MODERATORS
Meta loves to spread misinformation, because political parties and advocacy groups will spend millions on advertising to counteract (or boost) it.
Spreading misinformation is extremely profitable
Could easily find out with a blinded rating test.
To the person eating the fruit, maybe, but the person picking it from the tree knows
Starts with AI-generated borealis, ends with AI-generated pictures of food
Between this and Google's Olympics ad, maybe they should be asking AI how to not piss off their costumers lol
