Meta is testing a new feature that allows users to use artificial intelligence to generate comments and suggestions on Instagram. X user Jonah Manzano discovered and shared this test feature, showing that users can click on the pencil icon below the post to access Meta AI, which analyzes photos and provides three possible comments. If the user is not satisfied, you can refresh and get more suggestions.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed that the company is testing Meta AI capabilities in multiple areas, including comments, dynamics, groups and searches. The company had tested similar AI-generating comments on Facebook last year.
However, this feature may face user resistance. Many Instagram users miss the platform's early more realistic experience, believing that friends should interact sincerely instead of relying on AI to generate content. This is also another AI attempt after Meta's previous attempt to introduce AI to generate characters, which was abandoned because it was considered "creepy".
It is not clear whether Meta will launch this feature extensively or only for small-scale testing.
