Meta Plans New AI-Powered 'Morning Brief' Drawn From Facebook and 'External Sources' (msn.com)

Meta "is testing a new product that would give Facebook users a personalized daily briefing powered by the company's generative AI technology" [1]reports the Washington Post . They cite records they've reviwed showing that Meta "would analyze Facebook content and external sources to push custom updates to its users."

> The company plans to test the product with a small group of Facebook users in select cities such as New York and San Francisco, according to a person familiar with the project who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private company matters...

> Meta's foray into pushing updates for consumers follows years of controversy over its relationship with publishers. The tech company has waffled between prominently featuring content from mainstream news sources on Facebook to pulling news links altogether as regulators pushed the tech giant to pay publishers for content on its platforms. More recently, publishers [2]have sued Meta, alleging it infringed on their copyrighted works to train its AI models.

Same bucket of everything and anything. Totally unrelatable and full of ads. Because that's what it's all about - serving more ads.
