Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, is continuing its push into artificial intelligence with the development of its own version of ChatGPT and the implementation of Instagram's AI 'personas'. In addition to these features, Meta has now announced a new AI image generation and editing feature that will be coming to Instagram soon.The Meta AI assistant, similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard, is a general-purpose assistant that can help with planning and organizational tasks. It will also offer the ability to generate images via the prompt '/imagine'. Users will be able to show the assistant a photo they wish to post on Instagram and ask it to apply various effects such as a watercolor effect or black and white conversion.
Alongside the assistant, Meta is rolling out a roster of 28 AI characters based on celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Mr. Beast, Paris Hilton, and Snoop Dogg. Users can chat with these 'personas' directly and even ask them personal questions. The characters' profile images will animate based on the topic of conversation, adding a visual element to the interaction.
Meta's integration of AI into its apps shows a deep understanding of user needs and preferences. By having the assistant readily available within the app, users don't need to leave the app or switch between different platforms to engage with the assistant. This convenient and user-friendly approach could make Meta the AI assistant of choice for many people.
With its large user base, Meta has the potential to become the go-to AI assistant for everyday purposes. Users won't need to download a separate app or create a new account, making the assistant easily accessible. This strategic move by Meta could pose a challenge to ChatGPT creators OpenAI, as Meta's integration into popular apps may attract a significant number of users.
