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

Never to late to change.

BTW Lemmy doesn't encrypt DM as far as I know.

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.

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!
