A new example of Meta shithousery. This is a post of mine on Instagram (left). Click the dots top right and this advisory note appears (right). I never use ai, never will. Why would they do this? Who benefits? Are they just trying to make viewers think everything is genAI so they just accept it?

DON'T SHARE THIS, IT'S AI FABRICATED It's fake - the media outlet almost certainly used generative AI to write this and it pulled from a "parody" acct (instagram.com/p/DZu8trmR89Y/) The more you share this, the more you help the pro-AI bros say this is all fake youtube.com/live/ho_ZmwgvDdM
