Meta is about to ruin WhatsApp with AI bots no one wants
Of all the generative AI assistants out there, Meta AI must be the most annoying for the simple fact that Meta is shoving it down our throats. No app is safe, from Facebook to Messenger to WhatsApp to Instagram. Meta AI is there whether you want it or not, and there's no way to deactivate it.
Meanwhile, ChatGPT is entirely optional, not that OpenAI can really force it on anyone. Apple's Apple Intelligence is also optional; you don't have to use it even if you have access to it. Then there's Google Gemini, which is baked into many Google products but doesn't feel as intrusive as Meta AI. The same goes for Microsoft's Copilot.
The worst part about Meta AI is that Meta isn't done ruining its apps with overdoing the AI presence. We've just learned of AI profiles coming to Facebook and Instagram, which is extremely annoying. It gets worse; Meta will now give AI bots prime plans inside WhatsApp, a feature that nobody really asked for from the one Meta app that's actually useful.
