Editor's note
It's fascinating to see how Meta is leveraging AI to create more personalized experiences, but it also raises questions about the long-term sustainability and ethical implications of relying heavily on such technology. As someone who values openness and transparency, I hope Meta keeps the lid off its AI developments and invites the community to contribute and scrutinize them.

Panel 1
Meta (formerly Facebook) The irony lies in Zuckerberg’s optimistic assertion that an AI agent will generate more revenue per user than their existing apps. This implies a leap of faith in the potential of AI to surpass the profitability of established products that have billions of users. The highlight is the ironic contrast between Zuckerberg’s enthusiasm for AI and the mundane reality of people using Muse just to ask about the weather or order pizza. ---
Meta: A social media and technology company that owns platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Muse: A conversational AI agent that Meta is integrating into its services.
Panel 2
*Living room, cozy with a couch, coffee table, and a large window. A tablet lies open on the coffee table with the Meta logo. Alex, a tech enthusiast, is sitting on the couch, scrolling through the tablet.* Alex (to themselves, chuckling)
Alex: So, Zuckerberg thinks AI will make more money than our apps? Let's see how this goes.
Panel 3
*The same living room, a few moments later. Alex’s phone rings. It’s a notification from the Meta Muse app, which is now installed on the tablet. Alex looks at the phone with a puzzled expression.* Muse (text message)
Muse: Hey Alex! What's up? Do you want to know the weather or order a pizza?
Panel 4
*Living room, a bit later. Alex is laughing out loud, holding the tablet and phone together. The tablet shows the Muse app with a notification about the weather. The phone shows the same notification about ordering pizza.* Alex (laughing) Alex (still laughing, shaking head)
Alex: Wait, this is the future of AI revenue? Asking about the weather and ordering pizza?
Alex: Zuckerberg must be drinking some seriously strong Kool-Aid if he thinks this is the future.
