Meta developing AI chatbot with personality of Abraham Lincoln 🤖
Meta, the owner of Facebook, is reportedly developing a range of artificial intelligence (AI) powered chatbots with distinct personalities, including one with the persona of Abraham Lincoln, according to a report by the Financial Times. The tech giant is considering launching the Lincoln chatbot and a surfer chatbot that offers travel recommendations as early as September.
This development comes as Meta, like its rivals Apple and Microsoft, is aggressively focusing on AI. Last month, Meta announced it would give away the code behind its AI large language model, Llama 2, for free, with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg arguing that "open source" AI is safer and more secure.
The report also mentions that Meta is struggling to retain users of Threads, its new Twitter-like platform, which has lost more than half of its users after record signups following its launch last month. Despite this, Meta reported a healthy rise in advertising revenue last week after a difficult year that has seen the company let go of more than 21,000 employees.
Other tech companies have also launched chatbots with personalities, including the Andreessen Horowitz-backed start-up Character.AI, whose language models mimic figures such as Tesla chief executive Elon Musk and Nintendo character Mario source.

Meta’s Instagram to Include Labels for Content Generated by AI 🤖
The article from Fagen Wasanni Technologies discusses Meta's plans to include labels for content generated by AI on Instagram. Screenshots shared by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi suggest that Meta is developing new generative AI features for Instagram, including labels that allow creators to identify images that were "generated by Meta AI." This move is in line with Meta's intent to help users discern when AI is used to create content, especially as generative AI tools gain popularity and concerns about their potential misuse rise.
Meta, along with six other AI companies, recently committed to implementing AI safety measures, such as adding watermarks to AI-generated content. While specific details about Meta's consumer-facing generative AI plans remain undisclosed, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has hinted at the development of new products that will utilize the Llama 2 model across their services. Zuckerberg emphasized the potential of AI in enhancing user connections and self-expression by offering creative tools for content sharing, interactive agents, and more.
In addition to the generative AI features, Paluzzi also discovered indications of other tools in development for Instagram. These include a "message summary" feature to summarize lengthy direct messages and new artistic tools for editing Stories. Meta has declined to comment on the screenshots and the reported features. However, the leaked information suggests that the company is actively exploring ways to integrate AI capabilities into Instagram, further expanding its offerings to meet the evolving needs of its user
