Celebrity endorsements can do a lot for a product, but Meta is making several celebrity voices the literal ones of its Meta AI assistant.

The agreement with the celebrities will see them all as options for the AI’s voice, joining the more generic options. The reported mix is interesting because all are at or near the heights of fame, all have roles children would recognize, and all have made plenty of appearances in more ****** films and shows. 

 It’s unclear if the famous voices will require payment, though the celebrities are reportedly getting hefty paychecks for the project. Those checks ensure Meta won’t face the rancor OpenAI did over accusations that one of ChatGPT’s synthetic voices sounded like Scarlett Johansson in the movie

SAG-AFTRA is rumored to have a deal with Meta for using actors’ voices, but there’s been no announcement of whether it might be connected to this celebrity voice plan. 

Famous or Folly?

Even if the celebrity voices make Meta AI a hit, the company won’t be able to rest on its laurels for long.

Meta’s eagerness to bring celebrities into its AI projects makes sense, but the company has had some problems on the front not long ago. Meta’s Celebrity AI chatbots used celebrity likenesses for the text-based Messenger,

Still, Meta is expected to showcase a lot of AI news at the Connect conference this year so this may be only the cherry on top of the other news, boosted by the likely enthusiastic endorsement of the celebrities we’ll all be hearing speak to us soon.
