You know what we need more of in social media? More AI, and more ways for people to engage with the latest AI tools, so that they can get a grasp of just how advanced these generative AI functions have become. Meta is now experimenting with using generative AI to create custom images of users in different scenarios, showcasing its AI engine by displaying these images to users in-stream. Some users find these depictions bizarre and intrusive, but Meta is forging ahead with its AI tools, including AI chatbots, to cater to the growing interest in AI technology. With a significant number of users engaging with its AI tools, Meta is investing heavily in expanding its AI data centers and enhancing its capacity to establish itself as a key player in the AI race. Despite concerns about the impact of AI on social platforms, curiosity and novelty seem to be driving the integration of AI into social media, with users showing interest in creating AI versions of themselves and interacting with customized AI characters.
