Some users of Meta AI are unintentionally revealing their search histories to the public through a feed that they can opt to share. Safety experts have flagged this as a significant security issue, as identifiable posts could lead to uncomfortable revelations about personal queries. Such queries range from generating suggestive character images to seeking help on academic tests. Although sharing prompts is not automatic, users are cautioned about privacy before posting. The presence of easily traceable usernames adds a layer of possible personal exposure, intensifying the urgency for better user awareness and security measures.
One internet safety expert said it was 'a huge user experience and security problem' as some posts are easily traceable through usernames and profile pictures.
The process is not automatic; if people choose to share a post, a message pops up which says: 'Prompts you post are public and visible to everyone...'}],
Users may unwittingly reveal sensitive searches, such as generating scantily-clad characters or asking AI for test answers, through a public feed.
