Summary
Meta’s new AI button in WhatsApp chats offers a quick way to interact with its AI assistant, but there are several reasons why people are opposed to it, according to a report in MakeUseOf.
Five of these reasons are:
It makes WhatsApp feel more cluttered because of its new features.
You cannot turn it off or remove it even if you don’t want it.
It blurs the line between chatting with people and bots, and raises questions about future updates that integrate Meta AI deeper into regular chats.
It feeds Meta more data, as Meta can use prompts to train its models and analyses the data for its AI improvement.
People would rather use AI tools they can choose (and control).
Overall, the article argues that while Meta AI’s new feature might be a neat affair for some, it’s too invasive for an app used for personal chats, andMeta needs to give users more control.
