In a 2022 Saturday Night Live sketch, game show contestants are grilled about why they clicked “like” on certain Instagram photos. The two male contestants, one of whom is played by guest host Jake Gyllenhaal, are forced to fess up that they hoped the women who posted the pics would see their little digital hearts and this would lead to real-world sex.
It was a funny premise for 2022, but three years later, it already feels antiquated. The market is now saturated with artificial-intelligence-powered social media “managers” that will take care of the drudgery of posting content, liking other people’s photos, and commenting on their posts. You can now fully automate your online experience, saving you the time it takes to generate insightful replies like “LOL,” “lookin’ good,” and “cry laughing emoji.”
