The last five years have brought big changes to social media and the online experience, but are users better off for it? Chatbots and AI-generated content proliferate in social feeds. Twitter/X and, just recently, Meta have stopped fact-checking content to prioritize "free speech." As platforms like BlueSky emerge, toxicity and arguments might decrease, but it also leads to a more fragmented and atomized society, with no 'town square' to debate big issues. On GZERO World, Atlantic CEO Nicholas Thompson joins Ian Bremmer to discuss the seismic shifts in the social media landscape and the implications of AI-driven communication. Thompson says social media is less important than five years ago, and we no longer have shared space for meaningful political and cultural exchange. Meta's recent experiment with AI-generated profiles has Thompson worried about a future where humans interact more with bots than real people. How do we balance technological progress with preserving authentic human connections?
