πŸ“° News Alert... πŸ”– Title: Meta Launches "Vibes" Feedβ€”An Endless Stream of AI-Generated Video Clips Stirring Mixed Reactions πŸ—“οΈ Published: 2025-09-26T19:13:14.000Z πŸ“„ Summary: Meta’s new AI app feature, "Vibes," offers an endless feed of random AI-generated short videos. While this replaces the problematic Discover feed, initial response to Vibes has been largely negative. The feed currently lacks personalization and deeper meaning, showcasing surreal clips like elephants driving cars and Vikings taking selfies. Despite the criticism, Vibes also functions as a free AI video creation tool, potentially serving as a gateway to wider user familiarity with Meta’s AI technology. Meta’s substantial investment in AI talent and infrastructure suggests this might be an early consumer-facing step in a broader AI strategy rather than a finished product. πŸ”— πŸ—žοΈ Source: Business Insider πŸ’“ #ArtificialIntelligence #TechInnovation #MetaAI
