I wrote on Tuesday about Meta starting to put AI chatbots in WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, why it's doing that, and how it could go wrong: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/16/chatbots-flaws-arent-stopping-tech-giants-putting-them-everywhere/

Looks like they're officially going all-in now:

Analysis | Chatbots’ flaws aren’t stopping tech giants from putting them everywhere

Meta is the latest to expand its AI tools—and see them go awry.

@willoremus just uninstalled Instagram from my phone, it is REALLY intrusive on the search which is the main reason I used Instagram, just scrolling through stuff there. I don’t want this pulsating circle listening to me and watching. Creepy as hell.
