Interestingly, Meta AI will also come with the ability to access real-time information from the internet right from the get-go owing to the partnership with Microsoft Bing and also comes with image generation abilities akin to others in the market like OpenAI's DALL-E 2 or Adobe's Firefly.
Apart from Meta AI, the social media behemoth has also unveiled 28 AI chatbots. Meta says that these AIs will have more ‘personality, opinions and interests’. Embodied by different cultural icons and influencers like musician Snoop Dogg or former Super Bowl winner Tom Brady, these AI bots will be available to message on Instagram and WhatsApp.
The new fantasy character-based bots have started rolling out in the US and Meta says it will soon add new characters played by notable faces like Bear Grylls, Chloe Kim and Josh Richard.
