PetaPixel••general
Key Points:
- Instagram head Adam Mosseri criticized camera companies for focusing on polished, professional aesthetics, arguing that social media users now prefer raw, unfiltered, and authentic content over perfected images.
- Mosseri highlighted a shift away from traditional Instagram feeds toward sharing personal moments primarily through Stories and direct messages, reflecting a desire for less pressured and more genuine interactions.
- He acknowledged the rise of AI-generated photos and videos that are indistinguishable from real media, warning that this challenges the authenticity of visual content and will require years for people to adapt.
- Mosseri suggested that social media platforms will need to label AI-generated content, but as AI improves, it may become more effective to cryptographically sign genuine images at capture to verify authenticity.
