Meta will make AI bots more prominent in WhatsApp, a feature nobody really requested from the otherwise great chat app.

Meta’s popular messaging app WhatsApp is testing a new design that gives prominent space to a suite of AI chatbots. The design, currently only accessible through the app’s Android beta, adds a dedicated tab for AIs on the app’s homescreen.

WhatsApp plans to introduce AI bots for user conversations, offering a variety of personalities to chat with. These bots could include anime characters, advice specialists, and more, adding an entertaining and educational aspect.

Meta Platforms trained its AI models using pirated versions of copyrighted books, with the approval of its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. According to newly disclosed court papers, a group of authors is alleging that the social media giant knew they were using pirated work to train their AI systems.

Meta allegedly used copyrighted journals, books and other materials from the LibGen dataset to train its Llama AI models.
