Although I’ve loved using Meta’s Ray-Bans smart glasses, I wasn’t a fan of the change/rebranding from the Meta View application, which was an easy-to-use companion to the smart glass. Now, we have the Meta AI app is a not-so-straightforward companion with half-glasses that really,

Meta’s AI app is a wild place.
The feed consists almost entirely of boomers who don’t seem to know that their conversations with the chatbot were posted publicly.
The chatbots are very personal (see the second picture, which I anonymized). pic.twitter.com/0Hoff1psPU

There have been a lot changes since Meta switched from the Meta View to the Meta AI apps in late April. It seems that not all of these changes have been noticed by those who use it. As you can see in the tweet, one of the most significant changes is the addition to the “Discover” feed. This allows you to see what prompts users are sending into Meta’s ChatGPT rival. It would be great if people knew what they were asking Meta to display in a public feed prominently featured on the app. But based on the prompts highlighted in the tweet above, Justine Moore on X:It doesn’t look like people know[19]that. Very bad.
I spent an hour browsing through the app and found:
Medical and tax records
Private details on court cases
Draft apology letters for crimes
Home addresses
Confessions of affairs
And much more!I’m not going to post any, but here is my favorite so far pic.twitter.com/9KqGeLB5UN

As Moore notes, users are throwing all sorts of prompts into Meta AI without knowing that they’re being displayed publicly, including sensitive medical and tax documents, addresses, and deeply personal information–including, but not limited to–confessions of affairs, crimes, and court cases. Unfortunately, the list goes on. I went through the Meta AI app to confirm that this is still happening. I am sorry to tell you that the pain train continues to roll. In my exploration of Meta AI, I found a number of seemingly confidential prompts that addressed doubts/issues regarding significant others. One woman questioned whether her male partner was a feminist. I also found where a 66-year old man asked about women who were interested in “older males” and a few hours after that, he inquired about transgender people in Thailand.
If you plan to use the Meta AI App, it is recommended that you go to your settings and make your public prompts only visible to you. To do this, open the Meta AI application and:
- Click on your profile icon in the upper right corner.
- Select “Data & Privacy” from the “App Settings.”
- Select “Manage Your Information.”
- Next, select “Make all your prompts available to you only.”
- You can also choose to “Delete all prompts.” It’s reminiscent of several things, such as when Facebook released its search bar in the past, which was misinterpreted by some users for the post field, causing them to type what they thought was a personal search into the post area. Venmo is also a strong influence, as users were unaware of the fact that their payments would be cataloged and made public. You can imagine that these public payments led to some unsavoury details being broadcast. I would say that for now, it’s best to avoid using Meta AI on sensitive matters because you could get more publicity than you bargained.
