Meta, the company behind Instagram, is reportedly experimenting with artificial intelligence to generate comments on the platform. This development raises concerns about the authenticity of online interactions, suggesting users might opt for AI-generated responses instead of formulating their own thoughts. The author satirically envisions a future where social media is dominated by bots engaging with each other, a desolate digital landscape devoid of genuine human connection. This outsourcing of emotional labour to algorithms is presented as a potential catalyst for the decline of meaningful online presence. The piece paints a bleak picture of a post-human internet, a forgotten realm populated by digital remnants and the echoes of automated interactions. Ultimately, the author critiques this trend as a step towards a superficial and ultimately meaningless digital existence.
