"I have a hard time seeing the contemporary model of social media continuing to exist under the weight of #LLMs and their capacity to mass-produce false information or information that optimizes these social network dynamics. We already see a lot of actors—based on this monetization of platforms like X—that are using AI to produce content that just seeks to maximize attention. So misinformation, often highly polarized information as AI models become more powerful, that content is going to take over. I have a hard time seeing the conventional social media models surviving that."

Now, this may be crazy talk, but hear me out: maybe, just maybe don't go looking for advice on feeding your children from #SocialMedia. Just saying.

Watchout for that scam ad starring #ai generated video of #martinlewis in an interview on #ThisMorning about #faircroftCorebit #cryptoscam
It's just a big scam.
As Martin says - don't believe adverts on #socialmedia featuring celebrities.
