Meta’s Bold Move: Creating AI Versions of Influencers on Instagram
[[REWRITTEN]]
Look, I don’t know why Meta is convinced that enabling people to make AI bot versions of themselves is something that will have real, tangible value to users. But whatever the reason, it is indeed looking to facilitate such, with new screenshots showing its evolving AI bot creation framework.
As you can see in these examples, Instagram is developing the next stage of its AI bot creation platform, which would be built into the app, and would enabling users to: “Create an AI version of yourself.” Though the focus is likely creators, with Instagram previewing the coming option back in April, as an extension of its celebrity-influenced AI chatbots.
Meta’s celebrity bots, for example, can be useful in some circumstances, in providing guidance on recipes, fitness plans, etc. But it’s not the fact that they reply in the style of a celebrity that adds value. In fact, I would argue that this adds nothing at all to the process.
Essentially, I don’t understand why a company that’s built around a foundation of connecting people is now looking to connect people with bots, and facilitate virtual engagement, that, if anything, takes people away from actual engagement with actual humans.
Meta’s been developing this new AI bot creation process for some time, and these latest screenshots do suggest that it’s getting closer to launch. So get ready to chat with an AI version of your favorite influencer in the comments. A new age indeed.
