But... but... but... Meta said my chat contents would be absolutely private!!1!

Private?

They said they didn't even save them!

Meta said my PICK A THING would be absolutely private!!1!

Lol. Lmao even.

People who believe meta when they say anything is private:

I redlighted their products when your couldn't find anything negative about Trump around the election time, but you could find all sorts of negative stuff about Biden.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I don’t see how meta would know anything about any chats I have, AI or otherwise.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If the chats are taking place on their platform, why wouldn't they?

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 10 points 3 weeks ago

That's the joke

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

Well, it’s a good thing I ain’t on any of their products

[–] yoshisaur@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's probably the ai on their apps that give you targeted ads

[–] Karry_17@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don’t get the logic Meta only has access to what runs through their apps. Claiming they’d somehow know about AI or private chats outside their platforms feels like a stretch

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Cool, so since I have never talked to that bullshit does that mean I won’t get any ads?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Obvious plan to use AI chat logs for ads was obvious.

Man if ChatGPT did this they would be showing me guns and the home address of Nigel Farage 😂

I just can't FaceBook. My wife and I use Marketplace, damned useful, but the main page gives me the heebie jeebies. No idea why, put I have this weird revulsion when I land there. Twitter doesn't do that to me, and I hate Musk even more than Zuckerberg.

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

I am sure people use their AI service exclusively because they shoved it everywhere they can in their services. WhatsApp has a dedicated AI chat button too. This was absolutely obvious it would happen eventually, and I am surprised they are doing it only now.

0% sympathy for any of the people still using those platforms.

They deserve all the abuse they're willing to take!
