Here's what happened when I replaced my personality with the Meta AI chatbot for a day
For centuries, technology has ruled the ways in which we communicate. From the dawn of written language, to the printing press and the internet, our interpersonal relationships have evolved alongside technological progress.
In the latest instalment of this ancient symbiosis, Meta’s new chatbot, Meta AI, has arrived. Heralded as an “intelligent assistant”, the tech giant claims that its artificial intelligence will “expand your knowledge and capabilities”. As someone generally incapable of keeping up with social media messages, I put this assertion to the test. Could the bot effectively replace me in my digital friendships?
For most of us, keeping up with loved ones is a key motivator for using social media. Can Meta AI help us to maintain these valuable connections by taking the effort out of crafting an “intelligent” response?
