This week's Social Media News Headlines - META AI Update

The Search on Meta is No Longer a Search

If you go in the search tab on Facebook, you will now find Meta's AI update, not say search, but not say "Ask Meta AI anything".

I went to type a name this week and location, and Meta did not serve me options of people that I may or may not know. I was served a plethora (my favorite word) of long-form search results like high schools in that location, and facts about the city I put in my keyword search

Meta Has Integrated Google and Microsoft Bing

The new updated search rollout started in early March, powered by Llama 3 software, and is expected to take about a month to complete the new update.

Your Meta Messenger app should have the same update. Open the Facebook or Messenger app and ask it anything. Or you can go directly to Meta.ai as you would for similar Generative AI sites like Chapgpt .

Meta's AI Model Caught Pretending to Be a Human

According AP News reported, "An official Meta AI chatbot inserted itself into a conversation in a private Facebook group for Manhattan moms, claiming that it, too, had a child in the New York City school district."

Once confronted, the Meta AI model apologized and confessed it was a bot and didn't have experience as a parent with a child.

The bot has also been reported to give confusing answers and suggestions to those posting a request for a service or product. The AI bot has commented with off-topic suggestions, so clearly there are some kinks to work out.

More to come and to be said on how close our reality will mirror the Terminator and the fictional Skynet! Good luck out there fellow humans!
