Meta has a suggestion for people like me who forgot to go outside and watchthe Northern Lightson Thursday night: Just useAI to simulateit. But thread users who responded to Meta's idea, posted last night alongside three AI-generated images of the Northern Lights by Meta, don't seem to agree.The images show the aurora hovering over the Golden Gate Bridge,acity skyline andaFerris wheel.
The move seems aimed at capitalizing on a trending moment where people are posting photos of the amazing and rare aurora borealis that struck the US on Thursday night. Readingthrough the first few comments from people sharing the AI-generated aurora photos, the reactions range from thoughtful to critical.
As with the Olympic ads that Google removed,Meta's social media team failed toreadthe situation.User messages do not only display beautiful images.
They are also related to participation in rare general life experience. This is not the moment or location of inserting images generated by AI. The company always analyzes dirty questions about AI. For example, it is an ethics of photos and works gathered from artists, writers, musicians and photographers. Until the heat of these debates dies down, articles like Meta will continue to miss the point.
