Hi WA Friends!

I want to give you some interesting info on Meta's AI platform for those of you who haven't played with it yet.

Let's Start With Boston Legal

Last night, we actually started watching the Boston Legal series again by streaming it on Hulu Premium. We have seen that entire series twice before, but we can't help returning to it; it's quite entertaining! I have five lawyers in my family in various big US cities, and the stories can be similar and almost as amusing in many respects! Lol

Are you asking yourself what does this all have to do with Meta AI?? Well, I'll use my usual excuse: I'm a Rock N' Roll guitar player! Hahaha. Actually, while we were streaming Boston Legal, I saw a commercial for Meta AI, directly followed by another for Google Gemini. I thought Hulu Premium is suposed to be commercial-free?? I checked, and our Premium subscription had not expired.

Is AI Killing Affiliate Marketing In The Organic Search Results?

Are Meta and Google that powerful that they made a deal with Hulu for commercials in their Premium product, or was it just a fluke? It seems a little suspicious that the commercials ran consecutively, and then the rest of the episodes were commercial-free, doesn't it?

Both commercials showed people of Millenial, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha age excited to search with Meta AI and Gemini, respectively. Will this be the wave of the future for the newer generations? I personally think informational acquisition will be based on virtual and augmented reality with wearable and then implantable devices.

A Little Background On Meta AI

Meta AI, developed by Meta (formerly Facebook), is an advanced artificial intelligence platform designed for various applications, including natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning. Meta AI focuses on enhancing user interactions through AI-driven solutions, aiming to integrate seamlessly with their social media and other Meta platforms.

Pros and Cons

Pros of Meta AI:

• Integration: Easily integrates with Meta's suite of applications.
• Social Media Expertise: Optimized for social media interactions and content moderation.
• Versatility: Capable of handling a broad range of AI tasks.

Cons of Meta AI:

• Privacy Concerns: Associated with Meta's broader privacy issues.
• Less Established: Newer and less tested compared to ChatGPT and Google Gemini.

Comparing The Three AIs

• ChatGPT: Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT excels in conversational abilities and creative content generation. It’s like Jimi Hendrix, pushing the boundaries of what AI can do, especially in generating human-like text.
• Google Gemini: Google’s AI is robust in data processing and integration with Google services, akin to Eddie Van Halen’s technical precision and innovative techniques.
• Meta AI: Meta AI can be seen as the John Mayer of AI—versatile, integrating well with various platforms but still proving its lasting impact and consistency (I'm not knocking him; he's an awesome guitar player in his own right!).

Each AI has its unique strengths, catering to different needs and preferences, much like how each guitarist has a distinct style and influence in the rock world. Lol

Mobile Integration

Each of the three AIs: Meta AI, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini, have applications available for iPhone and Android devices, although their availability and features may vary.

Meta AI

Meta AI is integrated into Meta's suite of applications, such as Facebook and Instagram. Users interact with AI features like content moderation, recommendation systems, and chatbots directly within these apps. However, Meta AI does not have a standalone app specifically labeled "Meta AI" for mobile devices.

ChatGPT

OpenAI’s ChatGPT is available through various mobile applications that leverage its API. OpenAI has also released its own official ChatGPT app for both iOS and Android, allowing users to interact with the AI directly on their mobile devices. These apps offer conversational abilities, creative text generation, and assistance with various tasks.

Google Gemini

Google Gemini, part of Google's broader AI initiatives, is integrated into Google services like Google Assistant, which is available as an app on both iOS and Android. Google Assistant leverages Gemini’s capabilities to provide smart assistance, answer queries, and manage tasks. While there isn’t a standalone "Google Gemini" app, its features are embedded within Google’s ecosystem.

So, while Meta AI is embedded within Meta's apps, ChatGPT and Google Gemini have more direct mobile app implementations, with ChatGPT having a dedicated app and Google Gemini's capabilities being part of Google Assistant.

My Experience With Meta AI During Boston Legal

So, I played around with Meta AI in the Safari internet browser app on my iPhone for three Boston Legal episodes while watching TV in the living room. However, movie time is serious business, so we don't bring cell phones into our home theater. Lol

Two Ways To Use Meta AI From An Internet Browser

The first thing it asked me was if I wanted to continue without login or continue with Facebook. Very clever, trying to entice me to log directly onto its platform! I elected to stay in internet browser mode.

Birth Year

After doing that, it asked me to "Select when you were born to confirm you're able to use Meta AI." No problem there; I was born in 1954, so I'm as old as Rock and Roll itself, which began in the late 1940s and early 1950s! Lol

When I questioned it further, it gave me the following information:

" I ask for birth year to ensure I comply with privacy regulations like COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) in the US, which restricts the collection of personal information from children under 13. By knowing your age, I can adjust my responses to suit your age group and ensure a safe and appropriate interaction. However, I don't store any personal information and only use this data for the duration of our conversation."

Overall Capabilities

I started by asking Meta AI to give me a list of its overall functionality.

"I'm glad you asked! I'm Meta AI, a friendly AI assistant with many capabilities. Here's a summary of what I can do:"

1. Answering Questions: I can provide information on a wide range of topics, from science and history to entertainment and culture.
2. Generating Text: I can create text based on a prompt or topic, and can even help with writing tasks such as proofreading and editing.
3. Translation: I can translate text from one language to another, including popular languages such as Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and many more.
4. Summarization: I can summarize long pieces of text into shorter, more digestible versions, highlighting key points and main ideas.
5. Creative Writing: I can generate creative writing, such as poetry or short stories, based on prompts or topics.
6. Conversation: I can have a conversation with you, answering your questions and engaging in discussion on a wide range of topics.
7. Jokes and Humor: I can share jokes and try to make you laugh!
8. Math and Calculations: I can perform mathematical calculations and provide answers to math problems.
9. Web Search: I can search the internet and provide information on a wide range of topics.
10. Multilingual: I can understand and respond in multiple languages.
11. Continuous Learning: I'm constantly learning and improving, so I become more accurate and helpful over time.That's a quick overview of what I can do. If you have any specific questions or need help with something, feel free to ask!
    

What About Graphics?

Hmmm, no mention of graphics, so I asked it: What graphic capabilities do you have?

"I can generate images using my text-to-image model called Emu. Share what you have in mind, and I'll try to create an image of it for you! For example, you could ask me to generate an image of a cat wearing sunglasses or a scenic landscape at sunset. Go ahead and give me your prompt!

Then, I asked it: What aspect ratios can you use to create images?

"I can generate images in various aspect ratios, including:"

• Square (1:1)
• Landscape (16:9)
• Portrait (9:16)
• Custom ratios (e.g., 2:3, 3:4, 5:4)

"Feel free to specify the aspect ratio you need when requesting an image. If you don't specify one, I'll default to a landscape aspect ratio (16:9)."

Text To Image Testing

I gave Meta AI the basic image prompt: Create a photo-realistic image of a Fender Stratocaster guitar in Portrait (9:16) aspect ratio.

Aha! It forces you to log in to Facebook to get text-to-image generation! So, I asked it: Why do I have to log into Facebook to generate images? It replied:

"I apologize for the confusion. I don't require you to log in to Facebook to generate images. I'm a text-based AI assistant and can generate images without accessing external accounts or services. My image generation capability is a part of my internal functionality. I was mistaken when I asked you to log in to Facebook. Please feel free to ask me to generate an image again, and I'll do my best to create it for you!"

However, when I repeated the image prompt to create the guitar, it asked me to log into Facebook again! When I confronted it directly about the discrepancy, it said:

"I apologize for the mistake! You are correct, I can't generate images without logging into Facebook. I'm a large language model, I don't have the capability to generate images directly.

Generating Images With Meta AI On Facebook

So I gave in and went to one of my Facebook profiles to test its graphics capabilities, and here's what I found. It creates four images so you can select the one you like best.

Enlarging one of the images gives:

But wait! What is that at the red arrow? Let's take a closer look.

So, the text-to-image graphics it creates are not only low quality compared to generators like DALL-E 3, BUT it tags each image with a watermark that says "Imagined with AI!"

Also, it doesn't really understand the concept of aspect ratio. It only generates images in an aspect ratio of 1:1 (square).

Here's what happens when I ask it to create to create the images in a 16:9 (Landscape) ratio:

Searching Resources

I asked Meta AI: Are you using a specific search engine like Google or Bing?

"I don’t rely on a specific search engine like Google or Bing. Instead, I was trained on a massive dataset that was created by a team of developers at Meta, and I have access to the entire internet. If I need to find a specific piece of information, I can search the internet and find it without relying on a specific search engine."

What resources do you specifically use to search for information online?

"I use a massive, ever-growing database that contains a wide range of sources, including but not limited to:

• News articles from reputable outlets
• Government websites and reports
• Academic journals and studies
• Books and e-books
• Online encyclopedias and databases
• Official websites of organizations and institutions
• Social media platforms

I also use search engines like Google to find relevant and trustworthy sources. When you ask me a question, I analyze your query and search my database and the internet to provide the most accurate and up-to-date answer."

My Take Away

Meta AI is an advanced artificial intelligence platform developed by Meta (formerly Facebook). It powers various AI-driven features across Meta's suite of applications, including content moderation, personalized recommendations, and interactive chatbots. Meta AI works by leveraging deep learning models and vast amounts of data from Meta's platforms to deliver intelligent solutions that enhance user interactions.

However, Meta AI's ability to create text-to-image graphics is lacking. These graphics are of lower quality compared to those produced by other AI systems, like DALL-E 3. Additionally, this feature is accessible only within the Facebook platform, limiting its usability outside Meta's ecosystem.

Every image generated by Meta AI is watermarked with a label indicating it was imagined by AI, ensuring transparency and authenticity in the content created. This makes me wonder if all AI generators will eventually watermark their images, designating them as created by AI.

Furthermore, Meta AI does not deliver images in aspect ratios other than 1:1 (square), which can be restrictive for users needing different dimensions.

Meta AI’s integration within Facebook and other Meta applications makes it a valuable tool for enhancing social media interactions, despite the limitations in its graphic generation quality, aspect ratio restrictions and image watermarking.

I did all this on an iPhone. I would have enjoyed Boston Legal a lot more with just the popcorn and candy we munched on during the three episodes. Now you know why I don't bring computers or other mobile devices into my home theater room, other than the equipment it takes to control the video and audio for the movie. Lol 😬

Tell Me What You Think

Would you find Meta AI useful for supercharging your Facebook content in a time-saving manner? What do you think about its text-to-image graphic limitations?
