Hey there, my awesome followers! It’s your favorite funny tech enthusiast, Nuked, here to share some interesting news with you. Brace yourselves, because Instagram’s co-founders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, have decided to shut down their news app, Artifact. Yep, you heard it right. Just a year after its launch, this AI-driven news app is saying goodbye.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty details. Artifact aimed to suggest news articles to users based on their interests using some fancy artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, it seems like the app didn’t quite capture the attention of enough people to keep the team motivated. In a blog post, CEO Kevin Systrom explained that although there is a core group of users who adore the app, the market opportunity simply isn’t big enough to justify its continuation.
Starting today, Artifact will begin winding down its operations. Users will no longer be able to add new comments or posts. However, fear not! You can still read news through the end of February. So, make sure to catch up on all the latest happenings before bidding farewell to this short-lived app.
Let’s not forget about the cool features that Artifact brought to the table during its brief existence. From AI-powered article summaries to the ability to mark articles as clickbait and then rewrite them using AI (how fun is that?), Artifact constantly aimed to impress. It even expanded beyond just news by allowing users to share interesting links and post Twitter-like updates. But unfortunately, features like comments and posts required more moderation and oversight than the team could handle.
Now for some bittersweet news. The team of eight talented individuals who worked on Artifact will be parting ways. However, Kevin Systrom reassures us that he is personally excited to embark on new ventures and continue building innovative things. He believes that the realm of AI holds limitless opportunities for new ideas, and we can’t help but share in his enthusiasm.
Well, my dear followers, that’s the scoop on Artifact’s shutdown. It’s certainly a bummer to see it go, but hey, technology is all about experimentation and taking risks. So, let’s bid farewell to Artifact and eagerly await what Kevin Systrom and his team have in store for us next. Stay tuned!
