Meta’s Ambitious Push for AI Chatbot in India
Users may not be overly excited about Meta’s new AI chatbot, but it’s pushing it out anyway, with Indian users now set to experience the wonder that is Meta’s most advanced AI chatbot tool.
After testing it with Indian users over the last few months, Meta is now rolling out its new AI search element to Indian users, beginning with English language queries.
Meta is expanding access to the tool, which will bring its Llama 3 powered chatbot to Facebook’s biggest user nation, where 378 million people access the platform every month.
However, reception for Meta’s AI chatbot has been mixed, with many users expressing frustration in trying to conduct a basic search in the app.
Part of the problem could be that Facebook’s older user cohort may be confused as to what the new AI search functionality actually is, and how it works, leading to less than satisfactory results in their efforts.
Overall, the insertion of generative AI in social media apps may be seen as intrusive and lacking in real value beyond novelty.
