Meta Launches Vibes, an Endless Feed of AI Slop for Your Viewing Displeasure (fb.com) 30

Meta has rolled out Vibes, an endless feed of AI-generated videos within its Meta AI app and meta.ai website. Users can create short-form synthetic videos from scratch or remix existing AI content from the feed, adding music and adjusting styles before redistributing the artificial output to Instagram, Facebook Stories and Reels. The feed promises to become "more personalized over time" as it learns user preferences for machine-generated content. Meta positioned the feature as part of its broader AI video strategy, adding another stream of synthetic media to platforms already saturated with algorithmic content. The company says additional AI creation tools are coming.

    All glory to the Hypnotoad.

    The Clockwork Orange was a story book, not a manual.
    • We've kept insisting on that for 1984, and *that* hasn't gotten us very far.
      Stand on Zanzibar is more on point anyways, I think.

    They have the right to put out whatever they wish.

    I have the right to view or ignore as I wish (at least for now).

    That said, I'm going to ignore this.

      Here's the thing.. There will be a quite substantial part of the population which will use it and degenerate their heads even further. Worst part? They have voting rights just like you and me, so we can expect even more clowns running the circus which in turn is going to make our lifes even more annoying and frustrating.
      • If someone just gets their info or whatever from something like that, they were a lost cause. Others might use it briefly to unwind, knowing its limits. If you wanted AI to make goats eating hay in a field with a sunset to have as a sort of fake fishbowl (something in the background), how could AI mess that up? Some things like that it (probably) does well no matter what. Unlike youtube it'll make endless variants if you want something a little different

          Where else would they get it? Journalism is dead, the Internet is full of bots, and most of these bots will get "AI" by the end of the year.

          It is a given that everyone will be getting their info from something like that, even me and you. What other options will be available and what will be the cost?

  • i for one am overjoyed that social media users are finally being listened to in regards to their request to view AI generated slop, what amazing shareholder return this will generate what a timeline

    Other AIs got that right.

  • I can think of no faster way to kill the word 'Vibe' than to associated it with annoying corporate nonsense. Go for it Meta! I'm counting on you.
  • Wow! Vibes is a great reason to run a huge AI farm consuming gigawatts electricity causing tons of CO2 to belch into our air. The pollution from AI ain't just in your news feed.

  • Robots.text prevented it from reading it but instead of reporting that, like ChatGPT, it just made things up.

      This was my first thought. People are already too addicted to short-form videos. At least that a little bit of a bottleneck of the amount/quality of content that can be produced. What's going to happen when algorithms are able to create exactly what the user wants to see, non-stop, forever?

      It's like those experiments where an animal is given a button that releases dopamine and all they have to do is push it, and they'll basically keep pressing it until they die from exhaustion, choosing it over things like

  • ...several oil drilling conglomerates have banded together for a trillion dollar youth development program through which they support water safety by dumping fracking mud into community swimming pools.

  • Can I support my jet-setting ways by auto-generating videos of people saying "ah-ah-ah-ah amadeus" and raking in the sweet ad revenue? No? Sorry, not interested.
  • BingGPT bans it, making it useless

  • I know a LOT of people that would love this.
    AND spread that sh1t to other platforms and swear they're real stuff, even fight you for that.

  • I really like the neutral writing style. Seriously, who let this post be published? "An endless feed of AI slop" is nothing one wants to read as news. You can comment in that way on X, but not on Slashdot.

  • Once again, the lovable handsome genius Zuckerberg leads the way. This will be a massive money-earner and Meta will dominate the field by spending the big money over however long it takes.

  • I have been whining to anyone who will listen (which isn't a lot of people) that Hallmark, or some similar production firm, will soon announce their 24 hour AI streaming channels, with multiple new movies daily, and new episodes of multiple series every day, catering to each special interest - holiday, hometown romance, etc.; it will be like the old days of soap operas, but even more addictive.
  • I'm waiting for some genius to train Meta's Vibes to auto-generate vagina labia, ala Georgia O'Keefe paintings. You know, endless videos of cunts.

Remember the good old days, when CPU was singular?
