I wonder if their product people get their ideas from Hacker News. Just the other day, a top thread comment was about an idea for a social network where you would receive tons of engagement from bots. Coincidentally (or not), Meta actually took a first step in that direction days later.

Big tech would never ship anything that fast.
Sorry for breaking the fantasy, but this is from TFA:

> The company had first introduced these AI-powered profiles in September 2023 but killed off most of them by summer 2024.

Also, they're deleting these profiles, which is a step away, not towards that idea. Although they're apparently leaving in some feature to make your own AI-profiles.

Wasn’t that a comment about an article regarding the use of AI by Meta?
