Muse Promises Convenience, Courts Data

A WIRED review of Meta's Muse finds the personal AI assistant offers real convenience—web browsing, shopping, and task automation—but nudges users to share extensive data (emails, bank details, documents) and stores interactions in a 'Memory' that can't currently be fully disabled. Data can be used for AI training, even if sanitized, raising privacy concerns and potential influence on ads. While Meta defends the defaults as improving the model, critics warn of data exploitation, and the author ultimately deleted Muse after testing.
