Meta is experimenting with an artificial intelligence system that allows individuals to describe virtual environments and build sections of them, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated a sample today at a live event. Builder Bot, a proof of concept, could someday attract more people to Meta’s Horizon “metaverse” virtual reality experiences. It may also help to enhance the creative AI technology that underpins machine-generated art.
Starting with directions like “let’s go to the beach,” which causes the bot to generate a cartoonish 3D environment of sand and water around him, Zuckerberg guided viewers through the process of creating a virtual area using Builder Bot in a scripted demo video.
