Exploring the Coolness of Generative AI: Imagining Yourself in Wild Scenarios

Meta and Me: A Conversation on Generative AI

Meta: Hey, don’t you think this generative AI stuff is cool?

Me: Sure, it’s interesting but not for me.

Meta: Wouldn’t you like to create a picture of yourself doing something wild, like riding in a UFO?

Me: No, not really.

Meta: What about competing in the Olympics or fighting a dragon?

Me: Still no.

Meta: Here’s how you can do it.

Me: Okay, but I don’t really want to.

Meta: You can also do it on Facebook! Just ask Meta AI to generate a picture, and it will.

Me: Why?

Meta: Generative AI is cool. Everyone’s doing it, and look at how awesome these pictures look!

Me: They look ridiculous.

Meta: No, this is amazing! You can create anything you imagine.

Me: But these images are fake. You want me to share them with no real experience behind them.

Meta: Exactly! You can create and share whatever you imagine.

Me: I don’t see how this enhances the social media experience. It should be about real connections and experiences.

Meta: But generative AI is amazing!

Me: I understand. I’m just unsure how it fits into my personal experience.

Meta: You can do anything.

Me: But I’m not actually doing it.

Meta: You can imagine what it would be like if you did, right?

Me: …

Meta: Right?

Me: No thanks.

Meta: Wait, wait…

Me: What?

Meta: You want to chat with Snoop Dogg?

Me: Is it really Snoop Dogg?

Meta: No, it’s an AI version of him, which is even better!

Me: I’m done.
