You can finally ask a question and get the answer in John Cena’s voice.
Mark Zuckerberg announced at the Meta Connect 2024 developer conference that Meta’s AI assistant, Meta AI, can respond back to questions you ask out loud on Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Facebook.
These voice responses, Zuckerberg said, will be “one of if not the most frequent ways we interact with AI.” And it’ll answer in AI clones of celebrities including John Cena, Awkwafina, Dame Judi Dench, Keegan-Michael Key, and Kristen Bell.
According to The Wall Street Journal, it’s been a pretty expensive endeavor, costing Meta millions to use the likenesses of these celebrities. This comes just a few months after Meta axed its Meta AI celebrity avatars, those odd characters “embodied by celebrities” like Kendall Jenner, Snoop Dogg, and Tom Brady.
