Meta's New AI Voices: A Chat with Celebrities

Meta has recently upgraded its AI technology, giving it the ability to not only understand and respond to voice commands but also to mimic the voices of various celebrities. Imagine asking a question and receiving an answer in the tone of John Cena or Kristen Bell! The new feature, introduced at the Meta Connect 2024 event, allows users to choose from a range of celebrity voices, including Awkwafina, Dame Judi Dench, and Keegan Michael Key. The technology behind this feature is quite impressive. Meta's AI assistant uses advanced algorithms to analyze the voice patterns and speech styles of the celebrities and then generates a realistic imitation. This means that you can have a conversation with the AI assistant, and it will respond in the voice of your chosen celebrity. But that's not all. Meta's AI is also getting new photo recognition and editing abilities. With these features, you can upload a photo to Meta AI and have it recognize and identify elements in the image. You can also use the AI assistant to help edit photos, including removing background elements, adding new elements, and changing the background. The new features will be available on Meta's social platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Messenger. The voice feature is starting to roll out this week in the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, and the rollout will continue for the next month.
