Facebook’s new hook for youngsters, an AI chatbot with multiple personalities

Meta is gearing up to introduce a new generative AI chatbot called “Gen AI Personas”. This chatbot is aimed at younger audiences and will have multiple “personas” that will engage with young users through vibrant behaviour, reportedly set to be introduced during this week’s Meta Connect.

According to reports, Meta has already tested similar chatbot personas on Instagram, but those were designed for general users. Meanwhile, these bots are designed to engage users and may have productivity skills such as coding assistance.

The Wall Street Journal has reported that Meta has over a dozen different chatbot personas coming, including a “sassmaster general” inspired by Bender from Futurama, with superior intelligence sharp wit, and biting sarcasm.
