I never expected that they'd put generative AI in WhatsApp, like, why???

it doesn't really add anything substantial to what the chat app is already good for: chatting with our fellow humans.

A lot of this is for WhatsApp Business. Meta are monetising WhatsApp. The idea is that businesses will use WhatsApp Business and the shitty AI features to (direct from their website): "Engage audiences, accelerate sales and drive better customer support outcomes on the platform with more than 2 billion users around the world."

What a cringe :(

Hmm, that makes a little bit more sense, but yes, still cringe corporate move trying to monetize on the AI craze
