> Naomi Gleit, the head of product at Meta, [2]revealed the subscription testing in an Instagram video, announcing that the plans "give people who use Meta AI more to work with, more capacity, bigger, more complex requests, and more room to create for businesses and creators."
>
> Meta One Plus will cost $7.99 a month and the Meta One Premium plan will cost $19.99 a month, the company confirmed. The more expensive version offers users additional computing capacity to produce more comprehensive responses and other advanced features. The company will continue to provide a free version of the app and site.
>
> "We're offering premium tools that allow you to enhance presence, supercharge content, automate tasks, and protect your brand," Gleit said in the post. "We're also thinking about how to bring this all together in a way that makes sense."

The last thing I want from Meta. (Score:2)
I have no use for social media content enhancing crap from Meta. I just want to be able to pay for Instagram with no recommendations and with a chronological feed.

just append '/?variant=following' to the url: [1]https://www.instagram.com/?var... [instagram.com]
it will do exactly what you are asking for. it's actually the only way i ever access ig.
it should work even on the phone. if you're using the app then ... just stop doing that. it's documented spyware (thus also a security concern) and user hostile crap sw anyway.

I guess this is the moment when they realise that the only reason why some people use AI because it's free or forced upon us. No marketing campaign will ever make people pay this sort of money pay for a silly chatbot, especially the Meta AI crap.

I think "people" are not the target market; influencers (and wannabe influencers) and brands are the target market. I.e. it is a spam-enhancement tool.
How about an ability to disable AI being presented (Score:2)
I would so love to be able to make it so Meta stops shoving AI in my face. I don't want it and if they can't pay for the compute resources, then I am not going to help them justify the expense.

Oh sure, all these people who've been laid off and downsized and subject to higher costs of living are definitely going to set up a new recurring payment to use the pointless, idiotic lie machine that the upper crust have deigned to replace their presence with. That's definitely real, and the secret to infinite financial growth.
Meta has an AI? (Score:2)
They will first need to tell people that they actually do have an AI.
I am not sure anybody actually knows.

WhatsApp started flashing an expanding "Ask Meta AI" tooltip every time you open the app recently.

They might get a better responsie by requesting $4.99/month to remove the Meta AI slop from their Facebook interface.

They might be better off just closing Meta. It's an antisemitic Trash company run by a literal Neonazi.

They've been thrusting it in your face in the Facebook UI for a while - and it recently got more obnoxious. Absolutely the last place I need "AI".

Anyone who's seen Zuck testify at Congress has seen Meta AI in action.
I'm quite impressed at how close to human it appeared
