Mark Zuckerberg wants you to trust Meta with your personal AI. Good luck with that
TL;DR
Mark Zuckerberg has published a sweeping AI manifesto that promises privacy and individual empowerment through Meta's personal AI. The pitch is that the assistant works for users rather than against them. Meta's long history with user data makes that a very hard sell. Fast Company argues the skepticism is well earned.
Nauti's Take
Meta's push has potential, because a personal assistant with access to chats, photos and calendar would genuinely be more useful than any generic chatbot. The risk is the track record: a company whose business model runs on advertising data gains the most intimate data source there is.
Anyone testing Meta AI should first clarify what content feeds training and how to switch that off.
