研究顯示:社交媒體或無法擺脫極化回音室的命運

社交媒體現時已經變成一個充斥虛假資訊和仇恨言論的有害平台,這已經不再是秘密。由於缺乏有效監管和執行政策的壓力,這些平台迅速演變成充滿憤怒和分裂的回音室,目的只有一個,就是利用用戶的情緒反應來吸引他們花更多時間停留,從而展示更多廣告賺錢。

阿姆斯特丹大學的研究人員最近進行了一個實驗,結果顯示社交媒體可能注定無法擺脫這種極化的命運。

在一份尚未經同行評審的研究中,助理教授Petter Törnberg和研究助理Maik Larooij利用由OpenAI的GPT-4o大型語言模型驅動的AI聊天機械人,在模擬的社交媒體平台中,測試了六種干預策略,包括切換為按時間順序排列的動態消息、提升多元觀點、隱藏社交數據如追蹤者數量,以及移除帳戶簡介等,目的是避免平台變成極端分化的地獄。

遺憾的是,這些干預措施都未能達到理想的效果,只有部分方法帶來輕微改善。更糟糕的是,正如《Ars Technica》報導,有些措施甚至令情況惡化。例如,按時間順序排列動態雖然減少了注意力的不平等,但同時將極端內容推到頂部。

這個現實令人警醒,與不少公司承諾打造「數碼公共廣場」的理想大相逕庭。正如億萬富翁及社交平台X的擁有者Elon Musk曾形容,希望社交媒體成為一個人人和平共處的場所,但結果卻不盡人意。

無論是否有干預,社交媒體似乎注定成為極端思想滋生的高度分化溫床。

Törnberg在接受《Ars》訪問時質疑:「我們能否找到方法改善社交媒體,真正打造一個能夠實現早期承諾,讓用戶理性討論政治和公共議題的公共空間?」

他承認,利用AI並非「完美解決方案」,因為技術本身存在各種偏見和限制,但AI能更真實地模擬人類行為。

Törnberg解釋,極化不僅源自觸發情緒的內容,這些有害內容還會塑造網絡結構,進一步影響用戶看到的內容,形成惡性循環,導致「一小部分帖子獲得絕大多數關注」,即極度不平等的注意力分配。

在生成式AI興起的時代,這種現象可能會更加嚴重。

「我們已經看到很多利用平台變現的用戶,透過AI生成內容來最大化吸引力。」Törnberg說。「這些內容往往是錯誤訊息和高度極化的資訊,隨著AI模型愈來愈強大,這類內容將佔據主導。」

他坦言,傳統的社交媒體模式恐怕難以在這種情況下繼續存活。

編輯評論:

這項研究揭示了社交媒體平台在極化問題上所面臨的根本困境,令人深思。即使採取了多種策略,社交媒體的「回音室效應」仍難以根除,甚至部分干預措施可能適得其反,反映出問題的複雜性和深層結構性。

當前社交媒體的商業模式本質上依賴用戶的注意力和情緒反應,這種設計天然容易助長極端和分裂內容的擴散。AI雖然有能力模擬人類互動,但在現有結構中,反而可能加劇資訊泡沫和錯誤訊息的傳播。

未來,若要真正改善社交媒體生態,或許需要從根本改變平台的盈利模式和演算法設計,甚至考慮引入更嚴格的監管和透明度。否則,社交媒體將繼續淪為極端思想的溫床,社會的分裂也會因此加劇。

這同時提醒我們,作為用戶,應保持警覺,主動尋求多元資訊來源,避免被算法主導的內容篩選所左右,才能在這個數碼時代保持理性和清醒的思考。

Create a hyper-realistic 8K close-up body portrait of a female model, using the uploaded photo as the exact facial reference. Maintain 100% accuracy of the facial features — do not alter or modify any aspect of the face. Render the skin texture, lighting, and overall composition with photo-realistic detail, ensuring lifelike color tones and natural depth of field. A man with his original hair is sitting casually on a white cube, smiling warmly at the camera. He is wearing a cream-colored cable-knit sweater, blue jeans, and brown loafers. His legs are crossed, with one hand resting on his knee.
The background reveals a cozy and festive living room. A large, beautifully decorated Christmas tree with numerous warm lights and gold ornaments stands prominently behind him. Several wrapped gift boxes are visible at the base of the tree. To his left, another smaller decorated Christmas tree and a wreath on the wall further enhance the holiday atmosphere. The lighting is soft and inviting, creating a warm and welcoming scene. Photorealistic recreation of the iconic grocery shopping scene from Home Alone, set on a snowy winter street in New York City with yellow taxis, steam rising from manholes, holiday lights on buildings, and pedestrians in the background. In the foreground, a man (his face is 100% same as the uploaded photo), smile gently, wearing a white sweater and a light beige scarf around his neck, is taking a selfie-style close-up photo. Behind him and slightly to the right, a young boy (recreated exactly like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone) with short blonde hair, wide-eyed surprised expression, wearing a red knit hat, red scarf, beige coat, gray gloves, holding two full plastic grocery bags (one with oranges visible, the other with a carton of milk and cereal boxes). The boy is standing on the snowy sidewalk looking shocked. Cinematic lighting, cold winter atmosphere, high detail, sharp focus, realistic textures on clothing and snow, film still style from 1990s holiday movie. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection.
