Meta AI defaults to prompting users to post publicly in the app's Discovery feed, leading to inadvertent sharing.
Despite a new warning pop-up, accidental sharing remains a risk on the Meta AI app.
Users have the option to opt out of public conversations in the Meta AI app's settings.
The Discovery feed feature allows users to showcase their interactions with the AI, but many were unaware of the public nature of their posts.
Users realized that sharing prompts on the Discovery feed made their chats visible to everyone, akin to a public Facebook post.
The Discovery feed displays a mix of AI-generated content, personal prompts, and intimate conversations, blurring the lines between AI and social media.
To prevent accidental sharing, users can disable the Discovery feed feature in the app's settings.
By following specific steps in the Meta AI app, users can restrict public visibility of their prompts to themselves only.
Despite opting out of public sharing, Meta retains the right to leverage conversations for model improvements.
Meta's approach highlights the tension between AI model performance and user privacy concerns.
