- saintradon 2y agoIf that's the case then what's the endgame of this promotion? Strange.
- Retr0id 2y agoTesting the waters, I guess. "it's my birthday today [AI generated image of Grandma with birthday cake]" is a viable business model on Facebook these days: https://www.404media.co/where-facebooks-ai-slop-comes-from/ https://www.404media.co/where-facebooks-ai-slop-comes-from/ If they get enough clicks they could put profitable ads on the page, or even sell it (like what happened with Wordle).
- serial_dev 2y agoGo viral and show ads? Get the chatter going, get "press", clicks, visitors and players, then potentially ads, or selling the site (for someone else to put even more ads on it), or using it as marketing reference (I made a game viral by lying about it).
- rjh29 2y agoWordle sold for $1+ million. An average word game with a unique hook like "my grandma made it" is well positioned to sell or at least attract a lot of viral traffic. Anyway, the grandma story has been exposed as fake.
- BearOso 2y agoThe source fits the pattern of something generated by LLM and even includes comments that were probably part of the prompt. Doesn't anyone else remember being a beginner? This isn't something I would have made. It has too many extra little nuances. The dictionary is a big clue.
