Late night thought on a Saturday. Wouldn’t it be ironic if AI slop and bots end up taking down public social media because the only ones left will be the bots talking to each other?
And the billionaires’ cash cows dry up because real people depart for other, private places like Discord and group chats?
All the tech companies pushing for AI everywhere, not realizing they’re salting their own fields…
The power of AI, especially generative AI, could be deployed for so much good, but instead we get AI Influencers on Instagram that no one asked for.
Using Microsoft Phi-4, the super lightweight model running locally on my MacBook, I was able to build a content scoring prompt and system in less than 10 minutes that successfully evaluated hate speech examples allowed under Meta’s new guidelines. Every social network COULD deploy a lightweight model like this that could at least flag things for human review very quickly with good accuracy.
Companies like Meta, therefore, CHOOSE not to, devoting those computational resources to slop instead.
Make your plans now for a future where your social networking is out of the public eye, in private places where people in your circle of trust provide the support and connection you crave.
And if you’re a marketer, prepare for a future where public social media is no longer a driver of any kind of business.
