This initiative will fail like the Metaverse did.

People actually use AI. People do not use virtual reality headsets.
What hurts is that these headsets in the right hands and backed by the right company could be so useful.

But who in their right minds trusts the people in Meta?

It is frustrating, because I really enjoyed my Valve Index and want a replacement and Meta has some of the best VR tech in the world, but I've waited 6 years for Valve to release their new headset to buy a replacement, simply because Meta can't be trusted.
Well at least we know it’s coming.
Steam Frame soon™
AI doesn't respond to ads by buying products.

People out of work don't either.

Even people with jobs don't go to FB or Instagram hoping to read AI-generated slop.

Meta is about to find out all the above the hard way.

Which is meaningless for the purpose Meta is building it.
