> is today's end goal of social media to provide AI generated content that users can endlessly consume? I think Facebook is heading this direction.

Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts have already gone a long way down that path. I don't think users like this content much though.

They don't have to like it they just need to engage with it.

Which users? I typically dislike TikTok and other shorts but the platforms seem to be wildly popular even despite my opinions.

They only dislike it when they can tell it’s AI, but that’s becoming less and less of a possibility.
