The Celeb Chat

Imagine having a conversation with your favorite celebrity, like John Cena or Kristen Bell, without ever leaving your living room. Thanks to Meta's AI chatbot, it's not just a fantasy anymore. The tech giant has secured deals with some big-name actors to lend their voices to the chatbot, making it feel more like a real-life interaction. The news might seem surprising, but it's actually been in the works for a while. Last month, we reported that Meta was negotiating with actors to use their voices in their AI projects. Now, those deals are reportedly final, and we can expect to hear the likes of Awkwafina and Judi Dench speak to us in just a few days.

But here's the best part: you won't just be limited to these celebrity voices. There will also be more generic options available, catering to those who prefer a more neutral tone. The chatbot will be available in the US and other English-speaking regions, with no word on any other specific locations just yet. Meta plans to announce the new voice options at their Connect conference, where we can expect to learn more about their AI projects. For now, it's exciting to think about the possibilities of having a chat with our favorite celebrities, right in the comfort of our own homes.
