There is a catch, however: Meta would really like to continue improving Meta.ai, and to do so it's only offering image generation if you sign into your Facebook account.
Meta joins other LLMS or AI chatbots like Google Gemini, Microsoft's various flavors of Copilot, Anthropic's Claude AI (used within Discord), and other sites offering AI solutions.

But it's the "software" version of Microsoft's AI vision that's intriguing. Microsoft's last feature update of Windows 11 may have introduced AI PCs, but Microsoft is moving more aggressively to a future where AI is more tightly integrated into the operating system. Microsoft appears to have a more formal definition of an "AI PC" waiting in the wings, and we know that it includes a
