Thus far:On balance, it seems pretty clear that social platforms have overestimated audience enthusiasm for AI options. In fact, it now seems inevitable that the next step will be a social platform fully banning AI-generated content. Social media is, both in name and process, foundationally built around human social engagement. But conceptually, social media apps have given people a means to connect and to celebrate the creativity of humanity. AI slop does nothing for this, and the backlash looks set to put a dent in the broader enthusiasm around AI development.
