Facebook Glitch Adds Weird Gen Z Slang to Posts
29 Apr
Summary
- Facebook shares are unexpectedly adding Gen Z slang phrases.
- The glitch appears to be related to AI captions, Meta says.
- There is currently no known fix for the unusual text additions.
Facebook users have recently encountered a strange glitch causing unintended Gen Z slang to be added to shared posts. These out-of-place phrases, such as 'Massive W' or 'Views are fire!', appear without the user's input, sometimes in contexts where they don't make sense.
The social media giant Meta has stated that it is aware of the issue and is investigating, initially attributing the problem to 'AI captions'. This suggests the technology designed to generate titles or descriptions for posts might be misfiring.
Currently, there is no confirmed solution for this ongoing problem. Users are encouraged to manually remove the extraneous text if they spot it on their shared content. This requires checking profiles after posting, as the glitch's effect is not visible beforehand.
