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.
