Wtf: 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.”*
"Meta AI chatbot inserted itself into a conversation in a private Facebook group for Manhattan moms. It claimed it too had a child in school in New York City"
That is pretty funny that it's just telling outright lies. It's like me saying I went to the moon last week, which I did!
The fact you can't turn it off and it just inserts itself in private conversations makes you feel like you're being spied on.
It's not telling lies so much as simply producing text which is statistically likely in the context, as it always does. In a group of Manhattan moms, of course it produces text saying it has a child. Everyone in that group produces that text.
