Meta launches Meta AI app, a ChatGPT competitor that shows your AI interactions to friends
Meta has recently launched its Meta AI app, a direct competition to OpenAI's ChatGPT app. While it is exactly what you would expect from an AI app, but with an added social media-like feature. Meta explains, 'Meta AI is built to get to know you, so its answers are more helpful. It's easy to talk to, so it's more seamless and natural to interact with.' Moreover, it adds, 'It's more social, so it can show you things from the people and places you care about.' advertisementMeta AI app: Discover feed To address the elephant in the room, Discovery Feed is a feature that will show you your friends' interaction with AI. In the announcement, Meta shares an image that depicts a user asking its AI to sum them up in three emojis—something they later share with their mates. Meta AI app: Discovery Feed 'The Meta AI app includes a Discover feed, a place to share and explore how others are using AI. You can see the best prompts people are sharing, or remix them to make them your own. And as always, you're in control: nothing is shared to your feed unless you choose to post it,' it says. advertisement Only interactions that users choose to share will appear on the feed. This shared activity could help fuel viral generative AI trends, much like the recent fads where people transformed themselves into Barbie-style figures or characters inspired by Studio AI app: Voice Control With this launch, Meta has also enhanced its voice mode. It is now more 'personal and relevant, and more conversational in tone.' The app also integrates with other Meta AI features like image generation and editing, which can now all be done through a voice or text conversation with your AI assistant. Meta noted, 'We've also included a voice demo built with full-duplex speech technology, that you can toggle on and off to test. This technology will deliver a more natural voice experience trained on conversational dialogue, so the AI is generating voice directly instead of reading written responses. It doesn't have access to the web or real-time information, but we wanted to provide a glimpse into the future by letting people experiment with this.' That said, the company has also stated that this feature is not spotless for now. The users may face some technical issues and glitches. advertisementFor now, voice conversations, including the full duplex demo, are available in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand only. Meta AI, a companion for Ray-Ban Meta glassesNow that Meta is planning to bring Ray-Ban Meta glasses to India, this app has a few interesting bits. With this launch, the company has sought to merge the new Meta AI app with the Meta View companion app for Ray-Ban Meta glasses. While this is only coming true for a few regions for now, we hope that this integration will be world-wide when Ray-Ban Meta glasses arrive in India.
