Meta SHOCKS The AI World With LLaMa 3

Meta's latest release, LLaMA 3, is turning heads.

Meta has embedded its AI directly into the search bars of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

As this technology becomes a regular part of our social interactions, the line between user and technology blurs more than ever before.

It's weaving AI into the fabric of everyday communication.

This integration could shift how we perceive and interact with information.

Making our digital interactions smarter but also raising questions about privacy and the limits of AI assistance.
