In computing over at TUD, we have a lecturer grill us about scope, and I was going to mention this to him, because this is fucking stupid, I found it niche when Snapchat did it but when Meta does it to WhatsApp it’s just stupid, it’s a waste of time and money integrating something that has NO PLACE BEING THERE, it’s like putting a strip club inside your local SuperValu,
WhatsApp: you’re there to communicate with others not use an AI if I want to use AI I’ll open a browser or download the app

You can stay as long as you let me join your side when you take over.

All I need to know is that reading posts that say “All I need to know” is a waste of time

It feels invasive.

I was happy to just ignore it until I noticed they’ve replaced search with their crappy bot so you can’t search without it now. I really dont want the bot reading my messages and logging my information. A core strength of WhatsApp has always been that its been end to end encrypted so this feels like a wet slap

Save yourself the click, here’s the bit you’re looking for
>There does not seem to be a way to remove Meta AI in WhatsApp’s settings at this point.
You can delete the “chat” you’ve had with the AI but the icon will remain on your chat screen inviting future interactions – and as discussed above, deleting messages does not seem to mean a total withdrawal of the information you have inputted.
Tech magazine Wired suggests entering the command /reset-ai – this results in a message from the chatbot that the AI will “reset to its default state” and delete its copy of the conversation from Meta servers.
The Journal tried asking the AI how it could be removed from WhatsApp – but the answers it generated don’t work. The answers referred to WhatsApp settings options that don’t exist

Might have to join ahead and join the US military secrets community over on signal.

Switch to the WhatsApp Business app instead if you don’t want the AI. It’s not on that app yet.

Use signal? It seems like every few years meta comes up with a new reason to completely ignore them.

This is the world that has been for a long while now.
This is the world most people passively agreed to.

The only practical business examples of AI I’ve seen is Chatbots or Assistants and they aren’t even really AI by definition.
A.I. in general is a bubble, probably won’t crash but more fade away from the limelight and just be another annoyance in our lives like Crypto.

Can we all 1 star review it and request a way to completely switch off meta AI?

Sidenote but I’ve had to use the helpline for a couple of Irish businesses the past two weeks and every one had a bot or AI interface and I hated it. If my answer was simple enough to be answered by an AI I wouldn’t be calling. Took way too long to get an actual human. Even my local taxi place had an AI answering machine but it couldn’t understand the Irish address I was at 😭 this is all gonna blow up in their faces.

You can download an APK of a previous version, install that and switch off auto update for it.
Make sure you’ve backed your current version up first.
