""They're already farming your clicks and posts to target ads. Now they're mining your conversations with chatbots," Bender said. "The obvious next concern is whether the chatbot itself will start nudging people to disclose information that makes them more targetable.""
""Before, Meta's systems watched who you connected to and what your communities were doing. Now it's directly: What are you saying to the company?" she said."
""There's this illusion of privacy, when in fact what you're doing is you're serving up this data to a company," she said."
Meta will begin using conversations with Meta AI to determine ads and recommendations across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Ray-Ban Display smart glasses starting December 16. Formal user notifications will begin on October 7. There is no opt-out; the only way to avoid this data use is to stop using Meta AI. Linguist Emily Bender warns that mining chatbot conversations expands targeting capabilities and may encourage the chatbot to elicit more personally revealing information. Concerns include an illusion of privacy and the combination of conversational data with existing user data for ad personalization.
