Instagram now allows you to create an AI version of yourself

Meta has announced that it has started distributing AI Studio in the US. This is a tool that allows users to create versions of themselves adapted to AI, or customized AI characters of any kind.

There are two ways to interact with AI Studio: you can go to ai.meta.com/ai-studio or use the Instagram app on your phone. In Instagram, all you have to do is open the messages, start a new message, and then tap on ‘Create an AI chat.’

Next, you will be guided through a character creation wizard that will allow you to set the name, personality, tone, avatar, and slogan of your AI character. Meta has created an AI Studio Manual of 18 pages, a PDF document with instructions to make the most of AI Studio.

Meta has wanted to make AI something useful with this tool for its applications

The character you create is more than just an AI-modified avatar: it is a real AI-driven character with specific knowledge and personality. You can even set topics you don’t want your robot to talk about or accounts you don’t want it to interact with.

And yes, the responses from the AI characters are labeled as such, so you can’t make an AI replace you and interact with people pretending to be you.

To showcase what this tool can do, Meta has listed some characters created by celebrities and professionals such as chef Marc Murphy or photographer and videographer Angel Barclay.

For now, it is only available in the United States

This means that users from, for example, Europe, will not be able to create their own characters, but it also means that they won’t even be able to see AI characters created by others.

The European Union, in particular, has a specific set of rules regarding AI, and companies like Meta and Apple are taking things very slowly when it comes to everything related to AI in Europe.
