Vibes? More Like AI Slop on Scroll

Today, we’re looking at Meta’s push to flood your screen with AI-generated short videos via its new “Vibes” feed. It’s an aggressive bet on synthetic content even as users are loudly asking for the opposite. We are also looking at how Microsoft is quietly fixing a long-standing problem with AI is inaccurate and often harmful portrayals of disability.

In today’s post:

• Meta’s new AI video feed is here

• Microsoft’s new AI update takes aim at disability stereotypes

• Congress wants companies to come clean about AI job cuts

UPGRADE

Nobody wants AI TikTok, but Meta launched it anyway

Meta just expanded its AI-generated video feed, Vibes, to Europe. It’s like Reels, except everything you scroll through was made by a machine.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Vibes lets users create and share short-form AI-generated videos based on text prompts.

• You can remix others’ videos, add music, and customize styles, all inside the Meta AI app.

• The feed adapts to your interests, similar to TikTok’s algorithm.

• Despite Meta’s push, user feedback has been… brutal. “Nobody wants this” was one of the top comments.

• Earlier this year, Meta told creators to focus on “authentic storytelling” a sharp contrast to this launch.

• Critics are calling the feed “AI slop,” a growing term for low-effort, low-value content made by generative models.

• Meanwhile, platforms like YouTube are cracking down on AI spam to protect content quality and trust.

Just because we can generate infinite video doesn’t mean we should. Meta might be chasing scale, but people still crave creativity with a pulse. AI won’t replace that, at least, not convincingly.

BREAKTHROUGH

AI kept getting disability wrong so Microsoft stepped in

Microsoft just made a quiet but meaningful update to its AI image tools. The goal? More authentic depictions of people with disabilities.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Earlier versions of Bing Image Creator showed blind people with blindfolds and people with dwarfism as fantasy characters.

• Microsoft says these inaccuracies stemmed from how AI models are trained mostly on limited public content.

• The company is now retraining its models using real input from people with disabilities and advocacy groups.

• Updates now better reflect conditions like autism, Down syndrome, limb difference, blindness, and dwarfism.

• Microsoft’s accessibility chief said feedback so far has been “overwhelmingly” positive.

• She also warned that poor representation in AI doesn’t just look bad it can reinforce stigma and erase real experiences.

• This update follows reports of AI-generated impersonations of people with Down syndrome spreading online.

It’s a small step, but a symbolic one. When tech giants like Microsoft acknowledge how AI can harm marginalized communities and actually work to fix it, it sets a precedent. Accuracy in representation isn’t just nice to have. It’s essential.

POLICY

A new bill could expose how AI is really affecting jobs

As AI reshapes industries, lawmakers want to track who’s winning and who’s getting left behind.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• A new bipartisan bill would require companies to report AI-related workforce changes every quarter.

• That includes layoffs, retraining, hiring freezes, and new AI-driven job roles.

• The goal: a clearer, data-driven view of how AI is changing employment not just assumptions.

• Senators Warner and Hawley say the reports would help prevent workers from being “quietly” displaced.

• Reports would go to the Department of Labor and be made public.

• The proposal follows major layoffs at Amazon, UPS, and Target over 60,000 jobs cut last month.

• Experts warn some companies may be blaming AI to mask deeper problems like poor planning or market shifts.

Transparency is overdue. If AI is genuinely creating or eliminating jobs, we need the receipts. Right now, it’s too easy for companies to hide behind buzzwords. Data won’t solve everything, but it forces a conversation rooted in reality.
