WhatsApp’s Meta AI is a large language model developed by Meta, the parent company of Facebook
Built on Meta’s Llama AI tool, it uses a chatbot function for real-time translations within the app
Meta AI also allows users to create AI images, using text prompts to edit and improve the context of the image in real time
Although many users have complained about a lack of an opt-out option for Meta AI, the feature does not compromise the end-to-end encryption of WhatsApp messages
Any messages that are tagged with @Meta AI are used to train the chatbot, with the company admitting that it sources some real-time online conversations from Facebook and Instagram feeds to create the tool.
Meta AI is primarily designed to stick to factual topics and avoid more creative or subjective discussions.
