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.

Good.

Anyone who uses shit like this deserves all of the bad things that go along with it.

Stupidity will continue to be punished.

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!

Imagine running an ad for your AI where all it does is help you bungle the situation despite how much personal information it knows.

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.

Imagine typing deeply personal info into a Meta app.

    Same, except WhatsApp instead of FB Messenger. I had no results trying to convince my family and friends to use other stuff

  Imagine being a Facebook user since it’s inception and realizing how little they actually care about privacy
  
  Hi, it’s me, I’m that person 😑😑😑

    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.
