They sell it to the investors that the ai will generate or spur engagement with the platform from “users” as well as help spur people to buy whatever garbage they are selling. No social media site functions any different. I don’t mourn tiktok as it plays the same game as the rest.
Ah. So basically you're paying meta now for bots to drive engagement up, instead of paying a third party who has bots to drive engagement. Smart for Meta.
I wonder if it will genuinely lead to sales for the ad buyers
The entire ad sector, including marketing, is a scam too. All they do is manipulate numbers to make it look like something is popular. It's literally fake value generation.
With AI nothing really changes, in fact it enhances the entire bullshit narrative.
And anyone working in that space will embrace any justification to keep their jobs. They would even fabricate some absurd shit like people's dead souls eating ads, which then creates incentives for their living relatives to buy shit.
This is a billion dollar industry, fake profiles and dead internet won't end it. They will do whatever it takes to use that to their advantage to increase budgets and make more profits.
Simply because those in charge don't understand anything about it. Plus they need it to be true.
It's way past application of science how to manipulate potential customers, it's all voodoo now.
