- Meta releases a new free-end Meta AI app in the 2nd quarter of this year
- Sam Altman has answered by suggesting that Openai could release its own social media -App in retaliation
- Meta releases multiple AI-related products this year
According to new rumors sent by CNBC, Meta has announced that it will release an independent app version of Meta AI to take on Chatgpt this year, causing Openai CEO Sam Alman to respond with, “OK fine maybe we will do a social app” on x social platform.
The prospect of Openai creating a social media app in retaliation may have been a joke from Altman-Hans’s follow-up post on X said “LOL if Facebook is trying to come to us and we just uno turn them, it would be so fun” followed by a laughter emoji, but it got some serious answers from users on X.
“Release GPT – just ‘Chat'” said @not_a_VC, and “Have you thought about merging with x?” asked Bojan Tunguz. However, most users seemed to believe that the world did not need yet another social media app. “A social chatgpt app would probably start a new paradigm. No one to tell how the consequences would play from it, “said Rexmonte,” Social networks are now outdated, “said Mark Lindsay, and” how many social media apps have been tried, but everyone continues to return to this dumpster four? “Asked another user.
According to CNBC, “people who are familiar with the case” say the new Meta AI app is expected in the second quarter of this year.
Meta AI -Chatboten was launched in September 2023 and can currently be accessed from its own site or from interior Meta apps such as Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram where you can chat with AI, as if you were talking to a friend. Separating AI into an independent app would turn it directly against dedicated AI-Chatbot apps such as Chatgpt, Gemini and GROK.
In January of this year, Zuckerberg responded to a post on threads (another of Meta’s social platforms) with a ‘100’ emoji after a user suggested that Meta should have its own AI-Chatbot app that could tie Metai through all its different platforms, apps and products such as Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Meta has strong AI ambitions this year. Zuckerberg has described 2025 as being the “defining year” for Meta’s Smart Glasses plans and a leaked internal memo, which is allegedly bound by Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, has teased some great things in XR and AI Tech from its reality laboratories, including six new AI hardware devices.
