META has announced the release of a range of AI chatbots that are not only able to engage in conversation with users but can also function as personal assistants. The chatbots, each specializing in a different area such as gaming or philosophy, were introduced by Mark Zuckerberg.

Meta AI: Your General Assistant

The main chatbot, called Meta AI, is designed to serve as a general assistant. It can answer questions, provide content from the internet, and even generate high-quality photorealistic images for free during conversations.

Chatbots for Every Interest

Besides Meta AI, there are several other AI chatbots with unique functions. One is dedicated to offering writing tips, while another is specially created to engage with gamers and discuss their current games. Victor, an AI chatbot, acts as a virtual personal trainer to help users improve their workouts. And for fans of Snoop Dogg, there's a chatbot inspired by the rapper that acts as a dungeon master when playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Zuckerberg stated that in the future, users will have the ability to create their own AI chatbots. This will be made possible through a forthcoming tool called AI Studio, expected to be launched in the coming weeks.

BONUS AI: Meet Emu

In addition to the chatbots, Meta also revealed Emu, a new AI tool capable of generating images based on prompts within just five seconds. This tool can also be used to create custom stickers to be shared in chat apps like WhatsApp. Furthermore, Instagram will soon introduce AI editing tools that use text prompts to quickly modify photos.

The Power of Large Language Models

AI chatbots typically utilize large language models (LLMs) to function. These AI algorithms are trained on vast amounts of data, allowing them to provide information in a natural and conversational manner. LLMs have become increasingly powerful, making AI chatbots appear remarkably lifelike.

The AI Boom

Major tech companies in Silicon Valley, such as Google and Microsoft, are investing billions of dollars in the development of AI technology. OpenAI's ChatGPT AI chatbot, released in November 2022, enjoyed immense popularity. Meta, known for its focus on the metaverse, has now taken a keen interest in the field of AI.

There will be a range of specialized chatbots catering to various interests, in addition to Meta AI's versatile functions. Users will also be able to generate images instantly within conversations using the chatbots. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
