They've done shit like this for over a decade now.
The whole removing the natural news feed is just so they can fuck with your emotional state and serve ads to you when you're weak.
Throw in the whole Cambridge analyitica nonsense, and you essentially have mind control. I guess most people would compare it to more of a manipulative boyfriend who gas lights you into not seeing your friends. Still not a good look.
The tech already exists, though perhaps not specifically using LLMs, which seems like overkill except maybe to boost LLM sales. And adding an LLM will just make it make wrong guesses when the tone is not enough information to determine a specific mood. They could just be trying to create patents either defensively or to use to troll and tie up smaller competitors with existing tech in court, especially if they add LLMs to their tech to interpret results.
No (from an ml sense only) all machine learning models mispredict when its wrong. Its more the transformer model can tune itself to your specific mood with relatively less feedback.
I do agree with the rest of what you're saying.
