Meta plans to seed your feeds with AI-made posts

Meta's plan to generate synthetic content tailored to individual users opens a whole new Pandora's box in an artificial intelligence world already full of them. Generative AI has largely been used to create content at the behest of individual users, but now Facebook's parent company says it will proactively surface AI-generated posts based on users' interests. Meta said it will generate some images based on a user's interests and others that feature their likeness "so you can be the star of your own story and share your favorites with friends." The move is a logical next step for Meta, which has increasingly been using the Facebook feed to surface content its algorithm thinks you will like, often instead of posts shared by friends.
