Meta’s AI Personas have arrived, and they are weirdly strange! These chatbots are much more than the usual run-of-the-mill AI. To give them a unique twist, Meta has used celebrity likenesses to create these personas. But here’s the catch: These are not actually the celebrities themselves, just characters that have been designed to resemble them. For example, Kendall Jenner’s persona is called Billie, who offers life advice to young people. So, while you may see the faces of celebrities, you’ll actually be chatting with something akin to ChatGPT.
According to Mashable’s Cecily Mauran, chatting with these AI Personas can be quite awkward. Mauran described her conversation with the Jenner persona as the “most awkward conversation ever.” The interactions are unsettling because the chatbots are designed to keep you engaged and logged on for as long as possible. Essentially, Meta is trying to make ChatGPT more engaging by using celebrity faces.
But that’s not all. If you decide to open up to one of these AI’s and share your thoughts, be aware that your messages may not be private, especially on Instagram. The AI personas appear to lack end-to-end encryption, so your conversations may not be as secure as you’d like them to be.
Now, if you want to give Meta Personas a try, it’s super easy! Just open the chat function in Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp, and choose the “AI Chat” option. There are 28 Meta AI bots available, with 15 of them being played by celebrities. So, get ready to have a conversation with Dungeon Master instead of Snoop Dogg and remember that the face you see is not necessarily the person you’re talking to.
Meta’s AI Personas have certainly caused a stir with their strange and slightly unsettling nature. But what do you think about this latest AI venture? Are you excited to chat with celebrity-inspired chatbots, or do you find it all a bit too weird? We want to hear your thoughts – comment below and let us know!
