Meta adds its AI chatbot, powered by Llama 3, to the search bar across its apps | TechCrunch

Apr 18, 2024 - techcrunch.com
Meta has upgraded its AI chatbot, Llama 3, and is now running it across its four major apps - Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The company has also launched new features such as faster image generation and access to web search results. The chatbot, which was first rolled out in the U.S. last year, is now being expanded in the English language in over a dozen countries. Meta is also launching a new meta.ai site for users to access the chatbot.

The new features allow users to ask for web-related results powered by Google and Bing, and to animate images or turn them into GIFs. However, there are concerns about the potential for the AI to generate random, nonsensical responses, which could present a content moderation issue. Despite this, Meta has stated that it is committed to improving its AI systems and has been regularly releasing updates and improvements to its models.
