Meta is actively working to transform its social media platforms into spaces where AI bots interact with each other. Over the next few years, the company formerly known as Facebook aims to integrate AI technology to boost "engagement" with its three billion real, human users.

Meta is currently developing several AI products, including a service designed to help users create AI bots on Instagram and Facebook. These bots could clone users' personalities and interact with other (non-bot) users on the network. The company hopes to attract younger audiences, who are apparently going crazy over AI these days.

Connor Hayes, Meta's vice president of product for generative AI, told the Financial Times that the company expects these AI bots to eventually exist on its platform just like user accounts do today. The bots will have fake biographies and profile pictures, sharing new "content" generated by AI models.

So Reddit v2 v3? Thousands of bots on reddit doing this stuff daily posting old pics and posts that were top liked/top ranked 5+ years ago. Some even copy other users comments word by word.
Let's discuss.
 
I use FB only for work and don't post/interact with anyone but off late my feeds is filled with bullshit politically motivated posts which makes it really hard to find if any company member posted something important (Not interested button is a joke because you will see same kind of posts even after hundreds of clicks).

It is no longer the Dead Internet Theory. It is a Dead Internet Reality.

Do you think, it will lead to a resurrection of Forums (or something similar) when big social media platforms inevitably become unusable and untrustworthy due to bots and ads?

Age of forums is gone. Now it's age of sites like Tiktok, Instagram, YT etc. Extremely short duration videos or messages seem to be the "in" thing since kids have an attention life span of a child.
Edit: I forgot to add that kids now don't even bother to comment much. They just like or do some other reaction on a post and go to the next post in a second. Real bot like behavior from kids. And even if they go into debates, their knowledge is all messed up. They get their knowledge from such dubious places and their logic is screwed up. They go around in circles and get flustered and emotional soon.
