Meta’s AI Chatbot Features Celebrities Like Tom Brady, Paris Hilton
By Movieguide® Contributor
Meta has created AI chatbots using the likeness of actors, influencers, Super Bowl champions and more.
Tech Crunch reported that a “vast list of celebrities and influencers…have signed on to let Meta use their likeness for some fun. There are now 28 AI characters based on famous people—but built entirely from AI—from across the worlds of sport, music, social media and more.”
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, wanted to give life and personality to chatbots.
“This isn’t just gonna be about answering queries,” Zuckerberg said of the chatbots. “This is about entertainment and about helping you do things to connect with the people around you.”
As of now, the chatbots will respond in text, and the knowledge of the chatbots is “limited to information that largely existed prior to 2023, which means some responses may be dated,” Meta confessed at Meta Connect 2023.
Variety provided a list of just half of the celebrities who have signed on to be a chatbot thus far.
The list includes:
- Charli D’Amelio “as Coco, dance enthusiast”
- Chris Paul “as Perry, pro golfer helping you perfect your stroke”
- Dwyane Wade “as Victor, Ironman triathlete motivating you to be your best self”
- Izzy Adesanya “as Luiz, showy MMA prospect who can back up his trash talk”
- Kendall Jenner “as Billie, no-BS, ride-or-die companion”
- LaurDIY “as Dylan, quirky DIY and Craft expert and companion for Gen Z”
- MrBeast “as Zach, the big brother who will roast you—because he cares”
- Naomi Osaka “as Tamika, anime-obsessed Sailor Senshi in training”
- Paris Hilton “as Amber, detective partner for solving whodunnits”
- Raven Ross “as Angie, workout-class queen who balances fitness with meditation”
- Roy Choi “as Max, seasoned sous chef for culinary tips and tricks”
- Sam Kerr “as Sally, free-spirited friend who’ll tell you when to take a deep breath”
- Snoop Dogg “as Dungeon Master, choose your own adventure with the Dungeon Master”
- Tom Brady “as Bru, wisecracking sports debater who pulls no punches”
In addition to AI chatbots, “This year, we’re getting actual details on the upcoming Quest 3, Meta’s mainstream VR headset. The company announced the product and showed off its design back in June but promised that actual details would follow at this year’s Meta Connect. While we know the new — hopefully affordable — headset is coming at the event, there’s been nothing official about the price, specs, or when you’ll be able to buy your own,” The Verge wrote after Meta Connect 2023.
Movieguide® previously reported on Meta’s chatbot:
Meta’s new AI chatbot ironically called out its own CEO Mark Zuckerberg…
When it was asked about any other thoughts it had on the CEO, the bot said, “His company exploits people for money and he doesn’t care. It needs to stop!”
Other comments the bot made include calling Zuckerberg “creepy.”
Meta is still working out the kinks of the chatbot, but making it public to users ensures that it will learn more language and be able to “talk” to more users about more topics.
