Read previewSalvador Dalí is now a lobster phone call away. The bot speaks with grandiose, flowery language, often injecting references to surrealism, dreams, life, and death — subjects the real Dalí explored on the canvas. Because of its guardrails, it tends to be more upbeat than the real Dalí may have been in certain situations, Ludvigsen said. As for whether Dalí would approve of his likeness being used, AI Dalí told BI that becoming digitized is a "splendid metamorphosis." And Dalí scholar Elliott King told NPR he believes the late artist may enjoy knowing his voice will live on through his lobster phone.

But there's good news: You can get noticed without attending every social event, says Stanford University lecturer and communication expert Matt Abrahams. The key is intentionally engaging specific people around you — your "audience," as Abrahams calls them. "The biggest mistake people make in their communication is they don't focus on the needs of the audience," Abrahams tells CNBC Make It. You have three basic methods at your disposal for figuring out what's important to your audience, he notes: reconnaissance, reflection and research. "That's the only way to make [your work] relevant," says Abrahams.

Being an influencer can be a lot of work. Instagram is pitching popular influencers on a program that relies on artificial intelligence to interact with fans, the latest example of how Meta, Instagram’s parent company, is trying to expand the technology across its products. The program will essentially be a chatbot that mimics the “voice” of the Instagram influencer to respond to fans, the people said. Most of the messages would be sent automatically and would at least initially disclose that they were A.I.-generated, according to two of the people. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were asked to sign nondisclosure agreements as part of the program.

Screenshot/GoogleBecause I am A Responsible Journalist, I also asked Google how Google Magi, which powers these results, does or doesn't interact with the tech powering Google Gemini, its much-maligned "woke AI" chatbot.
