AI search grounded in Facebook posts? What could go wrong?
The Verge
Meta's new AI search feature uses public Facebook and Instagram content to answer queries, but it struggles with accuracy and hallucinations.Summary
Meta has introduced an AI Mode in the Facebook search bar that utilizes public posts from Facebook and Instagram to assist with planning trips and activities. While intended to provide helpful, community-sourced recommendations, the tool often hallucinates, citing non-existent posts or recommending locations in the wrong cities. Although the AI appears to filter out some common conspiracy theories, its reliability remains questionable, as it sometimes provides dubiously sourced justifications for sensitive political topics.
