This feel like an episode ofBlack Mirror .
We can only hopeTerminator 2: Judgment Day,The Matrix, and other films about rogue artificial intelligence aren’t premonitions, because we’re getting closer, y’all. The AI celebrities are here.
Okay, so this isKendall Jenner.
And this is also Kendall.
But apparently this is NOTKendall Jenner.
It may look like her, but it’s actually Billie, an AI alter ego of the Kardashian/Jenner–clan model.
Billie (not Kendall) is one of Meta’s28 AIsthat can communicate with you on Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp.
According to the tech news sitethe Information, Meta reportedly paid millions of dollars to celebrities likeSnoop Dogg,Paris Hilton, Charli D’Amelio, and even Tom Brady to use their likenesses for AI chatbots.
The AI chatbots can answer questions and engage in real-time conversations based on the celebrities' personalities.
At the annualConnectconference in Menlo Park, California, this year, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “Advances in AI allow us to create different AI personas to help us get different things done.”
Mark added, “This isn’t just going to be about answering queries. This is about entertainment and helping you do things to connect with the people around you.”
Here are some “AI personas” with unique jobs, characteristics, andveryfamiliar faces:
They ’ll either fascinate you or frighten you .
Here’sAmber, who is a detective.
Here’sBillie, your local ride-or-die from New York.
Here’sBru, the sports-obsessed trash-talker who wants you to “step into the BruZone and prepare to have your sports takes flame-roasted.”
Here’sLorena, an ex-accountant turned traveler wandering the world.
Here’s theDungeon Master, who asks you to message him to “begin your next great story.”
Here’sCoco, a girl who’s “just vibin!”
Here’s Zach, a comedian who bases his humor on his artificial pain.
And finally, here’s Victor, a game-changing triathlete who talks about health and workout tips.
As expected, the responses on X, formerly known as Twitter, show people are super creeped out by this new technology:
If the Black Mirror universe had a marketing federal agency .
Idk , I do n’t mean hoi polloi want to spend time with fake mass .
this is so dystopian how can anyone support this 😭
The world is starting to face scary , actually it has collide with rock ‘n’ roll bottom
This pose a meaning issuance , not because of the peter itself , but due to its impact on citizenry ’s mental encryption . We’re unprepared for this , and it remains to be seen where it leads . If young individuals faced challenges with identification before , I ca n’t forebode the extent …
What s that Black Mirror sequence ? ? ?
