The AI assistant AI of Meta, Meta Ai, somehow obtains a new vocal mode.
At Meta Connect 2024 Developer conference In Menlo Park on Wednesday morning, Meta announced that Meta IA can now answer questions aloud on the platforms where she is available: Instagram, Messenger, Whatsapp and Facebook. You can choose from several voices, including the celebrity AI clones that Meta hired for this purpose: Awkwafina, Lady Judi Dench, John Cena, Keegan-Michael Key and Kristen Bell.
The new Meta Ai vocal functionality is not like the OpenAi Advanced voice mode For Catwhich is very expressive and can resume emotional tones in a person’s voice. It is more like Google to be launched Live GeminiWho transcribes speech before having an AI answer and reading the response aloud using a synthetic voice.
Meta’s bets high -level talent will make a difference; According to the Wall Street Journal, He paid millions for the use of celebrity similarities. Color us skeptical, but we will reserve a judgment until we can try it ourselves.
In other AI Meta updates, the assistant can now analyze images thanks to an upgrade of underlying AI models that feed the experience. In the regions where it is supported, you can, for example, share an image of a flower that you see and ask Meta Ai of which type it is. Or you can download a photo of a dish and ask for instructions on how to do it. (Keep in mind that you will occasionally get Bad answers.)
Meta also says that he is piloting a Meta AI translation tool to automatically translate votes into Instagram Reels. The tool doubts the discourse of a creator and automatically synchronizes it, simulating the voice in another language and ensuring that the movements of the lips correspond.
Meta says it starts with “small tests” of translations on Instagram and Facebook, only with videos of creators from Latin America in the United States in English and Spanish for the moment.
