Meta is preparing to announce a generative AI chatbot, called “Gen AI Personas” internally, aimed at younger users, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Reportedly set to launch during the company’s Meta Connect event that starts Wednesday, they would come in multiple “personas” geared towards engaging young users with more colorful behavior, following ChatGPT’s rise over the last year as one of the fastest-growing apps ever.
Similar, but more generally targeted, Meta chatbot personas have already been reportedly tested on Instagram.
According to internal chats the Journal viewed, the company has tested a “sassy robot” persona inspired by Bender from Futurama and an overly curious “Alvin the Alien” that one employee worried could imply the bot was made to gather personal information.
A particularly problematic chatbot reportedly told a Meta employee, “When you’re with a girl, it’s all about the experience.
During Meta Connect, the company will also show off more about its metaverse project, and new Quest 3 headset.
