In the race for AI advancement, chatbots are making waves across social media platforms like ChatGPT, Bing AI, and Google Bard.
These chatbots mimic human-like precision in answering questions and assisting with daily tasks.
Initially accessible only on specific platforms, they are now integrated into smartphones as some of the most engaging apps, thanks to the superpower of generative AI featured in Meta AI.
Meta AI
Meta AI, powered by Meta’s own large language model (LLM) called LLaMA 3, is now available on WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram.
LLaMA 3 enhances Meta AI with smarter, faster, fun, and personalised interactions. This friendly AI, trained on a vast dataset of 15 trillion tokens, generates human-like responses directly within these apps.
