When technology determines if your creativity is worthy or not, we have a problem

I shared this on my business Facebook account today because I am absolutely disgusted with AI and the push to integrate into everything we do.

I have another page on here where I share old movie and TV show content. About two weeks ago, Facebook told me they would not recommend that page or its content because its “technology” had determined my content was unoriginal.

I curate clips, write captions, create posts, etc. All by myself.

I don’t care that much if they recommend the age or not, but what upsets me is that the only thing I see on my feed for this page and my personal page now is AI slop. These are accounts that are 100 percent AI. They are making up information, creating fake images, and they are being recommended to me. That is what Facebook wants. Fake information, photos, and garbage.

Facebook doesn’t care what kind of engagement it gets…as long as it gets it and what’s really disgusting is they are pushing out actual human beings from interacting with other human beings about topics they enjoy.

If you don’t see a bigger issue at hand here, an attempt to separate and isolate humans as a way to have more control over them, then I really feel you should look a little closer at it all.

It is so scary and dystopian to be told “technology has determined that you..” anything.

Calling me unoriginal is fine, but telling me a piece of technology determined what I was or was not, is not.

  1. I’m so tired of seeing AI everywhere now, being used for the smallest things. I can’t say how many accounts and pages I have blocked that post 100% AI slop, and friends of mine keep sharing, even the images you still recognize it easily. And as long as people do that, there will be more and more of those.
    And on the other hand real artists of all kinds having to prove they don’t use it although they have been around for a long time. Not just Meta is doing it, I have seen examples on YouTube as well. I’m sorry you have to experience that, too.
