Meta made its own AI-generated clickbait news feed

Article excerpt

Meta's standalone AI app now includes a "For You" feed that generates clickbait-style news articles entirely through artificial intelligence, topics, images, and text all machine-made. The move represents an ironic turn for a company whose platforms have long struggled with user-generated clickbait; now Meta is automating the problem. The AI-generated content is predictably rough, including bizarre images like duplicate Queen Elizabeths, raising questions about what Meta thinks users actually want from news feeds.
