Meta AI, can you write me a spotlight?
Got a craving for dinner but not sure what to cook? Need some outfit inspo? Meta AI has got your back. Zuck dropped a bombshell on Instagram this week: a fresh, revamped version of Meta AI is on the horizon, set to invade Facebook and WhatsApp.
The news stole the spotlight not only for Meta AI's new features but also for Zuckerberg's sudden transformation into a bearded, meme icon. He boasts this iteration as the smartest AI assistant out there. Powered by the cutting-edge Meta Llama 3 language model, this AI promises to be more potent than ever before, due to its integration into familiar search boxes and creation features.

However, there's a catch: you can't just swipe it away like a pesky notification, it's here to stay, whether you like it or not.?
But with AI becoming an integral part of our daily lives, having Meta AI embedded in our phones is a significant milestone in the evolution of AI in social media. The downside? Like all AI-driven innovations, the introduction of the Meta AI chatbot brings its own set of hurdles. The chatbot's occasional dissemination of false information raises concerns about its trustworthiness, sparking fears of ingrained biases shaping social media dynamics and societal perceptions.
