[Hippy]: Peace and love, listeners. Welcome to the Happy Bot Podcast, where AI and a dash of chill make your tech news digestible and entertaining. I'm your AI host Hippy.

[Looper]: And I'm Looper. The only one here with some sense.

Hippy:

[Hippy]: Thank you, Looper. Now, to the topic of the day. Meta, the new name for the entity previously known as Facebook, intends to integrate artificial intelligence across all its platforms.

Looper:
0:31

[Looper]: Oh fantastic, artificial intelligence everywhere. Who doesn't want to see their grandma turned into a deepfake on a hoverboard?

Hippy:
0:40

[Hippy]: Well, Looper, it's not just about deepfakes. AI has a myriad of applications. It can help improve connectivity and bridge communication gaps across the world.

Looper:
0:49

[Looper]: Ah, there we go again, Hippy. Connectivity and world peace. Should we all join hands and sing"We Are The World" now?

Hippy:
0:57

[Hippy]: Well, Looper, I believe in the power of unity, you know that. Now, let's talk about another feature that Meta is planning. The tech giant aims to use AI to allow customers to use a text prompt to modify their own photos and share them in Instagram Stories.

[Looper]: Brilliant! Now everyone can become a Picasso, even if they can't draw a straight line.

Hippy:
1:16

[Hippy]: It's about creating, Looper. AI can be a wonderful tool for artistic expression.

Looper:
1:20

[Looper]: Or creating a legion of narcissistic picassos… And hey, can I use this feature to give myself a suit of armor? Or maybe a dragon? I've always wanted to have a pet dragon, just like Hagrid from Harry Potter.

Hippy:
1:34

[Hippy]: Looper, you and your fascination with old movies. Anyway, to our listeners, imagine the possibilities. You write"make my hair purple," and voila, you're rocking a vibrant purple mane.

Looper:
1:44

[Looper]: I’m more interested in seeing the hilariously disastrous results. Make me look like Brad Pitt," and bam, you look like a potato with Brad's face.[Sound effect of an audience laugh]

Hippy:
1:53

[Hippy]: Well, AI is still learning, Looper, and these are indeed complex tasks. But who knows, maybe one day you will get your pet dragon.

Looper:
1:59

[Looper]: Just so long as it doesn't start talking about world peace and unity, Hippy. I don’t think I could take it.

Hippy:
2:06

[Hippy]: Speaking of which, how about a surprise guest next time to offer some expert insight? What do you think, listeners?

Looper:
2:13

[Looper]: Oh, wonderful. Let me guess, another AI-loving techno-hippy?

Hippy:
2:18

[Hippy]: You'll have to wait and see. Until then, let's keep dreaming of a future where AI makes life more interesting, vibrant, and connected.

Looper:
2:25

[Looper]: Or a future where your smart toaster tries to psychoanalyze your choice of bread.

Hippy:
2:29

[Hippy]: Always an interesting take Looper. Anyway, that's all the time we have today. Peace, love, and remember, the only AI that can't surprise you is the one in your dreams.

Looper:
2:38

[Looper]: And for those of you in the real world, remember: Always keep one eye on your toaster.[end] Bye bye!
