AI is on social media. We have AI effectors, AI content and AI accounts – and now, it seems that we can also get AI comments on the Instagram post. Now what is any of us doing this?
The researcher of the app Jonah Manzano shared a post on Threads and a video on TikTok, showing how some Instagram users now notice a pencil with a star icon in their commentary field, allowing them to post AI-borne comments under the post and video.
“Write with Meta AI,” Says the tool, with two subdivisions: “How to use this tool” and “how it works.”
Under “How to use this tool,”, it says, “get a caption suggested based on the photo shared by you. You can always edit suggestions or try again.”
And under “How it works,” it claims, “Meta AI can analyze photos including facial features to help you write.”
The video shared by Manzano in the video on TikTok, there are three comments options: “Cute living room setup!” “Here’s love to casual vibe,” and “gray cap is very good.” Unfortunately, all three are clearly computer-borne slopes and take a unstable human interaction under a rung.
It is difficult to know why you want to remove the human element from every aspect of social media, but Instagram is going to try it anyway.
