Instagram is rolling out AI chatbot versions of creators, Mark Zuckerberg says

Yet another piece of AI news makes one wonder, "Who asked for this?" Meta is rolling out AI chatbots based on real creators.

That's right! You might soon be able to DM with an AI chatbot on Instagram that a creator made to mimic themself. Isn't that...something?

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself made the announcement.

"Rolling out an early test in the U.S. of our AI studio, so you might start seeing AIs from your favorite creators and interest-based AIs in the coming weeks on Instagram. These will primarily show up in messaging for now and will be clearly labeled as AI," he said.

Popular creators likely get more messages than they can begin to parse through, so this will be a way for them to outsource that work to AI. Though one could say — and I would say — talking with a chatbot is far from having a genuine conversation.

Instead of having a human interaction with a creator or celeb you admire, you can speak to some artificial amalgamation of their personality. A shadow of the real thing. Plato would be proud.

TechCrunch reported that Meta will begin the rollout with just 50 creators and a limited number of Insta users before expanding it over the next couple of months and then doing a full launch by August.

Maybe some folks will find the experience novel, but it feels like another AI solution in need of a problem. There is something so lonely about chatting with an AI version of a real person. Anyway, you'll soon be able to do just that on Instagram.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...
