Meta launched Meta AI for Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram, but I don’t want generative AI in chat apps.

I never expected that they’d put generative AI in WhatsApp, like, why???
It’s one of those things that everyone will be crazy about for a week and then… poof, it will just become irrelevant, because it doesn’t really add anything substantial to what the chat app is already good for: chatting with our fellow humans.
Maybe it’s Zucc’s way to get us acquainted with treating bots like humans, so one day he can finally come out as a robot and be accepted by the wider society
Some people are crazy about sites like Character.ai, and people were using chatgpt as their own therapist when it first came out. There’s an audience for these types of chatbots
Maybe they’ve run out of steam and Zuck et al are scrambling to “add value”, to the range of Meta products (from a shareholder point of view)?
Snapchat did it. Meta needs to do it, too.
It’s not about what people want, it’s about what them want people to use.
A lot of this is for WhatsApp Business. Meta are monetising WhatsApp. The idea is that businesses will use WhatsApp Business and the shitty AI features to (direct from their website): “Engage audiences, accelerate sales and drive better customer support outcomes on the platform with more than 2 billion users around the world.”
What a cringe :(
Hmm, that makes a little bit more sense, but yes, still cringe corporate move trying to monetize on the AI craze
Unnecessary feature bloat, that’s what it is.
I’m not sure the robots want him, either.
