Meta Pivots Facebook and Instagram Feeds to AI-Generated Content in ‘Third Era’ Push

The company ties the move to recent gains in ad performance.

Overview

  • Mark Zuckerberg said Meta will add a “huge corpus” of AI-generated images, video, and text to its recommendation systems.
  • The change will surface more synthetic posts in Facebook and Instagram feeds through distribution of content created in Vibes.
  • Zuckerberg framed AI-generated material as social media’s third era after friends-and-family posts and then creator content.
  • Meta reported Q3 revenue up 26% to $51.24 billion, crediting AI enhancements for part of the improvement in its advertising business.
  • Vibes retention is rising, users have created over 20 billion images to date, and some industry voices are questioning authenticity and user trust.
