Meta unveils AI chatbots to rival ChatGPT including ‘personal assistant’ and virtual Snoop Dogg bot

META has revealed a host of AI chatbots that you can talk to and that can even work as your assistant.

Mark Zuckerberg debuted the chatbots, all of which have different specialties, including gaming or philosophy, on Wednesday.

The first is called Meta AI, which Zuckerberg described as a general assistant.

It can answer questions, surface content from the internet, and even generate high-quality photorealistic images in your chat for free.

One chatbot is designed to give you writing tips, while another is designed to chat to gamers about what they’re playing.

There’s even an AI called Victor that is a virtual personal trainer to help you improve your workouts.

And there's a Snoop Dogg-inspired chatbot that works as a dungeon master for people playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Zuckerberg said that, one day, general users will be able to create their own AI chatbots.

This will work using a new tool called AI Studio, which will "open in the coming weeks," Zuckerberg said.

They’ll have profiles on Instagram and Facebook, and will be embodied with avatars that also live inside the metaverse.

“We don’t think there’ll be one super intelligence that we’ll interact with,” Zuckerberg said.

Instead, the tech mogul suggested that we’ll speak to multiple AIs for different things.

Meta also announced a new AI tool called Emu that can generate images based on prompts in as little as five seconds.

This tool can also be used to create custom stickers that can be sent to friends in chat apps like WhatsApp.

AI editing tools will also be coming to Instagram in a month that use AI to quickly modify your photos – again, based on text prompts.

AI chatbots typically work using large language models, or LLMs.

It’s a type of AI algorithm that is trained on huge troves of data and can then provide you with information in a natural way.

LLMs are becoming increasingly powerful – allowing AI chatbots to seem eerily lifelike.

Silicon Valley tech giants are pumping billions of dollars into developing AI.

OpenAI’s wildly popular ChatGPT AI chatbot launched in November 2022 and quickly became a smash hit.

Now all tech companies are pouring cash into AI tech, in particular Google and Microsoft.
