Character.AI Appoints Meta’s Ex-VP of Business Products as CEO: Because What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

In a move that has everyone asking 'But why though?', Character.AI has decided to bring on Karandeep Anand, Meta’s former VP of business products, as their new CEO. Because if there’s one thing the world needs more of, it’s former Meta executives running things.

Anand, who previously oversaw advertising products that reached billions of users, is now tasked with making Character.AI the next big thing in AI. Because nothing says 'innovative AI future' like a guy who used to sell ads to your grandma.

The Vision: Under Anand’s leadership, Character.AI is expected to pivot from creating quirky AI personalities to serving you hyper-targeted ads based on your deepest, darkest secrets. Finally, an AI that understands you’re not just a person, but a consumer.

The Strategy: Insider sources reveal the new roadmap includes:

• Monetizing your existential crises
• AI-generated ads that follow you into your dreams
• A premium subscription to remove ads (just kidding, there’s no escape)

When asked for comment, Anand said, 'I’m excited to leverage my experience in scaling business products to help Character.AI reach its full potential.' Translation: Brace for ads.

Meanwhile, users are left wondering if their favorite AI character will soon start recommending diet pills or crypto schemes. Only time will tell, but one thing’s for certain: the future of AI is looking a lot like the past of social media.
