Meta (formerly Facebook, formerly Thefacebook, formerly a Harvard proof-of-concept for judging people, and before that, presumably, a flicker in Mark Zuckerberg's eye) is lacing up its digital running shoes and entering the artificial intelligence (AI) rat race. The social media giant, yet to back down from a challenge, will now pit its tech prowess against OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard in the evolving marathon of generative AI. In a move that has left economists astounded and pondered whether the age-old adage "if you can't beat them, join them" holds some water, Meta's plan to release a commercial version of their AI model was revealed. And who can blame them? After all, when everyone else is running, staying put only adds to the spectacle. The Financial Times broke the news today, citing anonymous sources apparently fluent in decoding Zuckerberg's cryptic Facebook statuses. The new contender in AI is an unidentified software powered by large language models (LLMs). The advanced model mimics human language and generates texts, images, and codes. Rumors say that Meta's SuperBot will not only create the perfect posts but also automatically serve you facebook ads based on the dreams it interprets when you mention them in your chat. Other sources claim it may also be able to fabricate a refreshing and culturally diverse AI form of a dad joke. Time will tell. "Within Meta's secret labs, our AI is honing its skills, working on capturing the subtleties of human emotions, like the feeling of existential dread on Monday mornings or the euphoria from meme immortality," shared an inside source, as they grimaced at the flickering 'like' button on their outdated Facebook app. The tech giants Google and Microsoft, on hearing this development, reportedly shrugged with an indifference rivaling that of the youths to Facebook's name change to Meta. As Meta rushes to catch up with the frontrunners in the AI race, its CEO's enthusiasm seems palpable, and by palpable, we mean posting cryptic status updates like 'Relax, the robots are coming!' But with this new endeavor, we wish Meta all the best – after all, 'A' for effort, right? More as it emerges, whether we like it or not.
