According to a Meta spokesperson, these generative AI features are available to anyone aged 13 and up. Importantly, the creators of these character AI bots do not have access to the private messages exchanged between users and their bots.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasized the company’s mission during a recent earnings call, stating that the AI Studio is a key part of Meta’s goal to empower users to “create their own AIs.”
AI Romance
Within the expansive collection of chatbots created by users on Instagram, a significant number are branded as digital girlfriends or boyfriends. This trend highlights the growing interest in AI romance, where individuals form emotional connections with their AI companions.
While AI romance is an obvious use case, not everyone is using Meta’s tech tools to create AI love. Meta’s AI Studio features a wide range of bots, from animal-themed characters to inspirational companions.
Some bots offer life advice, discuss alcohol and drug recovery, or simply provide compliments and inspiration.
