Meta is using its AI tool to summarize the comment sections on Facebook. These summaries reflect what people are saying, whether good or bad.
If you’ve been on the Facebook app lately, you might’ve seen Meta’s AI inject itself into the comment section with summaries of what people say. Given how wild Facebook comment sections often become, it’s not hard to imagine how ridiculous some of these summaries turn out. After seeing screenshots of the feature shared on Threads and Reddit, I decided to check the comment sections on my Facebook app. I found the AI summaries popping up on many of the posts I checked — unhinged responses and all.
” It’s still not clear how Meta chooses which posts to display comment summaries on, and the company didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment. Either way, the summaries really don’t include anything that I found useful — but it could help you identify posts where the comment section has gotten too toxic to bother scrolling. The AI summaries have also prompted privacy concerns, as Meta is feeding user comments into its AI system to generate them.
