Google reportedly working on Character.ai like chatbots based on celebrities

Google is reportedly working on AI-powered chatbots based on popular celebrities and popular YouTube influencers. It looks like the tech giant is ripping off a page from companies like Meta and startups like Character.ai, two services with similar offerings.

According to a recent report by The Information, Google’s upcoming chatbots will be powered by the in-house developed large language – Gemini. It goes on to say that the tech giant is trying to bring numerous celebrities and influencers on board and that it will also let users create their very own chatbots, a feature already available to Character.ai users.
