The race for artificial intelligence is still in full swing. This time it’s about Instagram, the social network owned by Meta, which is currently working on the development of a chatbot endowed with artificial intelligence, TechCrunch reports on June 6 that it is based on images leaked by Alessandro Paluzzi, a generally well-informed leaker. about the news of the application.
According to these leaks, which highlight current developments on Instagram, these chatbots will be able to answer questions or give users advice. The latter will be able to choose between 30 artificial intelligence personalities and the latter will be able to offer them help in writing messages.
A social network that competes with Twitter planned for this summer
Before Instagram, other social networks have already launched chatbots equipped with artificial intelligence with mixed results. For good reason, Snapchat’s My AI, powered by Open AI’s GPT technology, had no age control features. Result: The chatbot ended up instructing a journalist, who was using an account registered as a teenager, how to disguise the smell of alcohol and weed and create an atmosphere conducive to sex.
At the moment, no one knows what AI tools Instagram plans to use to power its chatbots. For its part, while generative artificial intelligence is booming, Meta, Instagram’s parent company, has made use of this type of solution in some of its fields of activity, such as advertising sales.
So, in May, Meta announced the AI Sandbox, which helps advertisers create alternate versions of ads. The company also introduced its own artificial intelligence coding tool, CodeCompose, which is currently not available to the public.
In addition to artificial intelligence, Instagram would also be working on a social network that competes with Twitter. According to the information that has been leaked about this new platform, whose code name is “Barcelona”, it will be an independent application that will be integrated with Instagram. If the rumors are true, this Twitter clone of Instagram should see the light of day this summer, says TechCrunch.
