Originality.AI looked at 8,885 long Facebook posts made over the past six years.
Key Findings
- 41.18% of current Facebook long-form posts are Likely AI, as of November 2024.
- Between 2023 and November 2024, the average percentage of monthly AI posts on Facebook was 24.05%.
- This reflects a 4.3x increase in monthly AI Facebook content since the launch of ChatGPT. In comparison, the monthly average was 5.34% from 2018 to 2022.
In the last month it has become a barrage. The algorithms also seem to be in overdrive. If I like something I get bombarded with more stuff like that within a day. I’d say 90% of my feed is shit that has nothing to do with anyone I know.
If it wasn’t a way to stay in touch with family and friends I’d bail.
A friend told me he saw 16 posts before he saw a post from a friend or page he’d liked.
I’m not surprised. And of those 16 posts how many of them made him mad? Since that seems like the entire purpose of FB anymore. Anger drives engagement. It’s why rage bait works so well. I highly recommend everyone disconnect from Facebook for this reason. Hell Reddit was even going down that path before we all left.
SocialFixer would help.
I’m a big fan of a particularly virtual table-top tool called Foundry, which I use to host D&D games.
The Instagram algorithm picked this out of my cookies and fed it to Temu, which determined I must really like… lathing and spot-wielding and shit. So I keep getting ads for miniature industrial equipment. At-home tools for die casting and alloying and the like. From Temu! Absolutely crazy.
I made the mistake of clicking like on an Indian machine shop (I admired how they made do with crude conditions). Well now I get bombarded with not just those videos but Mexican welding shops, Pakistani auto repair places…
