Meta has deployed AI to automatically generate low-quality news content for Facebook's feed, prioritizing engagement metrics over accuracy. The shift moves the platform from human editorial curation toward algorithmic content manufacturing—filling feeds with fabricated urgency and AI-generated visuals in place of reporting. The move reflects Meta's core economic incentive: its ad-supported model rewards maximizing time-on-platform above all else, even when that means flooding feeds with misinformation and synthetic content that degrades user experience.
