   On Instagram, this “Black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller” who is “Your realest source for life’s ups and downs”—it’s a bot created and managed by Meta—posts amongst other things about making imaginary charitable donations, complete with picture of imaginary boxes of coats.

   Oh, Jean Baudrillard, how the rock-kickers sneered at you back in the day.

     @kjhealy I can already see the lachrymose quotes to be distributed by some "small business alliance" which just so happens to be funded by Facebook. "My small ecommerce business has suffered a 13.7 % decrease in revenue now that I can't rely on Liv to support me in my daily struggles with logistics issues, and I have to drive to an expensive therapist instead."

     Aw, Meta deleted its terrible weird bots with great speed already. Obviously now we need some sort of leading-edge tumblr-like uwu smol bean hot take from e.g. a Bot Ally who is SOBBING at the elimination of their ai fren they had been using as a therapist.

     @seachanger@alaskan.social @kjhealy@mastodon.social how did they manage to make this even harmful than anticipated!?
     
     Something about making an “AI” profile that is specifically a Black woman feels incredibly “blackface, but with a computer”. Like Jesus fucking Christ.

     @seachanger @kjhealy To discredit real Black queer women by raising doubt "oh that's probably just another DEI bot by Meta"... 🤬
