Meta wants to be a player in the AI spacebut efforts to achieve this have achieved it some users were annoyed.
– the technology giant said in a blog post on Thursday said it would roll out its Meta AI assistant in more than a dozen countries across all of its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram. Since then, users of social media platforms have had it he complained about the tool flooding their feeds.
The AI tool can be used in channels, chats and search in Meta apps. It also aims to “speed up image creation,” meaning users can type in a suggestion and Meta’s AI assistant will adjust and generate that image as the user adds details, the company said in its post. However, he added that the image feature is only available on WhatsApp and Meta AI web interfaces.
Despite Meta’s claims that its AI tool can lend a hand you plan a night out or even recommend a restaurant with a sunset view, users who frequently utilize the platform’s social media apps this turned out to be troublesome.
For example, user X, Michael Taylor, said in: post that “Instagram has significantly worsened their search function in the name of using Meta AI.” Taylor added another Post X that he was “trying to look up the band’s name,” noting that he didn’t need suggestions.
Meanwhile, user X Makay he said in the post that she was “trying to search Instagram, not talk to the AI.” Another user then asked if there was a way to disable the AI Meta tool. “When I asked about it, it said no,” Makay replied.
A Meta spokesperson told NBC News that the tech giant doesn’t have a solution ready yet a formal method of incapacitation. Users may not be able to “disable it in this environment,” the spokesman said, but they can go to the search bar to get answers to your questions.
