Lampshade

It’s a joke (from the author of the article and not a quote from Zuckerberg). Usually in the format of “xyz will continue until morale improves”, where xyz is something that is likely to reduce morale, thus implying that xyz will continue indefinitely.

In this case the morale is of those forced to consume meta’s ai slop, i.e facebook users.

An alternate worded headline would be: “AI content will continue on Facebook regardless of whether users like it”.

What stops the botters from setting up their own instances to create unlimited users for manipulating votes?

I guess admins also have to be on top of detecting and defederating from such instances?
