MODERATORS
What the platforms know, but don't share very easily or at all, is how well established those accounts making the likes and comments are.
There was a time when the Facebook users count was starting to grow past the global human population...
The beer bottle for our beetle brains. These beautiful bots bemusing these bewildered boomers don't exist.

Also:
I’d love to do case studies on the real people at the end of these things.
Like, who is scrolling Facebook and Insta to thirst over algorithmic posts, yet is somehow unaware of the generative explosion?
Do they know, and just don’t care? Do they think they could tell if an image is fake, or is it true unawareness?
What do they do in real life? What are their relationships like?
How does this system work.
I think it’s easy to assume they’re all basement dwellers or whatever, but one could stereotype Lemmy the same way, and that’s just not true.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, such studies must exist. I don’t want to fall into the “I didn’t even try to search for the answer” thing.
But all this has happened so fast. And clearly the studies aren’t being acted on…

My dad listens to AI generated stories. I still don't know if he realizes they are Fictional AI stories, or if this is his way of killing time by this instead of listening to audio books. I guess audiobooks take commitment
so much that there is even a sub for "isthisAI, thirstrap" posts.
