Instagram's Potential AI Chatbot: A New Frontier in Social Media Interaction
June 6 2023
Leaked images suggest that Instagram is developing an AI chatbot, offering 30 different AI personalities to answer questions and give advice. This follows mixed results from similar features on other social platforms, such as Snapchat’s My AI chatbot, which initially lacked appropriate age-gating features. It remains unclear which AI tools Instagram will use for its chatbot, though parent company Meta has been increasingly utilizing generative AI in its business ventures. Alongside AI development, Instagram is also rumored to be working on a standalone Twitter competitor, codenamed Barcelona, which is set to integrate with Instagram.
