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 1 month ago

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

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 14 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Rooster326@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago

That's the joke

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] yoshisaur 6 points 1 month ago

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

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 1 month 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 😂

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

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

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.
