Meta has now integrated AI into Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger in Canada — but its presence may not be welcomed by all.
WATCH: 'I'm sorry for everything' — Zuckerberg among social media execs testifying before U.S. Senate – Jan 31, 2024 Meta has now integrated AI into Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger in Canada — but its presence may not be welcomed by all, as the new feature can’t be turned off.AI can be used “to get things done, learn, create and connect with the things that matter to you.”
Some applications the company listed include asking it to recommend a restaurant with sunset views and vegan options, or for it to explain a subject a student may soon have a test on. The program can also generate images based on text prompts.However, some are already reporting unwanted applications of the new program.For example, The Associated Press reported that an official Meta AI chatbot inserted itself into a conversation in a private Facebook group for Manhattan moms.
Facebook’s online help page says that Meta AI will join a group conversation if tagged, or if someone “asks a question in a post and no one responds within an hour.”While that feature can be turned off, Meta AI’s more general presence on the platforms cannot, according to a statement from Meta to Global News. However, a spokesperson said there are feedback tools you can use if you didn’t like a response received.
