Meta has launched a new, independent AI chatbot app for ChatGPT, essentially its own version, hoping to help conquer its rivals in AI races.
Well, that’s a bit new. Meta’s “Meta AI” app has actually been renamed “Meta View.” This is a companion app for Meta’s Ray Ban Stories Smart Glasses. Now they’re the same, and Meta is trying to enhance AI use on the go, along with certain personalized peers.
As explained by Meta:
“I’m launching something new Meta AI App It was built with Llama 4, the first step to building a more personal AI. People all over the world use Meta AI every day on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger. And now people can choose to experience personal AI designed around voice conversations With Meta AI Within a standalone app. ”
Meta is Meta’s AI chatbot in another app, but Meta says the new system will be more structured for conversations and before and after engagement.
“The answer is even more useful as meta AI is built to get you to know. It’s easy to talk, so interacting is seamless and natural. It’s more sociable, so you can show things from the people and places you care about. ”
Yes, I don’t know if this is the selling point that Meta is thinking. Especially considering the issue that Meta AI bots promote sexual chat with teens.
Add this concern to the persuasiveness of AI chatbots, and how people will always be quite concerned about the persuasiveness of them and the impact of more personalized conversations with AI on their involvement.
But progress is king, and as Meta fights against other AI providers for hegemony, it prioritizes development, focuses on positives, and supports its own goals.
“It also includes audio demos built with Fuldaplex’s voice technology, which allows you to test it on and off. This technology provides a more natural audio experience trained in conversational dialogue, so AI generates audio directly instead of reading written responses.”
Yes, I feel like Meta isn’t thinking through this. Or you don’t consider the mental health impacts that more conversational, more conversational, personalized AI assistants have. For example, I understand the promotion of progress, but are you sure this is a real good thing and won’t be misused or worsen the current epidemic of loneliness that is causing a major impact around the world?
“We’ve been using decades of work Personalize people’s experiences on our platform to make Meta Eye more personal. You can tell Meta AI to remember certain things about you (like traveling or learning new languages). You can also pick up important details based on the context. Meta AI Assistant also provides more relevant answers to your questions based on information you have already selected, such as your profile and the content you like or are involved in. ”
of course. Understood.
Despite these concerns, having an AI chatbot that is easy to access at any time has an advantage, and as more people buy Meta smart glasses, we can see how this can help raise interest in hardware products.
There are advantages, but I argue that this will become a bigger problem. This confirms that regulators are about to look back.
Meta also adds elements to help you better understand how to use AI bots.
“Meta AI apps include discovery feeds, places to share and explore how others use AI. You can see the best prompts people are sharing, or you can remix them to make them yourself. ”
So now you can see what others are using AI, which helps to inform you of your approach.
Finally, Meta will also update the Meta AI website, allowing you to better communicate the latest chatbots through the web.
“The web interface is optimized for larger screens and desktop workflows, with improved image generation experiences, more presets and new options for changing style, mood, lighting and colours. We’re also testing a wealth of document editors in specific countries.
Despite the concerns, there is clearly a useful element here. Overall, I think AI tools provide transformative support in a variety of ways.
The push to “win” AI races seems to rim things from a meaning and influence perspective beyond what we understand. And it can be a bigger problem than you might expect.
Meta’s new AI app now available iOS and Android. Voice conversations are available in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but personalized answers are available only to US and Canadian users from the start.
