Despite chatbots being viewed as 'artificial' conversationalists, people have put their trust in them and are already oversharing with the AI, as chats with them are often perceived as private. However, that is not precisely the case with Meta AI.

The Meta AI app has been described as “a privacy disaster,” as users unknowingly make their embarrassing questions public.

Some people are unwittingly posting their private and sometimes mortifying conversations with the Meta AI chatbot to the world.

Meta may soon use AI to handle most of the privacy and safety checks for updates to its apps. According to internal documents reviewed by NPR, this AI system could take over up to 90% of these reviews, which were previously done by people.

Interacting with AI has felt like using a digital confession booth—private, intimate, and shielded from public view. … That’s about to change dramatically with Meta’s rollout of social features in its stand-alone AI app.
