Meta released its new Muse Spark AI model on Wednesday as part of a major overhaul. The company cannot afford another costly failure like its metaverse investments. This launch has boosted the Meta AI app to number five on the U.S. App Store. However, using the app comes with a privacy warning. Meta has been sending Instagram notifications to your friends, alerting them that you use the Meta AI app. I have experienced this embarrassment personally. The apps are deeply interconnected, so your activity can be shared in unexpected ways. Previously, a now-removed Discover feed accidentally exposed private user chats to the public, revealing intimate details. Your AI conversations may also be used for targeted advertising. While you might implicitly agree to this in the terms of service, it highlights how much data Meta gathers across all its platforms.
