I'm aware of what morale means in etymological and historical context. The article fails to elucidate what Zuckerberg meant with it.
The morale of who? The general populace? The owners of social media? LLM? And how will the improvement of morale stop ai slop?
Neither of those are explained yet are important for the article, as, you know, they put that in the title.
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”.
Aha ok, well that eluded me. Thanks for the explanation!
