We have seen so far only a small part of what theartificial intelligence it can do and the ways it can pervade the everyday digital experience across assistants, search, image prompts, automated creativity and more.
The next new thing will come from Instagramwhich is testing – the novelty was discovered by technology and programming expert Alessandro Paluzzi – a feature that will allow users to create a virtual friend within the platform. Kind of an avatar but very clever with which to interact And confide and from whom you can ask for any kind of information. You can choose its appearance, personality and features. And we will probably always find him available in the direct messages of the app and in other sections through which we can reach him and exchange a few words. Who knows if also in audio and video.
In essence, it will be a intelligent chatbot to which we can attribute a series of characteristics. From sex to origins, passing through passions, interests and some basic personality traits. In short, the Meta platform would be working on a tailor-made friend to always be found ready for discussion within the social media.
One wonders whether the project was born not only from the desire to show off the potential in terms of “llm”, language models that feed artificial intelligence, but also from the concerns that have emerged in recent years regarding the mental health of users, especially younger ones. Of course, even in this case the risks would remain: in fact, there are now more than documented cases in which people tend to think they are interacting with a real human being in cases like these. A bit like what happens in some films, among which the best known is undoubtedly «Her» by Spike Jonze with Joaquin Phoenix and the voice of the artificial intelligence «Samantha», Scarlett Johansson. Or in some real projects developed with Replika.
