"Were you hoping that bots on social media would be a thing of the past? Well, don't hold your breath.
Meta says that it will be aiming to have Facebook filled with AI-generated characters to drive up engagement on its platform, as part of its broader rollout of AI products, the Financial Times reports. The AI characters will be created by users through Meta's AI studio, with the idea being that you can interact with them almost like you would with a real human on the website.
