Here’s how to switch (Meta AI) off:
Tap your profile icon at the top right.
Tap “Data & Privacy” under “App settings.”
Tap “Manage your information.”
Then, tap “Make all your prompts visible to only you.”
If you’ve already posted publicly and want to remove those posts, you can also tap “Delete all prompts.”
- Here's a faster easier option!
  Press and hold the icon until it shakes
  Click uninstall
  
  While I like this option more, at this point I wouldn't trust it to not spy on me still. I guess that also goes for the settings route. Shit.
The data must flow.
Oh I thought that Meta reveals your chat history to another person. Good thing I don't use Meta AI.
I thought by now everybody assumed that their tech was spying on them and stealing their data.
- That's kind of different from it being fully public though. I imagine people are thinking only Facebook is going to be looking at this stuff, not their coworkers and relatives.
  
  I assume that the corpos are taking my data, but I also trust that their primary interest is commercial. Or rather, commercials. I.e. selling shit or otherwise profiting. But I've seen the kind of asshole who ends up in the general public and some of those fuckers are actively evil. I don't expect Meta to target my family for our politics or go after anyone's gender identity unless some outside circumstance makes it profitable for them.
Still wondering what really happened here. A dark pattern in the app? Or some kind of technical glitch? It it was a dark pattern, has it been changed since then? Has anybody posted screenshots or a video of the steps users need to take to make their chats public? I'm most definitely not going to install the app myself just to try it out.
