Meta brings its short-form video feed of AI slop to Europe | TechCrunch

"With Vibes, you can create and share short-form AI-generated videos and access a dedicated feed that displays AI videos from others. Meta says your feed will become more personalized to your interests over time. When creating content, you can generate a video using prompts or remix someone else's video. You can add new visuals, layer in music, or adjust styles to match your individual taste."

"Meta announced on Thursday that Vibes, its short-form video feed of AI-generated videos, is launching in Europe in the Meta AI app. Think TikTok or Instagram Reels, but every single video you come across is AI-generated. "This is an inherently social and collaborative creation experience, where you're encouraged to remix, co-create, and build stories together with friends," Meta wrote. "Videos and content can be shared and posted directly to the Vibes feed, sent to friends, or cross-posted to Instagram and Facebook Stories and Reels.""

"When Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg first unveiled the feed in September, the user comments in response to his announcement post were about what you'd expect, especially since no one really wants an AI-generated version of TikTok. One of the top comments on the post read: "gang nobody wants this," while another popular comment said: "Bro's posting ai slop on his own app." Another comment read: "I think I speak for everyone when I say: What....?""

Meta launched Vibes in Europe inside the Meta AI app, a short-form feed where every video is AI-generated. Users can create videos from prompts, remix others' videos, add visuals, layer music, and adjust styles. The Vibes feed personalizes to individual interests over time. Videos can be shared on the Vibes feed, sent to friends, or cross-posted to Instagram and Facebook Stories and Reels. The rollout follows a U.S. introduction and the appearance of competing platforms like OpenAI's Sora. The launch prompted negative user comments calling the output "ai slop" and skepticism about AI-generated short-form content.
