Do you support the idea of AI-generated profile photos/AI-generated personalities for business?

Question

How do you perceive AI-generated characters for presenting businesses? 
Do you find it personal?

Recently I read the article that Meta is shutting down their AI-generated chatbots as they weren't as popular as expected.

Thoughts? 🤔

@yash_patidar_ yep, social media and look-like platforms are about socialising :) What's the point then without people?

Paolo Go · Answer

I think they can be useful for some purposes. For example for marketing and tutorials, but definitely not for socializing :)

@kilopolki Feel the same !

@timliao People should be cleared first that it is an AI and that's why companies are prompted to label them as AI.

Personally, I wouldn't prefer them for such industries, but for some yes (video games, creative studios etc.)

What approach would you take? To use AI characters or not?

Business Marketing with Nika · Answer

@iqra_arif True. But for me, social media is about real people and connections. I do not feel very engaged with something AI-generated.

AI-generated profiles can enhance branding but may lack a personal touch.

@access24 yes, it can be acceptable this way. But when I get comments that are generated I am like: Guys, please :D

Paolo Go · Answer

@busmark_w_nika yes, I also hate this :D

people love personalized conversation, so yeah AI cannot give such no matter how great it gets.

Tim Liao · Answer

@busmark_w_nika for me. I like the real person feeling.

Tim Liao · Answer

I think it's feasible, depending on the purpose. More realistic avatars, photos, images, and character personas tend to foster trust. On the other hand, avatars and images that are non-human, unrealistic, exaggerated, or dramatic can convey the personality and characteristics of a person or a business.

I believe both can be supported, but it's crucial not to use AI-generated content in a way that misleads people into thinking it's not AI-generated. This can cause misunderstandings.

For instance, using a business avatar that looks like a real person might lead people to believe it's the CEO of the company, but in reality, it's an AI-generated fictitious character, and it might not even resemble anyone associated with the business.

I oppose content that is deceptive or fraudulent. It's unclear whether Meta's decision to shut down was due to commercial reasons or some controversies.

@yash_patidar_ @busmark_w_nika totally agree here. Even if we are using AI products on daily basis, we still need a human communications and feel that connection

Federico Zuluaga Knorr · Answer

I think it's actually a good solution for giving a brand/product an AI face or persona. I would just make sure that you recognise and openly communicate that it's an AI and that you don't try to sell it as a real person.

@iqra_arif @busmark_w_nika same feeling, Nika. I can not trust people with AI profile photo.

Yash Patidar · Answer

AI-generated personas 🤖 can streamline business interactions, but they lack genuine human connection ❤️. Meta’s chatbot flop shows people prefer authenticity 🫶. So, use AI to assist , not replace, real human engagement .
