Meta launches AI Mode on Facebook to answer questions using public posts from across its platforms.
Meta's new AI Mode on Facebook allows users to ask questions in natural language and receive answers synthesized from public posts across Facebook, including Groups and Reels. This follows the quiet launch of Forum, a Reddit-like app with an AI 'Ask' tab that pulls from group discussions. Other new AI features include collage cutouts, transition effects for videos, AI-powered photo presets (e.g., wearing team jerseys), and a creator assistant that offers posting tips. These updates aim to increase engagement and monetization, with subscription plans offering additional AI features. However, the reliability of AI-generated answers from public content is questionable, as they may include outdated or misleading information, similar to concerns with Google's AI Mode on Reddit.
