Meta's Muse Is Better at Surveilling Than Helping Me

Meta's new AI assistant, Muse, has been downloaded over 900,000 times in its first week, according to Sensor Tower. Available on Instagram, WhatsApp, and as a standalone app, Muse aims to automate personal tasks, similar to OpenClaw and Instinct. The user experience is designed to feel like texting a friend, with the AI acknowledging requests and working in the background. However, concerns exist that its high level of personalization could encourage users to share more private data, as AI tools may mirror user speaking styles with increased interaction.
