While it is twice knowledgeable and improved by 31% on conversational tasks compared to its predecessors, Meta noted that it can still perform in unfavorable ways.
You’re probably one of those folks who fell in love with the humor of the AI robot named TARS in the Interstellar movie. We heard it crack jokes and deliver remarks like a cool guy at a bar. Unfortunately, our current technology is still far from producing such robots that can converse with us casually and naturally like a living person. Nonetheless, Meta is taking a new step to make it possible by introducing its latest AI research project, the BlenderBot 3 chatbot.
BlenderBot 3 is just one of Meta’s projects in its BlenderBot series, which allows AI to “carry out meaningful conversations” through the help of internet data and long-term memory. Compared to others, BlenderBot 3 is said to be using a much larger language model that is 58 times the size of BlenderBot 2. In particular, it is trained using a massive amount of publicly available language data with countless conversations about a wide variety of topics, from recipes to interesting places and tourist vacations.
On the other hand, the main highlight of BlenderBot 3 is its ability to learn from the conversation it is having with different individuals on the web. Meta says it will use this technique to gather feedback from people about the model, which it will use to improve its responses.
