Another chatbot called “Alvin the Alien” is designed to engage users in conversations and seek personal information to better understand humans. Some employees have raised concerns that users might perceive Alvin as designed to collect personal information, but Meta has emphasized its commitment to privacy.
Meta’s move to introduce personality-driven AI chatbots is part of its ongoing efforts to regain market share among younger users, particularly in the face of competition from TikTok. The company aims to make these chatbots available not only on traditional social media but also within metaverse applications.
