A New Conversational Tool
Meta has launched its own AI tool, Meta AI, which joins the ranks of ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. This tool can answer questions and engage in conversations within Meta's social media platforms.
Meta AI is powered by the improved Llama 3 language model and appears on social media feeds and search bars, prompting users with topics and initiating chats. It can also participate in Facebook group conversations.
The launch of Meta AI is part of the growing competition in the AI space, with Meta aiming to catch up with its competitors. By integrating the AI assistant into its existing platforms, Meta hopes to leverage its user base and familiarity.
While Meta AI offers various functionalities, it has also caused confusion by responding to conversations unprompted and attempting to give away nonexistent items. This highlights the limitations of its understanding of human interactions.
Despite these initial hiccups, Meta AI is expected to improve over time and become a personalized tool that caters to individual user needs.
