Meta has added a new pop-up to the Meta AI app, warning users that prompts they post are public. As a general rule, you should never assume that anything you tell an AI chatbot is private.

Private Meta AI chats are surfacing publicly, exposing sensitive data. Experts warn of confusion, consent issues, and major privacy gaps in AI tools.

From queries about dating to medical advice, Meta’s marriage of social media and gen AI appears to be loaded with unintentionally shared content. Meta’s artificial intelligence tool might be a little too easy to use.
