great question, i was wondering about that. I think it's mostly in discovery phase right now, similar to how they dabbled in crypto before, and the largely finished by now "metaverse" experiment. (yes, this dabbling involves a ton of money sometimes). These demos actually show what they might end up using AI for, but whether it's truly game-changing for their business and whether it will be good for the regular users, considering their shitty UI's both in FB and even Instagram by now are grossly obsolete, haven't changed in over a decade despite 70,000 people working there, and are nowadays mostly focused on violently shoving more ads over actual usefulness, is still an open question.
If their business remains a shitty declining buggy 20-year-old Facebook and a 10+year-old Instagram app, but they contribute to advancing open source models similar to how they did with React, I'll consider that a net win though.
