According to a report from Facebook’s AI researchers, internet spam content is expected to evolve significantly by 2024, with a surge in bizarre and nonsensical posts featuring shrimp, Jesus, and zombies. The researchers used AI models to analyze existing spam data and predict future trends. They found that spammers are likely to exploit the human tendency to engage with strange and attention-grabbing content, leading to an influx of posts featuring random combinations of unrelated topics like seafood, religious figures, and the undead. This shift towards more surreal and absurd spam is aimed at bypassing traditional spam filters and tricking users into engaging with the content. The researchers warn that this new wave of spam could be more difficult to detect and combat, requiring advanced AI techniques to identify and filter out the nonsensical posts.
