Newsletter: Soulless Social


Listen Later

This week on the Konvoy Newsletter audio edition, host Jason Chapman dives into the rise of AI-generated social media—and the growing tension between creativity, attention, and authenticity. With Meta’s new Vibes platform and OpenAI’s Sora leading the charge, the next generation of short-form content is being created not by people, but by machines.

Jason explores how this shift could reshape everything from user engagement to mental health, and why AI’s integration into the attention economy may deepen the very challenges social platforms have struggled with for years.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • How Meta’s Vibes and OpenAI’s Sora are redefining the social media landscape
  • Why AI-generated content might amplify issues like burnout, misinformation, and loneliness
  • The economic incentives driving the race toward infinite, personalized feeds
  • What “soulless” AI content means for creativity and cultural connection
  • How deepfakes, likeness rights, and consent challenges are reshaping trust online
  • Why understanding AI’s role in attention-based business models is critical for the next decade
  • What this evolution means for founders, investors, and the broader digital ecosystem

Whether you’re investing in consumer platforms, studying the future of digital media, or just curious about where AI-driven creativity is heading, this episode breaks down the technologies, risks, and opportunities defining the next chapter of social media.
