Meta's AI chatbot will start speaking this week, and its new voice capabilities will come in a variety of celebrity flavors. Why it matters: AI providers are racing to expand their bots' capabilities from text- and image-making into the realm of voice as their battle to answer the world's questions continues.

The new Audio feature will offer users the option to select a voice for Meta's ChatGPT-like digital assistant from a list of five celebrities, who also include Awkwafina and Keegan-Michael Key, as well as several generic voice options, the person told Reuters.

Soon, wrestling fans will be able to talk with John Cena anytime they want to. According to a new report from Reuters, Facebook owner Meta is planning to announce it has signed a deal with Cena to be one of the voices for its new Meta AI chatbot.
