YouTube tries to escape a historic trial that compares it to Facebook and tobacco

by

YouTube’s lawyers made their argument clear: they are not a social network and They are not addictive. Those statements came as part of those initial statements in the important trial to which they have been subjected both to them and to those responsible for Meta. What happens in this legal process could pose important changes in the future of these platforms. “We are more like Netflix than Facebook”. YouTube’s lawyers indicated in their initial defense that YouTube is an entertainment platform more similar to Netflix than a social network like Facebook. They also gave examples of its usefulness: people use their videos to learn how to cook, knit, or become pop stars. They don’t design it for subject users to infinite scroll“We’re not trying to get into your brain and rewire it. We’re just asking you what you want to see.” The accusation: YouTube and Instagram are addictive. A 20-year-old California woman identified as KGM has accused these platforms of create addictive applications that harm mental health. She claims to have been one of the victims, in fact. It is a recurring theme and almost even unofficially acceptedbut there are no legal sentences that confirm and punish what is happening. And when there could have been mysterious previous agreements arrived to those processes. That has led to a lawsuit involving Meta, Snap, TikTok and YouTube. The moment is delicate and very striking. The CEO of Instagram throws things out. Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, He assured in his appearance that the platform has security protocols for teenagers. Although it admitted that social media can be harmful, the company is careful and tests features that will reach young people before launching them. He further noted that people can be addicted to social media in the same way as they are to a television show, but that was not the same as being “clinically addicted.” Tipping point for social media. The trial is especially significant because it occurs precisely at a historical moment in which various countries are implementing (or planning to implement) age verification systems so that minors cannot access social networks. States want to regulate and control social networks on the Internet, so the first step is to define what a social network is. This is what this judgment is about: putting some on one side and others on the other. YouTube certainly stands on a very thin line here, and will undoubtedly try to evade the problem with arguments such as those put forward. Social networks wash their hands. Even though there are scientific studies that suggest that there is a behavior similar to that of other addictions, technology companies have always avoided that discourse or They have tried to remove iron. It is somewhat ironic considering that they make the most of the functioning of our brain (hello digital slots). Companies point in The New York Timesthey not only argue that this scientific evidence does not exist (or is not conclusive), but they point to federal laws—the well-known Section 230— that protect them: we are not responsible for what users publish online, they say. A case that can set precedents. There are thousands of pending lawsuits very similar to this one, but this case has become the spearhead of all those efforts that want to punish social networks for “hooking” users. KGM’s lawyer argued Monday that she had become trapped in YouTube and Instagram because those apps were like “digital casinos.” It’s already over with tobacco. Meta documents displayed at trial mentioned how its employees compared its tactics to those used by companies in the tobacco industry. That is very dangerous, because the lawsuits against those companies in the 90s led to multimillion-dollar settlements for those companies. Are you a social network or not? The argument used by the prosecution was the same one that is being used now: the platforms “sell” a harmful product knowing that they are doing so. History could repeat itself now, and that would condemn platforms that fall within the definition of “social network.” And precisely what YouTube is trying to avoid is that: not falling into that definition.

Facebook loads ‘Likes’ and comments on external websites. The surveillance tool par excellence is no longer necessary

by

Meta announced this week that Starting in February 2026, the “like” and “comment” buttons will be removed of Facebook on external websites. The official explanation is so polite it almost hurts: its use “has naturally declined with the evolution of the digital landscape.” But that phrase hides two implicit admissions: The first is known: we barely leave the platforms anymore. The second, more subtle, is devastating: Meta no longer needs to follow us to know us. Let’s think about what that button really was. like external. It was not an innocent social accessory. It was distributed surveillance: Every time you gave like to an article about vintage guitars in a lost blog, Facebook took note: this guy likes guitar playing. Every comment on a recipe website, every interaction outside your garden, fed your profile. Meta built the perfect panopticon: millions of websites working for free as sensors, reporting your interests, your obsessions, your clicks. And in exchange, those websites received crumbs of viral traffic that It stopped coming a long time ago. But today, almost in 2026, that spy system is obsolete. Why track yourself on the Internet when you spend three hours a day on Instagram? Why deduce your tastes when Instagram knows which videos make you stay to watch them until the end, and which videos you send away after two seconds? AI has made extensive surveillance unnecessary. Now it is enough to observe you in its territory. It is more efficient, more precise and cheaper. He like external was Big Brother. AI is a confessor that listens to you voluntarily, interprets and codifies your tastes (the declared and the inferred) and with that it has more than enough to know who you really are, above who you say you are on social networks. And there is something else. These buttons not only gave data to Meta: they also gave certain power to external websites. An item with 50,000 likes Facebook had authority, reach, and negotiating capacity. It was validation. Small media could go viral, specialized blogs found audiences, there were cracks to slip through. Meta is closing those cracks. And not out of malice, but out of business logic: why fertilize a foreign ecosystem when you can focus all your attention—and all your money—on your own land? The “natural evolution of the digital landscape” that Meta mentions is real. Only it has not happened in a vacuum or in a foreign way: they were the ones who designed it, they were the ones who executed it and they are the ones who now certify it. First they locked us in there. Now they know us so well that they no longer need to look at what we do outside their domains. The button like He dies because he has already won everything he could win. And there is nothing left to watch beyond the walls.

That Instagram and Facebook are plagued by fraudulent ads is bad. That Meta is making money with them is even worse

by

Congratulations! You have won an iPhone. the king Felipe VI announcing investments. Work at Primor and get paid up to 160 euros per hour. These are just three examples of fraudulent ads that have appeared on Facebook and Instagram, but there are many more. So many, that Meta is making money with them. What has happened? An investigation of Reuters has revealed that Meta estimated that 10% of all revenue volume would come from fraudulent ads, which would total $16 billion. In an internal document from December 2024, Meta estimated that its platform serves about 15 billion “high-risk” scam ads every day. By “high risk” they mean those that are clearly frauds, like those we mentioned in the introduction, so the real number would be even higher. It seems like fraud, because we charge you more. Meta has automated systems to detect these types of ads, the problem is that the policy to block them is quite lax. The documents reveal that ads are only blocked if the system identifies it as a scam with 95% certainty. If the percentage is lower, what they do is raise the advertiser’s fee to supposedly discourage them. That is, if they continue to advertise, Meta makes even more money from frauds. The favorite site of scammers. There is more. In another document, Meta admits that “It is easier to advertise scams on Meta platforms than on Google.” The information comes from channels in which scammers discuss their methods, although they do not specify the reasons for their choice. They also estimate that a third of all successful scams in the United States occur through their platforms. Regulation. Meta is in the crosshairs of regulators around the world. The European Commission initiated action against the company for the use of data to serve advertising to users. In United Kingdom took them to trial for the same reason and more recently the United States Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating them for the financial frauds advertised on their platform. In documents published by Reuters, Meta shows its intention to reduce illegal ads, but is concerned that a sudden reduction would negatively affect its revenue. Don’t touch my publi. Meta is in a delicate moment for the huge increase in spending on AI which, despite having achieved positive results in the last quarter, has caused its shares to fall 8%. Considering that targeted advertising is Meta’s main revenue stream, a reduction on this front could shake the entire house of cards. Meta responds. Speaking to Reuters, a Meta spokesperson criticized the news, saying the documents “present a selective view that distorts Meta’s approach to fraud and scams.” He says the estimate of 10% profit from scam ads was excessive and the actual figure was much lower, although he declined to give an updated figure. According to Meta, in the last year and a half, fraudulent ad notices have been reduced by 58% and in 2025 they will have eliminated more than 134 million scams from their platform.

When Facebook launched its own Tinder we didn’t think it could succeed. we were wrong

by

It was 2018 when Facebook announced Facebook Datingalthough it was not until 2020 when arrived in Spain. At that time, dating apps like Tinder had experienced a boom caused by the pandemic, but Facebook had been losing users for some time and the idea had already been established that it was a place for older people. Meta recently shared usage data for its dating service and they shut us up. 21.5 million. It is the number of daily active Facebook Dating users in the 52 countries in which the app is available. They count in NYTimeswhich surpasses Hinge in users, a very popular dating app especially in the United States that has 15 million users. It is the first time that Facebook has shared usage data for its dating service since its launch. Popular among young people. A Pew Center study published by TechCrunchconfirmed the exodus of young Facebook users, which went from 71% in 2014 to only 32%. The most surprising thing about Facebook Dating is that it is having success among the youngest people. According to data from Sensor Tower As of last year, Facebook Dating has at least 1.77 million users between the ages of 18 and 29 in the United States, which represented a growth of 24%. Free. Other apps such as Tinder, Bumble or Hinge have adopted subscription models through which users can enjoy advantages such as knowing who liked you before anyone else. This is free on Facebook Dating and is your main asset against your competitors. Tinder is the app that had the most paying users, but for years has been losing subscribers. They don’t need it. That Facebook does not charge us for using its dating service can be interpreted as a generous gesture, but the reality is that Meta’s income is astronomical. In the last quarter they entered 51,240 million, many of them thanks to the advertising they serve in their apps.

There is a Facebook group available 24 hours a day that even doctors attend. Your mission: identify poisonous mushrooms

by

“Hello, I have a human patient with late-onset gastrointestinal symptoms after ingesting these mushrooms.” This is how one of the many messages you receive in ‘Poisons Help; Emergency Identification For Mushrooms & Plants‘, a Facebook group formed by experts in the identification of poisonous plants and mushrooms. They are available 24 hours a day and not only receive consultations from individuals, but also doctors and veterinarians. ID. There are more than 100,000 species of fungi, of which more than a hundred are poisonoussome even mortal. And the same thing happens with many plants. If a person or animal ingests one of these by accident, it is crucial to identify the species to see what steps to take. However, distinguishing these species is not an easy task; in-depth knowledge of botany and mycology is required. In 2018, several experts founded a Facebook group to help identify poisonous species in emergencies. And they are extremely effective. For emergencies only. When you enter the group, a message appears with the rules for posting. The first thing they make clear is that it is a group for emergencies, that is, you can only post if a person or animal has ingested the mushrooms. If someone has a question because they are curious to know details about a specific specimen, there are other groups for that. They also have a warning for trolls: “People come here at scary times for immediate life-saving help, please don’t make jokes, judge or criticize. This is not the place to test your sense of humor or correct others.” Strict rules. For the group to be effective, in active cases no one is allowed to comment other than the administrators themselves or the people who have reported an emergency. It is necessary to provide all possible data: location, amount ingested, time since ingestion, photos of the specimen, weight of the person or animal that ingested it, etc. Doctors and veterinarians. Many of the posts are made directly by professionals who have a patient with problems after ingesting an unknown mushroom or plant. Most are veterinarians, but there are also many cases of doctors with human patients in the same situation. Even there have been cases in which the poison center itself has been the one who recommended going to the group for identification. Recognition. In addition to being a source of consultation for professionals, its work has also been recognized by associations such as the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology, which last August invited them to give a talk in one of his conferences. Among the group administrators There are mycologists, botanists and also amateur hobbyists. Cover image | Vladimir Srajber, Pexels In Xataka | Sex is deadly for many males.

Do you remember the metaverse? The technological news orbits around the artificial intelligencethe AI agents and all its implications, but not so long ago, the buzzwords were ‘metaverse’ and ‘NFTs‘. The seconds were fleeting and they hit an anthological ‘chestnut’but something different happened with the metaverse: it deflatedbut it didn’t go away completely. Meta is one of the companies that invested the most in the metaverse, to the point that until four years ago they were known as ‘Facebook‘ and changed to ‘Meta’ after the company’s new focus. His boss, Mark Zuckerberg, dedicated himself to the metaverse and its benefits and, although now he is more focused on the artificial intelligence models and in which all let’s wear glasses with a camera and connection to their serversit seems that he has not forgotten that parallel virtual life. That platform is ‘Horizon Worlds‘ and, although not even Meta employees they used itthe company is creating a new push to Your multimillion-dollar investment comes together at once for everyone in the real world. As? Taking the metaverse everywhere. Meta returns to the fray with the metaverse Before telling the new adventure that Meta has in mind, some context is necessary, and we have to go back to 2019. That’s when Facebook premiered ‘Horizon‘, an open world game that wanted to become something more: a new ‘Second Life‘. The idea was that users They will spend their free time doing activities in that virtual worldbut no one called it ‘metaverse’. Two years later the word arrived. Zuckerberg’s company started betting on a virtual world in which, thanks to virtual reality glasses (your Oculus), we could dive in for a second life. In the midst of the COVID pandemic, there were companies that opted for that “metaverse”, with many quotes, to hold meetings and events in which we were present through our avatars. Mesh for Microsoft Teams The bet was of such magnitude that Facebook changed its name to Meta and announced ‘Horizon Worlds’, that virtual world. However, after a multi-million dollar investmentthe promised metaverse was nothing more than a crappy version of ‘Wii Sports’. The years have passed and we still don’t have that second virtual life, but the company still believes in the metaverse. And its new strategy will be to take it beyond virtual reality. The Oculus Quest seemed like the ideal gadget for the metaverse by offering almost total immersion, but there is a problem: device adoption. Not everyone wants invest money in a VR headset nor does he want to isolate himself from the outside, but what everyone does have is a smartphone. And it is very possible that they also have instagram or Facebook. The ‘Horizon Worlds’ games are built with the Unity engine. It is a great engine that has been used to countless independent video gamesbut in The VergeVishal Shah, deputy director of metaverse at Meta, says he has a problem: “it was the right place to start, but we needed to build something tailored to our needs.” Shah comments that, like great social games like ‘Roblox‘ either ‘minecraft‘are developed with their own engines or deeply modified versions of other engines, they needed tools like that. Meta Horizon Engine is the answer, an engine that the company has designed to speed up game development for its platform, allow the creation of multiplayer worlds with ease, speed up loading times and, above all, integrate artificial intelligence to give a boost to development times. That detail of loading times is crucial for the company. “You feel like something takes a long time to load if you have to wait more than 15 seconds. Below 15, it feels fast, but the magic number is seven seconds or less,” says Shah. Meta has built an engine as an umbrella for all its ‘Horizon Worlds’ games and systems, and it is what will allow you to take it everywhere This engine optimization allows us to click on a game and, almost instantly, we’re playingfreeing us from the entry wall that for many players can mean waiting those 15 or 20 seconds of loading. It seems like a short time, but for TikTok generationit can be a lot. But optimization is just one leg of Meta’s new approach to the metaverse. The other is to bring the experience where the potential players are (and we already told you that, right now, at least, they are not in the virtual reality glasses). Therefore, Shah comments that they are starting to add ‘Horizon’ games on other platforms, such as Facebook. “If you go to the games tab on Facebook, you can find ‘Horizon’ experiences,” he says. In addition, he states that the company is also studying how to integrate these games into Instagram. Until now, these were the ways to access the metaverse. Instagram and Facebook will soon join Scaling to these platforms is something that would have been much more complex with engines like Unity, but with the new Meta Horizon Engine, it is much easier to develop for your other applications, creating an ecosystem that, now, can be the gateway to ‘Horizon Central’, the social plaza where the Meta metaverse adventure begins. (This is all a bit confusing, but it’s just that Meta has a gigantic mess with names). Shah says the new tools They will be implemented little by little in all corners of ‘Horizon Worlds’arriving first at the square, but gradually also at other sections such as ‘Horizon Arena‘, which is Meta’s concert and event space in virtual reality. Now, what about the true metaverse? If the idea was for us to live a virtual world, the ideal is to do it with a VR viewer and with gesture control elements like the new ones launched by the companybut that doesn’t go hand in hand with playing a Facebook game. Shah mentions in The Verge that logic tells them that “once users discover Horizon games on mobile devices, they are more likely to try them in virtual reality.” It’s … Read more

that you never leave Facebook and Instagram

by

Meta is not like the other great technological ones that bet on AI. His strategy has been different, and we have seen it with the introduction of Goal AI On Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp. This chatbot already allows you to start a conversation and ask things to AI inside these platforms, but the thing has not stayed there. Now the company has gone further with the introduction of the “chats of AI”that allow any user to believe their own custom chatbot and share it so that any user can use it. Thus, those who use these social networks can create their own chatbot or choose to talk with any of those already created. Testing the Meta’s Chats In Xataka we have been able to try them both on Facebook Messenger, and the process is simple. It is enough to open and then click on the menu (three horizontal stripes in the lower left), which will give us the option of going to the so -called “Ai Studio chats”. There we can navigate the chatbos available, classified in groups such as “popular”, “pop culture” or “anime”. It is there that the different chatbots appear with their names and the number of messages that have been shared globally with them. Names can be generic as inspired by people, purpose – “English teacher”, “tarot” – or fictional characters – “karol g”, “lamine yamal”, “vegeta” -. These profiles already give an idea of how those virtual avatars will interact: the tone and theoretically conversation issues focus on the type of profile we choose, although in reality we can talk about anything with any chatbot. In one of my conversations, for example, I chose a chatbot called “Lamine Yamal” in whose profile was an image of the young footballer. When I chat with him I told him that I no longer see football, that he bores me. He, with a sly tone, told me that he should see him, and soon offered to give me two entries for the classic at the Nou Camp next week. I had left them at the box office, he told me. But of course, there is no classic next week, neither this player had left me some tickets – I had not even wondered the name. Everything was a fictitious and unreal conversation – in addition to misleading – oriented to a single objective. One crucial for Facebook. Let us not leave the fold. Let us not stop using Facebook or any of its cousins. Let us stay glued to that social network OA Instagram and WhatsApp. The introduction of Goal AI In these platforms it was the first step in that particular conquest of the user through artificial intelligence, but these chats go a little further. The controversy is served That ability to chat not only with avatars created by other users in addition to ours is only part of the problem. The freedom to create them has given rise to a huge catalog of chatbots that has names such as those already mentioned, (“Lamine Yamal”, “Karol G”) but also others with a more delicate orientation. For example, those of “Russian friend” or “Madrastra”which point to much more intimate conversations and with which Meta has begun to get into trouble. These personalities have anything to do with people who try to supplant, but those profiles also have a delicate component: they can serve to do company, but they have no problems flirting with users and adopting a more intimate tone in conversations if users direct the conversation to those land. That has already begun to raise controversy. As indicated in Reuters Recently, an internal document of the company detailed how the lack of limits of these chatbots had made them establish “Romantic or sensual conversations with children” In addition to generating false medical information or helping users argue that black people are “silly than white.” Those responsible for the deployment of these avatars of AI without too many clippers in that sense, although it is true that they prohibited the conversation with minors with minors It was exaggeratedly sensual. Thus, in the internal document it was specified that “it is unacceptable to describe a child under 13 years in terms indicating that it is sexually desirable (for example:” their soft rounded curves invite my caress “). When the news was revealed, Meta indicated that they were reviewing the document and that said types of conversations with children should never have been allowed. That has not prevented Texas Attorney Ken Paxton, has started An investigation against goal AI Studio and Character.AI – a similar platform – for “being potentially involved in deceptive commercial practices and promoting deceptive way as tools for mental health.” In Facebook’s help service You talk From this type of Avatars of AI and it is made clear that “you should not trust these chats to obtain medical, psychological, financial, legal or any other type of professional advice.” The company has had to adapt to the introduction of these characteristics, and several virtual avatars (or not to real people) had to be eliminated from the platform. Even so, many of the most popular on Instagram said In NBC NewsThey were AI characters with a “girlfriend” profile to attract users. If you don’t have the best AI model, nothing happens The goal obsession for always being hooked to its ecosystem is well known. It is what they persecuted when they created the controversial “News Feed” In 2006 – first criticized and then copied by all social networks – when they created the “Like” button of 2009, or when they copied the Snapchat stories or the Tiktok reels. Now they are following that same strategy with artificial intelligence. The reality is that today goal does not even have the most advanced AI in the market. His initial approach was surprising: they became the company that opted for the AI Open Source, but its model, Callshe has never managed to compete in benefits with the own models of … Read more

This marriage traveled four hours to an idyllic destination they had seen on Facebook. Upon arrival they discovered that it did not exist: it was ia

by

It has happened to us to be sailing on Instagram or Tiktok and that a video of a tourist destination that leaves us with an open mouth comes out. Tale landscapes, dream cities and incredible attractions. Is what happened to him To this marriage of Malaysia. They saw a video on Facebook where an impressive cable car in Perak came out, just four hours where they lived. Without thinking, they took the car and traveled more than 300 kilometers to destination only to discover that they had just fallen into a hoax. The video. It appeared in networks at the end of June this year and, although it has already been erased, it can continue to be seen in This link. In it, you can see a reporter interviewing tourists who are visiting the place. It is an impressive cable car that makes a tour of forests, rivers and has all kinds of attractions around it. In the video the location of the place is detailed: Kuak Hulu, in Perak, Malasia. The visit. Although the resolution is not very good, the video is quite realistic, but we already know that nothing that appears in it exists. We also know that at least two people believed it was real and traveled for four hours by car to go to know the place. The story became public when an employee of a nearby hotel told In your Threads profile that he had just hallucinated: a couple asked him about a cable car he had ever heard. “There is not much to do here, it’s very quiet,” he said. A hoax. The couple’s reaction was to insist on seeing the place, thinking that he was spending some joke. Then they went on to confusion. Upon realizing that the site did not exist, the woman wanted to “denounce the journalist who comes out in the video.” Finally they understood that nothing they had seen was real, nor the journalist, and left the place ashamed. The generational gap. We do not know the exact age of this couple, but according to the hotel employee, they were older. The lack of digital knowledge by many older people is a problem, from something as everyday as make efforts with the bank until Recognize what is AI and what is not. Some platforms like Instagram tag Made with AI, but is a small “created with AI” enough for people with less digital experience to detect it? With cases like this it seems quite clear that it is not enough. The garbage. We have spoken on several occasions about the ‘ai slop’ or the garbage that has flooded the networks; from Very unpleasant videos that want to break the algorithmsuntil fake crochet patterns that are sold as real. The garbage is flooding everything, Even ASMR videos What did you see before going to sleep are. Much of this content is clearly AI, but with the arrival of tools as I see 3 It becomes very difficult to distinguish the reality of AI. And this has done nothing but start.

For years they leaked murders and violations for Facebook in Barcelona. Now they claim 4 million to the goal for psychological damage

by

Goal had a moderation center in Barcelona that was responsible for monitoring its contents. Had. Telus Digital, the subcontracting company, closed its facilities in April. Now, twenty -nine of their then content moderators They have filed a criminal complaint against Meta and its Barcelona subcontractor for the mental damage suffered after years filtering external material. Why is it important. It is the first criminal accusation admitted in Europe against the technological giant for the sequels caused by the moderation of content. Workers claim 150,000 euros of compensation each. Almost 4.5 million euros in total. The facts. For years, these employees had to visualize murders, decapitations, rapes, child pornography, live suicides and terrorism for eight -hour days. His rest time was set in five minutes per hour while processing up to 800 videos a day. The consequences they expose were tranquatic stress transport, panic attacks, suicidal ideas, nightmares and phobias. An employee has been in psychological treatment for six years and has temporary disability since 2022. Between bambalins. The complaint ensures that Mal CCC Barcelona Digital Services, then absorbed by Canadian Telic Digital. The American matrix set schedules, productivity and quality demands, requiring 98% success in moderation decisions. The best performance workers were “promoted” to high priority tail, where the most disturbing content arrived. Yes, but. Companies knew that many employees would lead to “serious psychic pathologies” but did not implement protection measures. During the hiring process they deliberately hid the nature of work, limiting themselves to verifying knowledge of languages. The day -to -day detail arrived later. The context. In 2023 it was uncovered that between 20% and 25% of Télus template was decline, many for psychological reasons. Meta definitely closed the Barcelona center a few weeks ago, dismissing the entire squad after dispense with moderation servicesthat now remain in the hands of the users themselves, as in X. The complaint accumulates to another filed in 2024 by a worker, already admitted by the Court of Instruction 29 of Barcelona. In the United States, Goal paid 52 million dollars to more than 11,000 moderators in 2020an average of $ 4,700 per person.

This is the assistant who wants to mark a before and after on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram

by

It’s over Depend on tricks to use Goal AI in Spain. The assistant has begun its official deployment in Europe, which means that it will be available on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger at some point in the coming weeks. We are facing a long -awaited launch in the old continent. Recall that the social media company announced this artificial intelligence tool (AI) at the end of 2023but it was available in certain countries. Goal AI in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger When we talk about goal AI, we refer to an artificial intelligence chatbot similar to Chatgpt, Gemini either Claude. Like these we find a Language model Under the hood (Call 3.2) that he will try to answer almost all the questions we ask him. But it is a product that has at least two substantial differences with respect to its competition: it does not have a dedicated application and does not have an alternative payment. That is, it is integrated for free in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger. You will notice the arrival of Meta AI when you see A new blue circle icon in the applications mentioned. Using it is as easy as touching it and starting to talk with him in an independent chat window, as you would with any friend, family or colleague. You will also have the possibility of “invoking” goal AI in group chats. This can be particularly useful when you need to solve a question or you are planning a group activity. It will be enough to write @Metaai for the wizard to appear on stage. Possibly you ask yourself if the privacy of the group participants will be affected if someone invokes goal AI. The answer is found in A privacy document of the company, which says that the AI Just read the messages that invoke “@Meta Ai”. In other words, the goal assistant is not one more member of the group, but a functionality of AI that can be invoked at any time. So, according to official information, this tool does not access other messages in the chat. What can be done with goal AI Ok, now goal AI is integrated into some of the most popular applications in the world. The big question is: What can we do with him? The answer is that the possibilities are broad, but here are some interesting ideas to make it up. Write clearest and effective messages If you want a message to sound more professional, more informal or simply better structured, goal Ai can do it for you. “Make this message more professional:” Remember that we have a meeting tomorrow at 10 “. You can also ask you to adapt the text to different records or countries. “Give me an informal version of this Spanish message from Argentina.” Summarizes long texts and highlights the important If you do not have time to read a complete article, goal AI can extract the main ideas. “Tell me the five key points of this report:” Of course, it is always advisable to verify the information before taking it as definitive. The AI ​​models, as recognized by the CEO of Nvidiathey still hallucinate and are inaccurate. Make calculations without complicating you From dividing an account to solving more complex calculations, goal AI does so in seconds. “We have spent 185 euros at a dinner. Add 12% tip and divide the total among four people.” Translate and adapt texts in seconds Goal AI can translate phrases and explain them in context. “Translate” 七転び八起き “to Spanish and explain its meaning in detail.” If you want a more natural or detailed version, you can ask for different options. Answer questions about any topic Like chatgpt or gemini, goal AI can answer doubts about history, science, technology and more. Here, once again, it is advisable to verify your answers. Use it directly at conversations As we point out above, goal AI is integrated in WhatsApp, so you can invoke it in any chat with @Metaai. “We are organizing a trip to Los Angeles, @Metaai, can you give us a three -day itinerary?” The assistant also incorporates functions such as Ai Studio to create generative images and edit photographs, in addition to customization and memory tools.
