The fake profile is one of many being tested on Instagram. Its bio bizarrely claims the robot is a "momma of 2" and "your realest source for life's ups and downs."
People are taking issue with the fact that the AI was black and queer, not that it wasn’t a real person in the first place. Once again, the right is angry at something that literally does not exist in real life.
Wait it’s the right that’s pissed? I was thinking it would be the left that’s pissed because they would consider this exploitation and astroturfing. Hmm, go figure. (I wasn’t going to read the article.) Maybe Facebook can piss everyone off with this really dumb idea.
The queer black mom AI is the one I keep seeing right-wing commentators putting on their thumbnails for their videos/articles. They’re putting more focus on the character rather than the tech, from what I’ve been seeing.
The problem imo is deception. I honestly think bots wouldn’t be out of place on facebook if they were all clearly marked as such, and you could filter all generated content with a single toggle.

So if it was a white, straight AI guy everything would be fine?
I don’t know, we must check its genitals first.
Sorry, that feature is blocked everywhere in the south.
If it’s too shy, you can check my genitals instead.
Prepare to be impressed.
Nobody would be able to tell if that was the case
No, people are taking issue with the fact that Meta is clearly trying to force a stereotype down our throats. At least i am.
The right probably IS pissed the AI was black and queer.
The AI being black queer mother of two just seems especially egregious. It’s like they’re just checking boxes with that stuff.
Some marketing parasites thought it will resonate with some people… Trigger others. It is provocative and it got people talking.
