Hilarious how my feed has moved past Muse and is now all hot and bothered over a new AI personal assistant. Meta is going to need to tweet more Muse butt memes to win back attention. This AI agent stuff is so ridiculous. The “best” examples shown are either flat-out lies or completely nonsensical. Normal people don’t want this stuff. I believe some of this is Silicon Valley starting to get bored with everything else AI. They need some new and shiny thing to keep excitement up.
