8. Not so fast

From what I can gather, what Meta is talking about here are small ads and banner ads on their apps. These are a tiny fraction of the ad business as a whole. Quite frankly, I'm surprised that this hasn't happened already. We are talking about the tiny little ads that annoy just about everyone on social media, and even this website. I would not say this is a massive threat to jobs. I'm in the ad biz and do some of these from time to time. They're not a big percentage of what we do, and I can see how these could be easily automated. That's not to say that AI won't have a bigger impact in the future.
