Meta AI searches made public - but do all its users realise?

Meta AI users may be inadvertently making their searches public without realising it.

Mozilla Petition> Meta: Help Users Stop Accidentally Sharing Private AI Conversations

Meta recently launched its own AI app, like ChatGPT. The Meta AI app comes with a “Discover Feed” — a public stream of real user AI conversations posted by users. Meta says that users know that they’re sharing their AI conversations publicly. But a number of posts suggest otherwise. You can find posts that appear to show users’ personal data, medical issues, work problems, and calendar reminders in the Discover Feed.

      Imagine being a Facebook user since it’s inception and realizing how little they actually care about privacy

          Working on getting my data and making sure some friends know how to contact me outside of it.

          I don’t use DMs on Lemmy, either.

        I deleted my FB account (originally opened in 2006) the day I saw zuck on the inauguration stage with the fascists, and honestly that was way too late too haha

        There is the idea of just being an npc on the surface. So what if it is your Facebook account if you never install the app, never post anything and just use it to buy lawnmowers and used cars?

        Your existence isn’t private by default, so make it all you give them and nothing more.

    This article was written by a bot too. Meta says first that all searches are private by default. Then that used can opt out of them being public.

    You have one job journalist! Fact check!

    It seems the users are explicitly making the posts public. I know it’s cool to hate on Meta, but the issue here seems to be more that some people don’t understand the consequences of making public posts on the Internet.
