Meta AI Tested: A Look Into Its Value—Free Access, But Does It Justify Its Existence?

Meta AI Review: How Llama 3 Powers the New Chatbot Experience

Meta’s latest large language model, Llama 3, fuels its newly branded “Meta AI,” a chatbot integrated across its various platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. So how does this model compare to other conversational AI systems? While it often recycles web search results and doesn’t shine in any particular area, the accessibility of free usage is a welcoming aspect.

You can access Meta AI for free via Meta.ai or through Meta's social media applications, including Instagram and Facebook. Though it was available prior to this launch, the introduction of Llama 3 and the new Imagine image generator has prompted Meta to market it as a gateway for those curious about artificial intelligence. You might find yourself using it unintentionally, especially since it has replaced the traditional search bar in some apps.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg even asserts that he envisions Meta AI as “the most used and best AI assistant in the world.” Ambitious goals, indeed.
