Creators Express Frustration with Instagram's Latest AI Experiment
Instagram's latest AI experiment has sparked frustration among creators, who feel that the platform's new shopping test is displaying products they don't endorse and competing with their existing brand deals.
The test, which is being rolled out to a select group of users, allows influencers to tag products in their posts, but some creators are complaining that the platform is not giving them sufficient control over the products that are displayed.
According to a report by Social Media Today, the test is being criticized for its lack of transparency and for potentially undermining the relationships between influencers and their brands.
The report notes that the test is being tested in the U.S. and Canada, and that it is unclear how widespread the rollout will be.
Instagram has not commented on the test, but the company has been experimenting with AI-powered features in recent months, including a new feature that allows users to create custom filters.
The company has also been working on a new feature that allows users to share their location with friends, but it is unclear whether this feature will be rolled out to all users.
The latest AI experiment is just the latest in a series of moves by Instagram to incorporate AI into its platform. The company has been using AI to improve the accuracy of its content moderation and to help users find relevant content.
However, the company has also faced criticism for its use of AI, with some users complaining that the platform is not doing enough to prevent the spread of misinformation.
The latest experiment has sparked a heated debate among creators and users, with some calling for greater transparency and control over the products that are displayed.
