Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With Slop (gizmodo.com)

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.

“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 ...

... 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
