Seriously though, I find it so difficult to understand why the largest website in the world can’t see that a new account whose only post is ‘daddy, I lonely tonight and need a strong man for company, DM me’ might be worthy of a temporary activity pause?
One of the most fascinating things about generative AI is the businesses and states that are using it are largely doing “we’ve sped up this lengthy process”, whereas the tech companies’ largely seem to be going “we made this thing you like worse”.
I mean, it seems self evident it can. What I can’t figure out is what’s in the pron bots for them? But I’m guessing they’re a byproduct of other processes (or lack thereof.)
At the most banal, teams target metrics and it may be easier for everyone involved to not ask too many questions about how well their metrics track "real" engagement. On the business-side there won't be any incentive to deal with the problem until it impacts the advertising bottom line.
