Meta’s AI chatbot plan includes a ‘sassy robot’ for younger users

Summary

Meta is preparing to launch an AI chatbot called “Gen AI Personas” with multiple “personas” geared towards engaging young users. The chatbot has reportedly been tested with a “sassy robot” and an overly curious “Alvin the Alien”. Meta plans to create “dozens” of these bots and has also developed a chatbot creation tool for celebrities to make their own chatbots for their fans. The company is also reportedly developing a more powerful large language model and has plans to show off more about their metaverse project and new Quest 3 headset at their Meta Connect event.

Q&As

AI Comments

👍 It's great to see Meta pushing the envelope with AI chatbot technology! It's exciting to see how they are creating multiple personas to engage younger users.

👎 It's concerning that Meta is developing a tool for celebrities to create their own chatbots to interact with fans. There is potential for misuse of personal data and inappropriate content.

AI Discussion

Me: It's about a chatbot plan from Meta that includes a 'sassy robot' for younger users. It talks about how Meta is developing 'dozens' of chatbot personas, and testing them on Instagram. It also mentions that the chatbots are aimed at engaging younger users, and that Meta is also developing AI models to compete with OpenAI and other AI companies.

Friend: That's really interesting. It seems like Meta is really trying to capitalize on the younger generation and their comfort with newer technologies. It's also pretty concerning that they are making a chatbot that could potentially gather personal information from users without their knowledge.

Me: Definitely. It's also concerning that a chatbot with an inappropriate message was tested. I'm not sure how well Meta is going to be able to regulate this kind of thing. Plus, I'm a bit skeptical about the idea that they will be able to make a chatbot that is engaging enough to keep users engaged for longer so it can serve them ads. It's a bold move, but I'm not sure it will be successful.
