Meta recently launched Meta AI in the European Union, although the company had to settle for an inferior experience compared to the rest of the world. By “launched,” I mean that Meta forced Meta AI on all European users whether they liked it or not. That colorful circular button is now present on Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp, getting a prime placement.
In some instances, the Meta AI button sits atop the UI, and you might tap it by mistake. I guess this would count as interacting with the AI.
If you thought that wasn’t great, you won’t like what’s coming next. Meta announced plans to start training Meta AI on all the content you generate in its apps. That means public content from apps like Facebook and Instagram, not private chats from WhatsApp and Messenger, which are already encrypted and can’t be accessed for AI training or other purposes.
Thankfully, Meta will let you opt out of training the AI, and you should do it immediately.
