Meta will soon show ads and other content to users based on their interactions with the company's digital assistant and related products powered by generative artificial intelligence. The social media giant announced the update to its recommendation system on Wednesday, and said it will go into effect on Dec. 16. Users will receive notifications of the change starting on Oct. 7. The move underscores how Meta is attempting to better tie its billion-dollar investments into generative AI with its core online advertising business.

Earlier this year, we introduced chat themes as a way to customize your chats. You can now use the power of Meta AI to boost your creativity, and make custom chat themes of your own. I mean, it's not your creativity, as such, but Meta AI's "creativity" in this respect. But semantics aside, more presentation options for your chats. From there, you can d escribe the image that you'd like to create.

These feature the well-known visor design popularized by Oakley and add most of the smart features found in the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), like hands-free access to Meta AI, up to 3K video recording and open-ear speakers, which Meta claims are the "most powerful" on any of its glasses to date. All versions of the Vanguard feature Oakley Prizm lenses with gold, black, road and sapphire color options.

Of course talking to Meta AI remains a key way of interacting with the glasses, but Meta hopes that adding the visual elements will enhance the chatbot experience. For example, live speech captioning and language translation is still switched on by voice-but with Meta Ray-Ban Display, you can see the translations and captions appearing in real time on the glasses rather than on your phone's screen.

Meta is weighing up partnerships with Google and OpenAI to boost AI features in its apps, according to The Information. Leaders at Meta Superintelligence Labs have discussed using Google's Gemini model for conversational responses in Meta AI, the company's main chatbot. Talks also include using OpenAI's models to power Meta AI and other social media tools. These deals would be short-term.

On the new standalone Meta AI app, swathes of users are publishing their private conversations, unaware they are sharing them publicly, raising significant privacy concerns.

The Meta AI app could soon get a paid tier, offering a premium service to users seeking more compute or additional functionality as competition heats up.
