Ever wanted a companion that’s wired just the way you want? Meta might be onto something that’s reminiscent of the movie “Her”!
Recently, Meta gave a glimpse of its celebrity-inspired AI chatbots that are accessible through Messenger, WhatsApp, and IG Direct. But they didn't stop there. The tech giant dropped hints about users crafting their own chatbots, imprinted with their personal images, styles, and even voices.
Digging into the nitty-gritty of Instagram's back-end, Alessando Paluzzi, an app researcher, unveiled tantalizing screenshots of this forthcoming feature. It suggests users can fashion their AI persona's gender, conversation style, interests, and even profile images. Quite a sci-fi scenario, isn't it?
While Meta might not be aiming to recreate the heartfelt bond from the movie “Her”, there's potential for users to cultivate unique relationships with their digital creations. Will this be the latest trend? Or will the allure of a customized AI chat fizzle out soon? If there's any magic in creating your virtual friend, perhaps that bond might keep users enthralled.
But it does raise eyebrows. Is it innovative or eerily unsettling? With loneliness being a modern-day plague, perhaps AI chatbots could be a soothing balm for isolated souls.
The real game-changer? Meta hinted at training these chatbots with distinctive datasets, paving the way for enhanced and tailored engagement experiences.
As we wait with bated breath, the timeline for this chatbot marvel remains shrouded in mystery. But with the tidbits we've seen, Meta is poised to unleash this feature sooner than we think.
