Meta AI feed surfaces low-quality clickbait and emotional scams

Meta's AI feed now surfaces fabricated confessions, misleading health claims, and exaggerated fictional scenarios designed to trigger reactions. Users encounter emotionally manipulative content and engagement-bait posts that mimic Facebook clickbait. The feed surfaces AI-generated stories and life advice with no verified sources or context. Meta allows public sharing of AI prompts and generated content to boost engagement. Critics say the shift from private chat to public social feed worsens content moderation challenges.
