Ask HN: What will happen to social media?

5 pointsby ghoshbishakh5 months ago
With the incoming AI agents, I am pretty sure social media teams will be run mostly by these LLM bots. I am already observing accounts replying to every post on my feed.<p>Soon social media is going to be filled with bots posting content, and other bots commenting, re-sharing, and upvoting content. Quora already has an &quot;Assistant&quot; answering each and every question.<p>I am sure I will not stick around to scroll through such AI generated content.<p>With image generation models, even instagram is not going to be spared it seems. However, I am optimistic that video still has time. Most popular video contents usually have a human element with some presenter or subject doing or saying something interesting which is still hard using gen AI.

Thank you for a legit insight about video. My guess is changing to micropayments, like you should pay 0.01$ or less to be able to write one comment, also the price could be higher for participating in controversial topics.

Perhaps we will return to meeting in real life. Physical presence probably has a few decades left before robots are indistinguishable from humans

Dead internet will soon be a reality with AI agent zombies flooding it!
