Meta's Muse AI agent trains on your chats by default and nudges you to hand over bank and passport info
sidjustice_ · x · 2026-09-22
Meta's Muse AI agent is drawing privacy criticism on two fronts:
- It uses your chats to train Meta's AI by default. To opt out: Settings → Data controls → turn off "Help improve our AI models". Meta says key personal identifiers are stripped before training
- The agent also nudges users to share bank account, email and passport information
The poster mockingly calls out Zuck over the opt-out-by-default design. Privacy-conscious users should check their settings now.
