Many users continue to get tricked into believing a fake post is actually real, he added. This has to do with so many AI images circulating on the internet. This makes it all the more difficult to differentiate fact from fiction.
The warning came in the form of a series of Threads published during the afternoon hours yesterday. This is why the app now wants users to verify the source and only then assume it’s true.
Mosseri further shared how the goal of the platform right now is to label any content made using AI with tags. However, there’s a huge likelihood that some content gets missed by the labels. Therefore, to help combat that issue, users need to add more context related to who’s sharing. In this way, users decide how much trust they can put in the source.
Remember, he adds that chatbots can lie to you on your face so in the same manner, trusting search engines powered by AI might give you the same disappointment. If the source is checked as a verifiable one or a reputable account, it just makes it so much easier.
Right now, Meta’s apps are not providing the same level of authentication that Mosseri discussed. The company did share at big changes arriving soon in terms of content rules but we’re still waiting for that.
For now, Mosseri’s description is quite like the Community Notes found on X as well as YouTube. You can even link it to the custom moderation filters on Bluesky. Now if Meta hopes to roll out anything like that, we’re not quite sure. But if you do look at history, it does tend to get inspired by other arch-rivals in the industry very easily. What do you think?
