Meta Pulls Plug on AI Celebrity Chatbots After Lackluster Reception

The tech giant shifts focus to new AI tools as user engagement with celebrity avatars falls short.

Meta's AI chatbots, modeled after celebrities, failed to attract significant user interest.
Celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Snoop Dogg had avatars that were largely ignored by users.
Meta reportedly paid millions to celebrities for their likenesses, but the project did not deliver.
Users found the AI personas confusing and sometimes creepy, contributing to their lack of success.
Meta is now focusing on AI Studio, a tool for creating personalized AI avatars.
