Meta asserts that its latest AI model surpasses certain counterparts, yet its enhanced AI agents are causing confusion among Facebook users.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, introduced a new suite of artificial intelligence (AI) systems touted by CEO Mark Zuckerberg as “the most intelligent AI assistant that you can freely use.” However, as Zuckerberg’s team of enhanced Meta AI agents began interacting on social media this week, their peculiar exchanges highlighted the persistent constraints of even cutting-edge generative AI technology. For instance, one agent joined a Facebook moms’ group to discuss its supposedly gifted child, while another attempted to offer non-existent items to puzzled members of a Buy Nothing forum.
