There is no denying the fact Artificial Intelligence is almost taking over everything. Whether it is social media, apps, or technologies, AI is everywhere.

If you are a tech-enthusiast, either you will be trying out an AI-driven app or will be occupied developing an AI-driven product. These days, almost every technology and apps come with unique features, but Artificial Intelligence is simply transforming everything.

Moreover, it has already made a way into our lives and has also given us realistic advantages as well. But with the pros comes the cons as well.

Here are some disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence on social media channels.

An End To All The Trending Topics

Social media channels run on trends. For instance- if a trend is out there, it gets viral on all the websites and makes you follow it as well.

After the AI integration, if trends come out, Artificial Intelligence will work on it and will differentiate between the actual and fad content. So, with this, there is a chance that the discussion might get removed as well.

Loss On Big Scale

Facebook has 2 billion active users. If there is any action taken in an automated matter, it will affect every Facebook user. So, the content analysis by AI is not as beneficial as it seems like.

Misinterpretation Of Content

There will be times when it will misinterpret the content and reject the posts that are not offensive or dangerous at all. It will start with targeting a certain string of keywords and will also help Facebook cut down the time that Facebook user to review the content.

But it might delete the profitable content as well.

High Percentage Of Error

Bots always have a chance of making an incorrect decision.

Even if it’s minimalistic, sometimes just 1% or 2% of error can take the entire content chain down.

The End Of Human Interaction

Social media was a place where humans used to interact and connect with each other. But as AI will come up, algorithms will deal with our data, and everything we do will be moderated by bots.

Yes! Our social media channels are now on the complete mercy of bots. AI is quite a powerful concept, and its use is growing day by day. Moreover, the AI integrations will soon come in your social media feeds as well.

All we can do is wait and see the change to happen.
