"In an effort to beef up its standalone Meta AI app, the Bay Area tech giant announced a new product called Vibes on Thursday: a feed of brief, completely AI-generated video clips. It's like a text-free, human-free, plot-free version of TikTok or Instagram Reels, where a scroller can swipe down forever, watching an endless river of what many now call "AI slop.""
"If you've been on social media in the past year, you've likely seen these types of AI videos - crisp, bright and often photorealistic, sometimes convincing, often surreal. A quick perusal Friday showed a humanoid bunny breakdancing in a suit and tie, a buff alien doing pull-ups on a bar of scaffolding and a couple smiling at each other on a sailboat as a snippet of the Turtles' "Happy Together" played. Most of the videos are posted alongside the text prompt that created them."
Meta introduced Vibes, a new feed of short, fully AI-generated video clips integrated into the standalone Meta AI app. The feed presents text-free, human-free, plot-free short videos that users can swipe through indefinitely, and it replaces the prior Discover feed that showed how people interacted with the chatbot. The rollout was promoted by Mark Zuckerberg and AI chief Alexandr Wang, who encouraged creating, remixing or simply scrolling. Early examples include surreal, photorealistic clips—a breakdancing humanoid bunny, a buff alien, a smiling couple with music—and many responses called the outputs "AI slop" and criticized the product despite large AI investments.
