**Instagram Might Roll Out AI-Generated Comments**

Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more common on social media platforms. From **AI influencers** to AI-created content, and even AI-managed accounts, the technology is ubiquitous. Now, it seems that **Instagram** might be experimenting with AI-generated comments as well.

App researcher **Jonah Manzano** recently published a **post on Threads** and a **video on TikTok**, highlighting a new Instagram feature. Some users have spotted a **pencil with a star icon** in the comment area, enabling them to produce AI-generated comments for posts and videos.

### How the AI Comment Function Operates

This tool, called **”Write with Meta AI,”** consists of two parts:

– **”How to utilize this tool”** – This section clarifies that users can receive suggested captions based on the image they are sharing, with options to edit the suggestions or create new ones.
– **”How it functions”** – Meta AI asserts that it can examine photos, including facial characteristics, assisting users in formulating comments.

In Manzano’s TikTok video, the AI-generated comment suggestions included:
– *”Adorable living room arrangement!”*
– *”Digging the laid-back atmosphere here.”*
– *”That gray cap is fantastic.”*

While these comments may appear benign, they lack authenticity and further reduce genuine human interaction on social media.

### The Path Ahead for AI on Instagram

It’s not clear why Instagram would seek to automate something as personal as user comments, but it looks like Meta is pushing ahead with AI integration. As of now, **Meta has not replied** to Mashable’s inquiry for comment.
