Instagram head Adam Mosseri has warned that artificial intelligence will upend how people create and interpret visual content online, predicting the end of the “polished” aesthetic and the rise of a more “raw” and imperfect social-media style.

In a year-end reflection posted on Threads, Mosseri said that AI-generated photos and videos are flooding feeds and steadily eroding the assumption that visual media reflects reality.
