Financial Times claims that Meta (Facebook) is planning to fill its social networks with "official" AI bots — fake people will have profile pictures, they will share photos, make posts, and engage with others.

According to their testing, average users no longer able to determine who are bot anyway.

Which means, “dead internet theory” is no longer a theory! And foil-hat people were right again.

According to Google Trends, related searches like “how to delete all photos facebook,” “alternative to facebook,” “how to quit facebook,” “how to delete threads account,” and “how to delete instagram account without logging in” have become breakout searches, with popularity suddenly increasing by over 5,000% compared to previous periods.

The explosive growth underscores a recoil against Meta’s decision to roll back protections against hateful speech and inflammatory political content.

Previously they shocked public with intentions to make AI driven accounts that will interact with real people to boost activity. And blamed users for it — real people no longer want to interact with others on Facebook.
