Have you noticed something new in Meta’s apps lately, like Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp? That’s right, an artificially intelligent chatbot!
You can now interact with Meta AI inside these apps by asking questions or making requests like “What’s the weather in New York this week?” or “Create a poem about two dogs in San Francisco.” The chatbot responds instantly with creative outputs, like crafting a poem or generating an illustration of a specific scenario.
Meta AI is Meta’s answer to the rise of intelligent chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Bing AI. It even features an image generator that competes with Adobe’s Firefly, Midjourney, and DALL-E.
What sets Meta’s AI assistant apart is its integration into widely-used apps, making it the most accessible form of generative artificial intelligence for everyday users.
In a recent Instagram post, Mark Zuckerberg claimed that Meta AI is now the smartest AI assistant available for free use.
While Meta AI is still in its early stages and may not always provide accurate responses, it offers a fun way to engage with friends through its image-generating capabilities.
Although Meta AI is not perfect and struggles with certain types of queries, it shows potential for enhancing communication and expression in a unique way.
It’s not a search engine
One area where Meta AI falls short is in basic search queries. It struggles with tasks like looking up recipes or finding flights accurately.
Don’t ask it to count
Meta AI, like other chatbots, has difficulty with numbers and counting. It’s best used for word-focused tasks and studying.
It’s a fine study guide
Meta AI shines when editing or summarizing text, making it a useful tool for studying or improving writing.
You can use it for fun emojis
One of the most exciting features of Meta AI is its ability to generate creative images, adding a new dimension to communication and expression.
