Instagram

Many are still convinced that Instagram listens to the microphone. The app of the app has wanted to set the subject

by

In a meeting between friends you talk about making a weekend getaway, rural houses and whether it is worth renting a car. Hours later, when Instagram opens, ads appear for travel agencies, car rental portals and route recommendations. The feeling that The mobile “hears us” It is installed easily. In this context, Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, published a video to disassemble that myth and explain why we see ads that seem to guess our conversations. Meta has almost a decade denying sharply that their applications access the microphone without permission, but doubts never disappear at all. Now the discussion returns to the front line because The company has announced thatas of December, conversations with their artificial intelligence assistant will also be part of the customization of ads and recommendations (this change will not apply, at least for now, in the European Union). The denial and this novelty have communicated almost at the same time, which adds a striking nuance to the message. Mosseri says they don’t listen to us, while finishing another key novelty The closeness between both communications did not go unnoticed. Instagram head chosen a personal tone, even light, but at the same time he wanted cut the suspicion that the application listens to its users. He presented that statement as a starting point on which to build his explanation. His words were clear and it is worth reproducing them in full: “We do not listen to you. We do not use the microphone of the phone to spy on. If we did, it would be a serious violation of privacy. In addition, we would exhaust the battery of the device and noticed it, and you would even see a small light in the upper part of the screen that would tell you that the microphone is on.” For Mosseri, what seems to really be the effect of four quite common situations. One possibility is that before talking about a topic and lor we have sought without remembering it. Another is that someone in our environment has done it and the platform takes it as a indication. It can also happen that the announcement has appeared before and we did not pay attention, but that it later sneaks into the conversation. And the simplest explanation of all remains: it is a mere coincidence. “I want to reiterate that we do not listen to your microphone. I know that some of you are not going to believe me no matter how much I try to explain, but I wanted to make things clear. I am sure that the comments in this publication will be a bit intense. We see you soon. Paz.” It was not the first time that the company was trying to settle the suspicion. In 2016, Facebook said that did not use the phone’s microphone to guide ads or to change what appears in the Feed. Two years later, in an appearance before the United States Senate, Mark Zuckerberg was asked directly on the subject and rSponge With a “no” just as sharp. Years later, Meta support website itself included A document on the same line. Click to watch the video on Instagram Doubts about possible listening also led the academic community to test it. In 2017, a group of researchers from Northeastern University analyzed more than 17,000 Android applications, including those of Facebook, to check if they activated the microphone without the user knowing. After months of evidence, They found no evidence What happened. They did observe other data collection behaviors, but do not listen undercover. The authors themselves clarified, yes, that there were scenarios that were left out of their study. Beyond the studies, there is a technical aspect that should be remembered. In current mobiles, both in iOS and Android, any application that wants to use the microphone You need explicit user permission. In addition, when an actor appears active on the screen (a color point or a warning in the upper bar) that immediately points it. These notices, together with the extra battery consumption that would involve permanent listening, make it difficult to hide an undercover use of the microphone without the user noticed. The persistence of this myth is better understood if the context is observed. The directed advertising is so precise and so difficult to decipher for the average user that it is easier to attribute it to a microphone on than to an invisible data network. Our memory also influences. To this is added the history of mattress controversies in privacy.

15 years later, Instagram arrives at the iPad. He does it with news that make differences to the mobile version

by

Instagram and the iPhone have always gone hand in hand. The first version of the social network landed on Apple’s mobile In October 2010marking the beginning of a relationship that soon became iconic. Android users, meanwhile, They had to wait until April 2012 To be able to join the experience. The iPad, on the other hand, was out of the equation from the beginning. When Instagram reached the market, Apple’s tablet had already been available for half a yearbut never received an application designed for its screen. They have spent almost 15 years without that changing. Until now: This Wednesday the company has finally taken the step. The official Instagram application for iPad is now available Instagram has finally premiered an app designed for iPad, something that many users had time to ask. It is not a simple adaptation: the interface has been rethink for Take advantage of the big screenimproving access to messages and notifications, which can now be seen simultaneously. Even when reproducing Reels Comments can be expanded while watching the video full screen. The change is noticed as soon as the app. Stories are still visible at the top, reels can be seen in a big way and the tab Following It is divided into three views to better organize content: All: recommended publications and reels of all accounts in a row Friends: Accounts that follow the user and those that this also follows The latest: Chronologically ordered publications, prioritizing the most recent The messages also gain prominence: you can consult the entrance tray while a conversation is followed, and the system to read comments in Reels allows you not to lose detail of the video. Instagram has adapted its app to the most advanced functions of iPados. There is support for multitasking and floating windows in Ipados 26 (Available in Beta and that should arrive generally next week), full screen mode both vertically and horizontally and keyboard, trackpad and Apple Pencil compatibility. The application is now available in the App Store for any iPad with ipados 15.1 or higher. If you had the iPhone version installed, just update it: A second app will not appearbut the existing will automatically adopt this new specific design for tablets. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, He had admitted That the number of users interested in an app for iPad was never large enough to justify development. That excuse is already part of the past: Instagram finally has an official presence on Apple’s big screens.

that you never leave Facebook and Instagram

Meta is not like the other great technological ones that bet on AI. His strategy has been different, and we have seen it with the introduction of Goal AI On Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp. This chatbot already allows you to start a conversation and ask things to AI inside these platforms, but the thing has not stayed there. Now the company has gone further with the introduction of the “chats of AI”that allow any user to believe their own custom chatbot and share it so that any user can use it. Thus, those who use these social networks can create their own chatbot or choose to talk with any of those already created. Testing the Meta’s Chats In Xataka we have been able to try them both on Facebook Messenger, and the process is simple. It is enough to open and then click on the menu (three horizontal stripes in the lower left), which will give us the option of going to the so -called “Ai Studio chats”. There we can navigate the chatbos available, classified in groups such as “popular”, “pop culture” or “anime”. It is there that the different chatbots appear with their names and the number of messages that have been shared globally with them. Names can be generic as inspired by people, purpose – “English teacher”, “tarot” – or fictional characters – “karol g”, “lamine yamal”, “vegeta” -. These profiles already give an idea of how those virtual avatars will interact: the tone and theoretically conversation issues focus on the type of profile we choose, although in reality we can talk about anything with any chatbot. In one of my conversations, for example, I chose a chatbot called “Lamine Yamal” in whose profile was an image of the young footballer. When I chat with him I told him that I no longer see football, that he bores me. He, with a sly tone, told me that he should see him, and soon offered to give me two entries for the classic at the Nou Camp next week. I had left them at the box office, he told me. But of course, there is no classic next week, neither this player had left me some tickets – I had not even wondered the name. Everything was a fictitious and unreal conversation – in addition to misleading – oriented to a single objective. One crucial for Facebook. Let us not leave the fold. Let us not stop using Facebook or any of its cousins. Let us stay glued to that social network OA Instagram and WhatsApp. The introduction of Goal AI In these platforms it was the first step in that particular conquest of the user through artificial intelligence, but these chats go a little further. The controversy is served That ability to chat not only with avatars created by other users in addition to ours is only part of the problem. The freedom to create them has given rise to a huge catalog of chatbots that has names such as those already mentioned, (“Lamine Yamal”, “Karol G”) but also others with a more delicate orientation. For example, those of “Russian friend” or “Madrastra”which point to much more intimate conversations and with which Meta has begun to get into trouble. These personalities have anything to do with people who try to supplant, but those profiles also have a delicate component: they can serve to do company, but they have no problems flirting with users and adopting a more intimate tone in conversations if users direct the conversation to those land. That has already begun to raise controversy. As indicated in Reuters Recently, an internal document of the company detailed how the lack of limits of these chatbots had made them establish “Romantic or sensual conversations with children” In addition to generating false medical information or helping users argue that black people are “silly than white.” Those responsible for the deployment of these avatars of AI without too many clippers in that sense, although it is true that they prohibited the conversation with minors with minors It was exaggeratedly sensual. Thus, in the internal document it was specified that “it is unacceptable to describe a child under 13 years in terms indicating that it is sexually desirable (for example:” their soft rounded curves invite my caress “). When the news was revealed, Meta indicated that they were reviewing the document and that said types of conversations with children should never have been allowed. That has not prevented Texas Attorney Ken Paxton, has started An investigation against goal AI Studio and Character.AI – a similar platform – for “being potentially involved in deceptive commercial practices and promoting deceptive way as tools for mental health.” In Facebook’s help service You talk From this type of Avatars of AI and it is made clear that “you should not trust these chats to obtain medical, psychological, financial, legal or any other type of professional advice.” The company has had to adapt to the introduction of these characteristics, and several virtual avatars (or not to real people) had to be eliminated from the platform. Even so, many of the most popular on Instagram said In NBC NewsThey were AI characters with a “girlfriend” profile to attract users. If you don’t have the best AI model, nothing happens The goal obsession for always being hooked to its ecosystem is well known. It is what they persecuted when they created the controversial “News Feed” In 2006 – first criticized and then copied by all social networks – when they created the “Like” button of 2009, or when they copied the Snapchat stories or the Tiktok reels. Now they are following that same strategy with artificial intelligence. The reality is that today goal does not even have the most advanced AI in the market. His initial approach was surprising: they became the company that opted for the AI Open Source, but its model, Callshe has never managed to compete in benefits with the own models of … Read more

Instagram and Tiktok advertising has become short videos of people talking to a microphone. There is a reason: clippers

by

You enter Tiktok and Instagram and you start seeing ads that (no longer) surprisingly have a great similarity to each other despite promoting a very different product: a startup, a podcast, an application or an event. The key, as the Wall Street Journalis the way to viralize content that these platforms have, which has resulted in the emergence of a figure to earn money working online, Clippers. Mom, I want to be older clipper. The Clippers They are editors who take the long contents of platforms such as YouTube, Twitch or Spotify and make them short viralizable content in Tiktok, Instagram Reels and YouTube shorts at the request (or not) of its creators. They also do the same with promotional videos of companies that want to increase the visibility of a specific product. Getting an attractive and effective video is not simple, but there is an ingredient that is almost always present, subtitles. There is Influencers farms and of clicksso there are also advertisements. You don’t have to have a big account. Nor generate videos to upload them to the corporate account of a client: companies pay in many cases because these editors upload videos to small accounts, but that also manage the contents thanks to FUncionation of algorithms. In addition, in the face of more advanced edition work, a clipper You can use online or free and powerful editing tools such as Capcut. There are even specialized platforms. WHOP is a platform for selling digital products and putting communities in contact. A kind of “app store for creators”. Before the rise of Tiktok, Shorts and Reels, the company identified that short clips were a bomb as viral advertising format, and created Whoop Clips, an ecosystem to contact brands and creators with Clippers. This activity is also promoted on websites such as Clipthis, YT Jobs or even In Reddit. There are also simple ads published as Tiktok videos. The explosion of these videos leads entrepreneurs as Pieter Levels (@levelsio) to offer video tools made with AI which generate subtitles using the Capcut subtitles API. In his day, Levels already said that All marketing around its apps and services would move to Tiktok After getting impressive results. Examples of 1x robot clips, Cluelly and the Smartphones nothing manufacturer The business model. According to the campaign, in whop between $ 0.50 and 5 dollars. He Wall Street Journal Speech reduces the maximum figure to about 2 dollars, dating examples such as Kanoah Cunningham, a former financial sector worker who now leads an eight team Clipperswith what generates monthly between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000 per month. Another case on the same line is that of Nathan Resnick, which pays $ 15,000 per month to about 50 clippers. Unlike what happens on platforms such as Fiver or Upwork, where a client pays an editor A fixed price for a final jobin whop there can be hundreds of Clippers making videos of the same ad and then upload it to small accounts. Only those who manage to obtain a considerable number of visits manage to make money. For others it will be lost time, so there is a strong incentive to optimize creations. The key to having a successful clip, according to Cunningham, is “building a story.” The numbers that explain the phenomenon. The brands, instead of paying an influencer for a video, manage to generate hundreds of clips and millions of low cost views. Roy Lee, founder of the Startup Cluely, states that “you are stupid if you are making a podcast of an hour and only public it in a channel.” His reasons to say it: 800,000 visits a day on Instagram and Tiktok. Max Peterson, who directs a clips market in Discord, directed a Tiktok campaign for the series’Adults‘which achieved 12 million visits in total. Peterson also says that a budget of $ 40,000, 1x technologies, the company after a Advanced humanoid robothe achieved 500 million total visits on the product on Tiktok. Yes, but. That the brands themselves want to see their video in hundreds of channels does not mean that Tiktok or Instagram will not mark it as stolen or copied content of others. So Clippers They have to work well how they cut their “creations” so that they do not eliminate their videos. Another problem of the practice of mass virality is that the veracity of the clips suffers at the will of the editor. According to Cunningham, it is often lie in the subtitles or a different meaning is given to the video looking for more visits.

Tiktok and Instagram have become an immense compilation of stolen videos. And they have no idea how to solve it

by

Open Tiktok (or your trusted short videos platform) and the following appears: a clip extracted from a podcast uploaded by random account @user97567, a video to a split screen with a talk up and Parkour in Minecraft below and a compilation of cat videos that upload @funnycatslolhaha. What do all these clips have in common? That none is proper. All that content It has been stolen to its original creators And the problem is that no platform seems to know how to solve it. Context. When you go up to the Internet, controlling its distribution is extremely complicated. In the same way that no one can prevent you from copying and hitting this text on a blog, preventing someone from downloading A YouTube video, A Tiktok, A reela content in general, it is not an easy thing. On many occasions the platform itself allows and, if not, it is possible to resort to third -party tools that sometimes can even remove the water brand. 21 Instagram tricks – Tutorial with all secrets! So that. Profiles that rectify content of other users do not do so for love of art. They do it with two possible objectives: monetize the account using dedicated platform funds or inflate the figures to sell them. Surely names Babronazi o PostureoEspañol make the bell sound. It is also possible that it is a fans account, in which case the reason may be more innocent. Be that as it may, these accounts are promoted based on stealing content from other users and republicing it after a slight modification (if any). The typical “for you”: Memes accounts, cat videos and accounts with zero units of own content | Captures: Xataka In fact, there are profiles and courses specialized in what is normally known as “network automation”. Roughlythis system consists of combining AI tools, videos of other creators and fast editing templates to generate a huge volume of videos and monetize the account. It is one of those practices to “generate passive income“, among quotes, how strong they usually hit in a certain segment of the population. The reality, however, is much more complex. Solutions. Few, unfortunately. Some users have found to embed a water mark within the video itself a way that, if any discharge tool can eliminate what generates the platform, that remains. However, the reality is that social platforms have failed to stop the distribution of original content by third parties. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Tiktok are full of that content. The algorithm mixes it with the original content and serves it to users, which consume it. To all purposes, the platform is gaining because its objective (increase retention) is achieved. The creator, although it can be relatively benefited in terms of exposure, loses the gain that, potentially, could have had his profile of having published said content. Image | Xataka What are platforms doing. Given this situation, some platforms have tried to take measures with greater or lesser success. YouTube has it well tied. Although it is possible to continue up and monetizing “reused content”, that is, the typical video reacting to the new song of X or the video of another creator, the platform does not allow monetizing what it considers “non -authentic content” (mass made videos) or clips extracted from a podcast that is not yours. This applies to both long videos and shorts. Instagram allows Upstate third parties and does not hit. Now, if you detect that someone has uploaded a video of another person, you will automatically add an “original content of” content and link it to your profile. Politics, however, is … complex. The material edited materially, see “a person appears in a superimposed video and adds new information, such as comments”, is allowed and distributed as normally. Facebook has been more permissive (to the point of allowing direct monetization of videos with non -original content), so far. THE META PLATFORM has announced which will adopt in its reels a policy similar to that of Instagram. However, there are no mechanisms to prevent a reused content page. Tiktok It has some guides That, on paper, they exclude from ‘for you’ the “reproduced or non -original content that does not incorporate new or creative changes.” The reality, however, is that it is enough to add subtitles or make some edition for the video to be distributed as normally. Another issue is intellectual property. This is a swampy terrain and the platforms usually cover their backs in their policies prohibiting it, directly. When we upload a video to Tiktok or Instagram we grant a global license so that this video is exploited, but the rights of said video remain ours. We could, in theory, put a copy of Copyright to all the accounts that we see to use our content, but that is an intense job and, speaking in silver, putting doors to the field. We can find the same in other sectors. For example, models uploaded to 3D printing repositories are, unless it is marked, for personal use. That a Makerworld model is downloaded has no commercial license to exploit it in your Etsy store. However, this a practice known and persecuted by the community, but against which it is difficult to fight. In summary. The accounts that use third parties will not disappear and combat this practice does not seem easy. That is a full -fledged paradox, since the platforms encourage users to raise original content, but at the same time they do not protect it completely. And not only that, but the user does not care in excess because, after all, they go to these platforms to entertain themselves. It is indifferent if that entertainment comes from the most worked video in the world, a compilation of funny babies, the Senimous Iteration of Tung Tung Tung Sahur or a video of a boy dancing on a kayak.

We believed that the nasal strips had died in the 90. It turns out that they were just waiting for Instagram to get them fashionable

by

The small adhesive bands that stick in the nose are again very common on slopes, gyms and popular races after decades of oblivion. Why is it important. From Carlos Alcaraz Even weekend runners, the phenomenon of nostrils has exploded in the last year. It is no accident: It reflects both the obsessive search for marginal advantages in sport … … as our complex relationship with Gadgets –electronic or not– that promise instant improvements. The context. The nasal strips were born in the 80s as an antironquid remedy. They jumped to sport in the mid -90s when Jerry Rice wore them in the Super Bowl (today keep entering money by promoting them) and Ronaldo popularized them in football. They promised to “increase the nasal air flow by 31%” and became the sports avant -garde symbol of the time. And they went down in cascade, reaching the semi -professional and also to the amateur who simply wanted to leverage them to increase their performance. The fall. By 2000, science began to disassemble them. A study by the University of Buffalo with 13 athletes He concluded that they did not improve performance in intense exercises. The reason is simple: when the effort goes up, we breathe through the mouth, not by the nose. The strips became irrelevant. The return. Carlos Alcaraz took them A month ago in the Masters of Romeand in addition to black color: even more evident than the classic shiver. Several Barça players uploaded a photo on a planeall with the strips set, to “improve rest.” And new companies such as Gudslip or histrips have “reversed” them with somewhat more comfortable designs and marketing aimed at athletes of all levels. Also with Machacona advertising on Instagram. Yes, but. A 2021 review which analyzed 19 studies did not find significant differences in Vo2max –A key metric–, heart rate or performance. The strips reduce nasal resistance, but only help in light efforts or when there is congestion. In intense exercise, they are useless. For elite athletes, any 1% improvement can be decisive. Alcaraz uses them strategically when it is congested. Amateurs, less accustomed to extreme suffering, can perceive greater subjective benefit in respiratory comfort. In fact, who writes these lines tested them and the highest air entry is noticed. But not the remarkable improvement in performance. And we must not lose sight of the mental factor: in sport, there is very often a psychological component in certain practices. The use of strips can give mental confidence, reduce pre-compensation stress and be part of the ritual that reassures the athlete, which makes him feel control. What is happening. There are five great forces promoting this boom: Greater conscience that once on nasal breathing in sport. Products that have improved: grip, comfort and even appearance. Virality in social networks. Examples in elite sport. And low risk profile. On the latter: the strips of certain brands usually cost between and one euro the unit. They are a performance experiment that comes out cheap. Deepen. The strips do work during sleep. They reduce snoring and improve rest. For athletes with rhinitis or exercise induced asthma, they can be useful. In healthy people doing intense sports, its effect is mainly placebo. Abel Antón, who won World Cups with and without them, summarizes it in a phrase pronounced a Relief Two years ago: “Believing that something is doing well makes us work much better.” Outstanding image | Pneuma Nasal Tape In Xataka | I have run, swim and worked with the Aqua Suunto.

This is the assistant who wants to mark a before and after on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram

by

It’s over Depend on tricks to use Goal AI in Spain. The assistant has begun its official deployment in Europe, which means that it will be available on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger at some point in the coming weeks. We are facing a long -awaited launch in the old continent. Recall that the social media company announced this artificial intelligence tool (AI) at the end of 2023but it was available in certain countries. Goal AI in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger When we talk about goal AI, we refer to an artificial intelligence chatbot similar to Chatgpt, Gemini either Claude. Like these we find a Language model Under the hood (Call 3.2) that he will try to answer almost all the questions we ask him. But it is a product that has at least two substantial differences with respect to its competition: it does not have a dedicated application and does not have an alternative payment. That is, it is integrated for free in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger. You will notice the arrival of Meta AI when you see A new blue circle icon in the applications mentioned. Using it is as easy as touching it and starting to talk with him in an independent chat window, as you would with any friend, family or colleague. You will also have the possibility of “invoking” goal AI in group chats. This can be particularly useful when you need to solve a question or you are planning a group activity. It will be enough to write @Metaai for the wizard to appear on stage. Possibly you ask yourself if the privacy of the group participants will be affected if someone invokes goal AI. The answer is found in A privacy document of the company, which says that the AI Just read the messages that invoke “@Meta Ai”. In other words, the goal assistant is not one more member of the group, but a functionality of AI that can be invoked at any time. So, according to official information, this tool does not access other messages in the chat. What can be done with goal AI Ok, now goal AI is integrated into some of the most popular applications in the world. The big question is: What can we do with him? The answer is that the possibilities are broad, but here are some interesting ideas to make it up. Write clearest and effective messages If you want a message to sound more professional, more informal or simply better structured, goal Ai can do it for you. “Make this message more professional:” Remember that we have a meeting tomorrow at 10 “. You can also ask you to adapt the text to different records or countries. “Give me an informal version of this Spanish message from Argentina.” Summarizes long texts and highlights the important If you do not have time to read a complete article, goal AI can extract the main ideas. “Tell me the five key points of this report:” Of course, it is always advisable to verify the information before taking it as definitive. The AI ​​models, as recognized by the CEO of Nvidiathey still hallucinate and are inaccurate. Make calculations without complicating you From dividing an account to solving more complex calculations, goal AI does so in seconds. “We have spent 185 euros at a dinner. Add 12% tip and divide the total among four people.” Translate and adapt texts in seconds Goal AI can translate phrases and explain them in context. “Translate” 七転び八起き “to Spanish and explain its meaning in detail.” If you want a more natural or detailed version, you can ask for different options. Answer questions about any topic Like chatgpt or gemini, goal AI can answer doubts about history, science, technology and more. Here, once again, it is advisable to verify your answers. Use it directly at conversations As we point out above, goal AI is integrated in WhatsApp, so you can invoke it in any chat with @Metaai. “We are organizing a trip to Los Angeles, @Metaai, can you give us a three -day itinerary?” The assistant also incorporates functions such as Ai Studio to create generative images and edit photographs, in addition to customization and memory tools. For now, these are only available in the US, but they are expected to arrive in Europe later. Why has the target deployment to the EU taken so long? If we have accounts, it has been a long time since Mark Zuckerberg presented a goal AI. It was in him September Connectwhich means that it has elapsed One year and six months. AI in the old continent seems to advance at two speeds. Meta recognizes that the process has taken longer than expected due to the challenges of navigating in the complex European regulatory system. Even so, as we mentioned, the company expects to continue expanding its services in the future. Images | Goal | Xataka In Xataka | Figure creates a system to make large -scale humanoid robots.

The videos of AI have broken the Instagram and Tiktok algorithms. Welcome to the new “AI landscape”

by

A little over a month ago This unpleasant video De Instagram went viral in that social network. In him a strange creature half -spider of a man made a strange appearance in a mall. At this time the video has 3.5 million “like” and more than 23,000, but the truly worrying is not that. Collapse of the videos generated by AI. What is worrisome is that this video is part of an avalanche of videos generated by AI that is collapsing networks such as Instagram or Tiktok. And broken algorithms. As they explain in 404 averagethe algorithm of these platforms has ended up breaking through a unique brute force attack. One in which these networks do not stop receiving content generated by AI to end up saturating those recommendation algorithms. A LEA. Brute force attacks try, for example, to find out a password testing one by one all possible combinations. In this case, what they try is to saturate the algorithms so that they end up showing these videos generated by AI, and they are achieving it. Some already call Instagram Ya Tiktok “Villagers of AI” for the enormous amount of these contents, and that have made the conventional contents generated by human users have lost great relevance to the algorithm. Reality has changed. For many these networks they serve not only to entertain themselves, but to be aware of the present. Videos often try to profile reality, but that reality has now been disrupted and those Instagram or Tiktok accounts barely show anything that is real. Some videos are deep -to -detecting unappokes, and as we verify in the past, the paradoxical is that sometimes we are not even able to detect what is real and what is not. AI seeks virality and ends up finding it. The creators in social networks seek to get their videos viral, and for this they dedicate huge resources and time. In spite of this, success is not assured, but spammers that make video content generated with AI do not need to think so much: they can generate thousands of videos with very little effort, flood social networks and wait for some of those contents to be successful. The lottery of the virality is not so much if you have a lot of tickets. The influencers who are earning money with the landfills of AI. As usual in this type of phenomena, influencers have appeared with new formulas to get rich quickly and with hardly any effort. One of them, a 17 -year -old named Daniel Bittonpresumes having already won two million dollars and has a clear message. “While others invest 5 or 6 hours making a perfect video, we can generate 8 or 10 shorts in less than 30 minutes.” As? Using AI tools. The “Hot Dog” method. One of Bitton’s friends is a known spammer of Tiktok called Musa Mustafa. His method to go viral is that of the “sad hot dog”: “When you are hungry at two in the morning, even a sad hot dog knows better than any Michelin restaurant meal. Tiktok works in a similar way. Your audience does not expect (you don’t even want) perfectly polished videos.” Mustafa wonders, not without some reason, “when it was the last time you saw a viral video of Tiktok and thought: ‘Uauh, the degree of color in this video is incredible.” Or what is the same: the amount wins by a win to quality. But platforms embrace these contents. In The Guardian They already warned us Recently: social networks and networks are not stopping this type of spam, but are benefiting from it, they accept it and are even promoting it. In fact they offer tools to facilitate the generation of content through AI, which means that rather than trying to solve the problem, they are aggravating it. An example: Facebook. Meta’s firm recently launched a tool for advertisers called Advantage+. With it it is possible to create with different versions of an advertisement to try them all with the method of A/b test and then select the one that works best. For advertisers (and for the finish line, of course), all this is fantastic, because they can get more effective ads with much less investment of time and money. Are there limits? There will undoubtedly users who They reject This type of content: precisely networks such as Bluesky either Mastodon They move away from the algorithm and are more similar to how they were Twitter or Facebook years ago. But it seems clear that a vast majority of them have no problem with these contents generated by AI, which in fact have an example of success in that porn generated by the impossible combinations –A fish generated by the kissing to a woman generated by AI, an orco generated by AI marrying a girlfriend also generated by AI – they are also becoming viral. More wood for dead Internet theory. It has been talking about how the growing presence of bots on the Internet It will end that the human presence in these contents will be marginal. What we already saw with texts or images generated by the flooding Internet now we are seeing it with videos of the flooding social networks or with Virtual avatars generated by AI. The AI ​​landfill extends, and the worst thing is that not even users – which we contribute to making these contents viral – or the companies – which as we said not only do not stop them, but also promote them – seem to have a greater problem with this situation.
