The company sees the tool, which is called \u201cBuilder Bot,\u201d as an \u201cexploratory concept\u201d that shows AI\u2019s potential for creating new worlds in the metaverse. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed off the prototype at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MetaAI\">Meta AI: Inside the Lab event<\/a> on Wednesday in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=62RJv514ijQ&ab_channel=MetaAI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pre-recorded demo video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 4\/3; object-fit: contain;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/62RJv514ijQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope;\n   picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In the video, Zuckerberg explained the process of building parts of a virtual world by describing them. He begins with the prompt, \u201clet\u2019s go to a park.\u201d The bot then creates a 3D landscape of a park with green grass and trees. Zuckerberg then says \u201cactually, let\u2019s go to the beach,\u201d after which the bot replaces the current landscape with a new one of sand and water. He then says he wants to add clouds and notes that everything is AI-generated. Zuckerberg then changes up the landscape by saying he\u2019d rather have altocumulus clouds, which is meant to demonstrate how specific the voice commands can be.<\/p>\n<p>He then points to a specific area of the water and says \u201clet\u2019s add an island over there,\u201d and then the bot creates one. Zuckerberg then issues several other voice commands, such as adding trees and a picnic blanket. He also adds the sound of seagulls and whales. At one point, he even adds a hydrofoil \u2014 a nod to one of his favorite hobbies, which<a href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/mark-zuckerberg-foil-surfing\"> later turned into a meme.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta, formerly known as Facebook, today showed off a prototype of an AI system that enables people to generate or import things into a virtual world just by using voice commands.
