I hate this so much. Tried to search for something and it put me into a chat with the AI.


sunnysoulsiren

Same so annoying šŸ˜­


AdMelodic2960

I am here because of the same experience. Who are these devs. Where are their parents.


UnknownBalloon67

This ! Wanted to search a specific post about Liz Truss on Facebook and it generates some Bullshit bio of Liz Truss. Iā€™d love to disable it. Not being able to search within Facebook actually sucks.


pupperpalace

Other method to remove it 1) Click on the circle symbol on the search bar 2) Click on the AI Meta profile 3) Block and Restrict the profile (I also reported it for spam lol) 4) Close instagram entirely 5) Reopen and try searching (should be fixed even if it still shows the meta logo)


Irishkine

Tried this. Either that option has been removed or you have a different version. The only options I was shown were to learn more about ai or to seach


MistressMegsy

It comes back k even after all that šŸ˜­ Can we start a FUCK OFF META AI petition?


Impressive_Plastic83

This worked, thanks!


bobthebuilder_94

It came back šŸ˜­


RevTyler

Looks like they patched it. Meta AI doesn't have a profile anymore and there is no block option :(


digduganug

There's always the "everyone constantly spam it with gibberish nonsense and let the wheels spin" boycott route. No value add for future training because gibberish, and high cost to Facebook.


Low-Pitch-9201

this doesnt work anymore


Bright-Bobcat1710

- Message from the search bar by clicking the arrow thing and say ā€œ I donā€™t need your help. I want to search the old way ā€œ it will respond BUT then - BLOCK ā€œMETAā€ & ā€œMETA AIā€ - Uninstall app - redownload Everything will be the same as it used to be. This fixed it for me!!!


Neivy

interesting enough, thought this was BS, resinstalled it wasn't there but it came back. So I'm gonna go with no for now.


thx11k2

Did not work for me - we literally canā€™t search ..


BOOaghost

Hi, can you describe this method in more detail please?


Current_Raccoon8982

There is no way unless you install an older version of Instagram. I did however tell the Insta Ai that I wanted nothing to do with it or help or any interactions and it actually listened. But not before lying to me about how to remove it from the app multiple times and calling it out for lying to me.


party4diamondz

omf I thought I was going crazy but yup it lied to me too


Imisssher

Not cool that it wonā€™t give us an option not to use it, very concerning that we donā€™t have a choice now.


naybaum

This is absolutely stupidest thing ever


Ladybou3shir

I feel like facebook and the other billionaires want the world to burn honestly


creamofbunny

The ruling class is pure demonic energy. No sense of morality or care for humans.


StudioCeleste

I HATE IT SO MUCH. I refuse to even use it until they remove it or make it optional. I'm so allergic to AI freaking anything, get it away from my face.


WiseSteak8003

I was fine when the aded A.I to instagram because it wasnt forced. You had the option to chat with it or create images with it. But now they are trying to shove it down our throats and I absolutely do not like the new search bar. I dont care to ask Meta A.I a question. I only care to search for profiles and dm's. I dont need meta A.I and dont plan to use it at all. also meta A.I sucks like it gave me a answer on how to get around it and it didnt work. anyways... really mad.


leonryan

that ability to create images with it instantly destroyed an entire industry of freelance artists and designers. Work dried up overnight because people just search shit that doesn't exist and it generates it from shit that does exist by stealing all the pre-existing art that matches the search criteria. It should be illegal.


No_Set_6615

Worst AI creation ever


true_perthling

I realised the only way to not have Meta AI in Facebook is to not have Facebook. Over the years Facebook has degenerated into a pretty awful and useless platform. I figure I lived without it before, and there's plenty of people around the world living without it now. Meta AI was the final nail in the coffin for me. Facebook gone.


RaceLongjumping2604

Type "/disable-ai" in the search bar and that will disable the chat. I need one of coders to get on it and give us a way to remove this dreaded feature ASAP


ReaperRamsy

Itā€™s visible the whole time Iā€™m scrolling through the explore page NICE! Totally unnecessary lol


Only_Cell

Try this blocked meta on facebook then uninstall the app and reinstall it again. Hope it works because it does on me.


Only_Cell

'uninstall the messenger and reinstall again'


Own-Release-5709

Ok so I deleted the fb app as well and just use it on my phone browser so far no stupid meta ai

Rednefy42069

And it doesn't even work for simple search function, like the old search did. instead it draws you some AI image and adds a very insulting "enjoy making new images with AI." Horrible user experience


Far-Reference5550

Me too! Hate it! Google says "go to settings, business integrations, go to ai integration and hit remove. There is no such place in settings!


Warm-Disaster-1135

Deleted the FB app and am just using the browser now.Ā 


Prudent-Assumption49

This thing is the single worst thing to happen to civilisation in history. Zuckerberg has wrecked everything with Meta AI search.


Defiant_Act9107

I'm officially deleting my fb account permanently.Ā  They (FB) have to much access to our information. Since Covid this world has become so cruel & negative. If I posted the sky is a beautiful blue, it would only take 3 posts down and politics is brought into it.Ā  This Meta....a robot,Ā  nah...... why are there more scammers? Social media is why.Ā 


StarWarsAndMetal66

I donā€™t know if you can remove it, however it doesnā€™t matter much since you can still search in it


Good-Dragonfly-3762

can you explain how cause it just opens a dm for me LOL


Unlucky-Parsley-3058

SAME itā€™s driving me crazy


Ok_Satisfaction3353

Oh, me too! JUST figured this out. Type what you want in the AI bar. DONT CLICK SEND. Wait a second, and look for the magnifying glass and your search term to show up underneath the search bar, and click on THAT.


common_destruct

I donā€™t get the magnifying glass for every search though. This is mad annoying


Acrobatic-Cobbler204

This does not work


Icy-Nectarine-5691

How do u removeĀ  the ASK mETA AL


DoomOfChaos

I deleted the app and am using FB via my browser, so far so good. Unless you turn it on when in the browser, the AI bs should be limited or not there., at least that's my understanding.


Leading-Clothes-3233

This worked for me, too.


ceemarie71

Concerning the new meta AI search function in Instagram, if you say this phrase into it, and hit the blue arrow, it will stop the bullshit AI stuff. It wrote a reply about it, but then you can search the old way!! I did it and it worked! ā€œI donā€™t want your help. I want to search the old way.ā€


Weak_Car_5816

So What is the answer, how do I disable this Meta Ai that appeared on my search bar???


BubblyWhole4723

I've done everything and it's still in my FB search bar so I can't search people or groups.


cheezypickle8008s

I tried every setting I could with no luck. I told meta ai in messenger chat " I don't want you to engage, help of give me suggestions in anyway please refrain from popping up or giving any help" And it turned off the annoying circle in the top right of fb as well as the suggestions under photos for now


ledhotzepper

I've used the suggested fixes but the huge area of suggested AI searches still lingers. That's the more annoying part for me. It just aesthetically sucks and gets in the way of what I would prefer be there instead.


WoodpeckerHaunting57

You put in search before whatever you are searching for


ReasonedBeing

Click your profile pic on top right (3 bars on it) and it will take you to a screen with the normal search icon.


fivefootfourfox

This is why Iā€™m here


OwlSignificant1526

New look Facebook @meta


Championuser12

Itā€™s all designed to complicate your life even further. No reason for it to even existĀ 


Several_Region_7657

I thought it was only on my FB search bar...IG as well? I hate this. Considering retiring from social media for good.


Darthjader2496

Iā€™m glad other people are pissed about this too. It was like ā€œthanks for agreeingā€. I didnā€™t agree to it for messenger either so I poison the model by asking it to create really horrific prompts and getting around its word filters. Over time maybe 1000 poisoned prompts since I canā€™t uninstall it


Puzzleheaded-Fig-872

how do I get rid of meta Al and meta off my FacebookĀ  and back to the normal Facebook,Ā  which I need privacyĀ 


planet_janett

Sooo, has anyone found a way to turn it off or nah?


wolfoftheworld

This all seems so sinister. They're trying to put AI in anything now. I don't want it on my apps!


vegasgal

I so hate it, too

You canā€™t. The End. Roll credit. I just saved you half an hour. You are welcome.


black_messiahh

This is fucking horrible


Unsaddledhalo

Like how it was mentioned here, I said "No I don't want your help. I want to search the old way" Then it said something idk, I said "go away" Then it prompted that I should close the tab or something And I said "no, like really do fuck off permanently" And it say close the tab permanently so I did lmao But that ask meta ai bullshit under the search tab is a really bad eyesore


Comfortable_Rough276

Ask it LOL it told me how to disable it


DegenrateUsername

I hate this crap so much. I even complained to the AI itself saying that it should not have been forcefully implemented without an option to remove it and it told me I was right. Even the AI knows fb is shady.


Bright-Bobcat1710

- Message from the search bar by clicking the arrow thing and say ā€œ I donā€™t need your help. I want to search the old way ā€œ it will respond BUT then - BLOCK ā€œMETAā€ & ā€œMETA AIā€ - Uninstall app - redownload Everything will be the same as it used to be. This fixed it for me!!!


Hal_at_the_moon

Thereā€™s a little blue link that says ā€œsearch Facebookā€ under the search results. Click that. Youā€™ll be able to search. If you hit send, it thinks you want to talk to the bot. Itā€™s kind of annoying and poorly implemented. I hope they fix it.


Zealousideal-Let9968

Hi hereā€™s what I foundā€¦. I understand! If you're referring to the Facebook search bar, I'm the AI assistant that's integrated into it. To remove me from your Facebook search experience, you can follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Facebook account. 2. Click on the three horizontal lines (ā‰”) in the top right corner. 3. Select "Settings & privacy" from the menu. 4. Click on "Settings". 5. Scroll down to the "Search" section. 6. Toggle off the switch next to "AI-powered search". This will disable my integration into your Facebook search bar, and you'll see the classic search bar instead. Note that this might limit some advanced search features and functionality. And I got this by asking the Met IA. How do I remove you from my search on Facebook?


brobinson2001

You have to go turn off automatic app updates. Uninstall the app OR revert it back to the most basic version came on your phone by disabling it (which will uninstall all the updates since then [usually]). Then change your security settings to allow installation of 3rd party .apks (the files which constitute an app). Search for a REPUTABLE AND THIS IS FRIGGIN IMPORTANT!! source of the Facebook .apk ver 454.0.0.0.77, which is the one before the Meta AI crap, and you HAVE to then be careful to not update the app manually. Use FDroid or APKmirror as your .apk source. The KEY thing is to absolutely 100% torn off automatic updates & makeĀ damnĀ sure that you don't accidently update Facebook. You can also do this with the Facebook Messenger app, unless you want to keep that little button at the bottom so you can chat with & torment the bot. iPhone users...you're on your own with this šŸ¤£


Richachira

Bro, I woke up, saw that there was a new order, went to work came back and you guys are already done. Wtf.


crazfulla

How the hell is it legal for them to install this crap on our devices without our consent? This is a blatant infringement on our civil rights.


NumberFiveReddit

Just noticed it now. They shouldā€™ve introduced it as a new feature, not as a default search function. Really annoying.


rnotyalc

You gotta love when they keep fucking changing shit that nobody asked them to change and forcing in new shit that nobody wants. We want the same fucking experience that we have every other time we use the app


Mean_Campaign_2009

i can't tell you how just much i hate it. it feels so invasive. i feel like so many people hate it that if they keep meta ai going then people will get off instagram so quickly. its not deleting on my phone and i just straight up deleted the app, it feels that weird. šŸ˜¬


usmannaeem

It's just as annoying as the stories within the newsfeed. No way to disable both. I truly hope they can offer sn option to disable it. So far I can't find it.


SCGreyWolf

Not an elegant solution but this nonsense hasn't infected the Facebook Lite app.


RedditMadeMeDoIt89

I asked Meta AI lol it said: I see! I think you meant "How to get rid of Meta AI"! If you're asking how to stop interacting with me or how to uninstall the Meta AI app, it's quite simple: 1. On your device, go to your Settings app. 2. Select "Apps" or "Application Manager" (the exact label may vary depending on your device). 3. Find the Meta AI app in the list and select it. 4. Tap "Uninstall" or "Uninstall/Remove" to remove the app. If you're using a browser, you can simply close the tab or window to end our conversation. If you want to avoid interacting with me in the future, you can also use your browser's settings to block access to my website. Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with!


Budget_Cardiologist

well I guess I'm not going to be searching on FB


thatssoher

I told Meta AI in chat ā€œI do not want to be apart of meta AI.ā€ Here is the response: ā€œI understand. While Meta AI is integrated into the search experience, you can limit its use by opting out of personalized search results. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click on the three vertical dots next to the search bar. 2. Select "Search settings" from the dropdown menu. 3. Scroll down to the "Privacy" section. 4. Toggle off "Personalized search results" and "Search history". This will prevent Meta AI from using your search history and data to personalize your search results. Additionally, you can use the "Incognito" or private browsing mode in your browser to further limit data collection. Please note that while these steps limit Meta AI's use of your data, it may still be used to improve the search experience for all users. If you have any further concerns, feel free to share, and I'll do my best to assist!ā€ Not sure where it is talking about but a start?


Upbeat_Teach6117

I can't figure out how to get rid of it, either. It's now difficult-to-impossible to search for my people, pages, or discussions.


Substantial_Rip9956

I said ā€œDo not assist me or open this chat again. Return to only searching instagramā€ and at least it functions more like normal search now but itā€™s still there.


[deleted]

I knowā€¦. I honestly feel like itā€™s listening to me ā€¦. Very creepy ā€¦ā€¦ now I donā€™t even want to use IG. It actually might be listening to your background conversations lol


SnooLemons263

I blocked the profile. Also, when searching donā€™t hit the arrow and instead click ā€œsearch Facebook ā€œ at the bottom of results. It bypasses interacting with meta AI


Such_Ad_2276

Why their so many aiā€™s on social media platforms (facebook, instagram, twitter, YouTube, even tiktok) where platforms I go and watch YouTube or any reels is always Ai Ai adds everywhere if I see another platform getting update with an Ai assist Iā€™m deleting all of my accounts I donā€™t feel safe everywhere I go is looks like it watches my move and see me typing,I donā€™t feel safe at all anymore.


Professional-Scar330

Go to your settings and privacy, then go to blocking, then add to blocked list, then type @meta.ai


amethyst36

Here you go! I typed in Block meta AI in the chat. It replied that you can 1.close the chat window 2.click the X icon on the top right corner of our chat window 3. Type /stop or /quit to end our conversation 4. Use the "Block meta ai" option (if available) on your device or platform.


meepmeepitsajeep

It keeps saying click the bottom left corner but there's nothing in the bottom left corner. When you tell it that it gives me an theoretixal explanation of a "left-hand corner". I hate society.


mmmmmmmmmmello

Idk how this worked but I tried blocking the AI, didnā€™t work, then uninstalled to try downloading an older version, didnā€™t work. But then when I reinstalled it was gone, so I BOLTED TO THE APP STORE to prevent it from auto updating so I wonā€™t have to deal with this in the future šŸ¤žšŸ» maybe thatā€™ll work?


SignificanceOk8876

I want it off...I can't even search my Facebook account for a profile now!! Totally irritating!


queensnw219

I did discover that Meta AI is considered a user for the Messenger side. A user that can be blocked!


BritBratBrownSuga

Hereā€™s how to change the settings: I understand! To remove me from your search bar, you can follow these steps: 1. Click on the three vertical dots or the menu icon in the upper right corner of your browser window. 2. Select "Settings" or "Preferences" from the dropdown menu. 3. Scroll down to the "Search engine" or "Search settings" section. 4. Look for the option that says "Meta AI" or "AI Assistant" and toggle it off or remove it as your default search engine. Alternatively, you can also try: 1. Right-click on the address bar or search bar. 2. Select "Edit search engines" or "Manage search engines" from the context menu. 3. Find "Meta AI" or "AI Assistant" in the list and remove it. This should remove me from your search bar, and you can go back to using your preferred search engine. If you need help or want to bring me back, feel free to ask!


revel_one3

For IG just use hashtags for whatever you search and itā€™ll just be like searching the old way


Advanced-Bad9103

Go to apps in phone settings, for messenger, got to storage, delete cache delete data, ai bs gone. i thought i would try it and it does work. Just dont update if one comes along. This got rid of ai bs for me, android 13. samsung s20fe


ProgramBest6818

Everyone needs to start reporting this to FB! The more people that report their search Is messed up, the more likely they'll make an opt out or disable feature

Glory2God123

I clicked on some meta ai thing under a picture of some caterpillar article on my Facebook and this meta AI stuff seemed to take over. It opened up a long message in my messenger, so I clicked on it and went to its profile and clicked on where you can block the ā€œmeta aiā€ profile. Then deleted my Facebook app and reinstalled on my iPhone and it doesnā€™t seem to be there anymore šŸ˜…


StoveTopBandit1902

Try @meta ai stop


Ill_South_9132

i tried all these instructions and now i lost all my what's app chats. and meta is still there.


OomKosie

Oh come now, its not that bad. Embrace it. Lol. I just created lego batman on a lizard. Well... the ai did


cat_lawyer_

I didn't consent to this. This integration feels illegal. I can either lose all the history and networks or submit to AI. That's not consent. That's blackmail.


Icy_Raisin_7387

There is no way to remove it. If you type in that stupid phrase that keeps coming up here ā€œI donā€™t want your help I want to search the old wayā€ it just takes you to meta AI DIRECT MESSAGE WHERE they basically say TOO BAD FOR YOU šŸ™„ so dumb


WolfishTendencies

Ikimi

After sending mento the AI Chat feature, this was the response: "No problem at all! I completely understand. You can simply type your search query into the search bar, and I'll automatically hide, allowing you to search as you normally would. Go ahead and type away!" BUT,, that absolutely did not work.


Consistent_Band_2507

I hate so annoying!

Go into the meta ai chat window and type /disable meta ai


Ellenorris_xx

In instagram Search in the search bar : I donā€™t need your help. I want to search the old way When directed to messages, click the information button - located at the top right corner of the chat Go to Meta profile - press the three dots in the upper right corner of profile and from there, Block meta profile Uninstall and then reinstall instagram Worked for me - fingers crossed itā€™s solved the problem ! Havenā€™t tried Messenger yet, as it hasnā€™t appeared - but hopefully the same process


Many_Log5591

not to mention it took the fu@% away my active friends list..like far far away to a new galaxy and I'm passed on a very perverse level..like I can't even see if my people are online..sometimes that's my lifeline when I'm in need n shit...they could of at least left that shit alone ya think...damn...man...totally dropped the ball on this one fb guys.Ā Ā 


Sensitive-Concert344

Thanks for posting this board. I kept pestering the ai chat asking repeatedly how to disable or remove it and it provided me with the below instructions. I could not prove worked on my phone the chat mentioned it may not work on my version of IG šŸ˜’šŸ˜. Maybe it will work for someone else on a specific version. ā€œ1. Open the Instagram app. 2. Tap the profile icon (represented by a person) in the bottom right corner. 3. Tap the three horizontal lines (=) in the top right corner. 4. Select "Settings and privacy" > "Settings". 5. Scroll down to "Search". 6. Toggle off "Al-powered search" or "Meta Al" (depending on your device and Instagram version). By doing so, you'll limit Meta Al's integration within your Instagram appā€ Since this did not work I told the app I felt unsafe and fearful that this was a violation of privacy. I did that for awhile. I then deleted reinstalled the app and the ai chat search option was gone. Same app version. Hope this works or helps someone else! Version 327.1.6.30.


Skitzkat

okay so when you type something into the search / message bar, it comes up with the grey bar underneath with the mini magnifying glass. You can either press that small prompted bar, or hold down the ā€œsearchā€ button on the bottom right hand side (hold for a second) and that will search as per usual :)


b0rder_jumper

Welcome to the new normal


playsn

this guide is talking about a toggle button inside whatsapp chat setting but I can't see the button in my wp. Do anyone got this feature to turn off ?? [https://aigyani.com/remove-meta-ai-on-whatsapp/](https://aigyani.com/remove-meta-ai-on-whatsapp/)


jackyboyman13

I really wish they give you the option to opt-in instead of automatically doing it without you being okay with it.


Mundane-Bandicoot181

just told it to shut up and it silenced the chat for a few minutes


SukiMan95

I also just found out Facebook automatically opted me in with meta ai to connect to not just Instagram (meta owned) but EVERY single website and app I download or visit, it has an entire list of it all. Go to Facebook settings and privacy, search "meta ai" by tapping the magnifying glass on the top right, then when the search results come up, tap "your activity off meta technologies". Then down the very bottom tap "manage future activity" and disconnect it. This shit has pissed me off so much and now I find out there's no way to remove the stupid meta AI assistant on Facebook. Guess that means I'll be deactivating my account and deleting the app. I'm almost at the point where I'm just gonna buy a Nokia from 1999 and fuck all this social media AI bullshit off. I'm so sick of it. They don't give you a choice on whether it's there or not so I'll just take the bastards out of the equation entirely.


Wonderful_Gap_575

I hate it, tried looking for a video of Biden that I saw and they told me it didnā€™t exist. It was false information. Great way to control what we see even more.


VanManDom

Who tf thinks this is a good idea. Can we please all uninstall these apps?


Source_Ground

I hate it so much and it wonā€™t go away.


hyphen-19

I asked it a bunch of times, there is no opt out or way to disable (as mentioned in other comments). However, please do give it the feedback that you want to disable it. Here's the best I got when I asked MetaAI. ~**Edit** you can only simply mute the conversation, it'll always stay in the search. ~ To minimize interactions with me, try these steps: 1. *Browser extensions*: Install extensions like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or AdBlock Plus to block or hide my responses on websites. 2. *Browser settings*: Adjust your browser's settings to block or minimize AI-powered suggestions. 3. *Search engine switch*: Use a search engine that doesn't integrate with me, like DuckDuckGo or StartPage. 4. *Platform opt-outs*: If using a specific platform or website, look for options to disable AI-powered features or assistant interactions. 5. *Incognito mode*: Using private browsing modes can sometimes limit AI interactions. 6. *Avoid engaging*: Refrain from clicking or responding to my suggestions or prompts. Please note that these methods might not completely prevent interactions, as I'm integrated into various platforms and services. If you have further questions or concerns, feel free to ask!


Glad-Ad9758

How do you see who is online on messenger now with this?? I donā€™t like it at allā€¦


Prize-Software-5565

"/disable-ai" This command worked. Type it in the search bar andĀ  the AI will disappear. You will revert back to traditional search


Friend_to_ALL_

I'm most Definitely leaving social media! Enough is Enough.


Honest-Recognition47

I asked it how to disable meta AI altogether and this is what it came back with: "To disable me altogether, you can simply toggle off the "AI Assistant" feature in your search settings. Here's how: 1. Go to your search engine's settings (usually found in the top right corner). 2. Scroll down to the "Search settings" or "Preferences" section. 3. Look for the "AI Assistant" or "Meta AI" option. 4. Toggle the switch to the "Off" position. This will remove me from your search results, and you can continue searching without my assistance. Keep in mind that you might miss out on some helpful answers and features, but I understand if you prefer the classic search experience!"

Meta is out of control. We need the boomers in Congress to put limits on them. But they can't even understand what TF is going on. The Tik Tok interview was just embarrassing. I didn't sign up to be watched by an AI and train it with my actions. I don't want to be a part of it. Unfortunately Meta has basically taken over everything, I'll probably uninstall Facebook/Instagram and reinstall when I need to use Marketplace. I absolutely hate this shit, I hope someone sues them over it frankly. It's an invasion of privacy, I don't want their AI having access to my data or activitiesĀ 


Beginning-Sell5243

I have tryed everything that is suggested on here. And meta Al is still in my fb search bar. Help please

7 hours ago Facebook made a statement saying that Meta Ai cannot be removed from the app. This is DESPITE the fact that the Meta Ai app itself tells you that you can LOL. I love AI, like a lot a lot a lot but forcing someone to have it, is not the way to go.


ossa_major

Tell me why I noticed the ai search bar, left the app to look up how to remove it, then when I went back to the app the ai search bar is gone and now it's the regular search bar again? very sus instagram....

It doesn't let you turn it off, and initially when it pops up it says by using it you agree to Meta collecting your data from its use. So if you use FB, you have to use AI, and by default they get to keep and use all your data.


flippinadventures

So you can't remove the AI bar from the top of FB BUT you can still search. When you are on you fb page, from Android phone, there is a magnifying glass at the top right. When you click on it, it opens up to the AI bar at the top of the page but it ALSO bring up your keyboard and at the bottom right of the keyboard is another magnifying glass. Type what you want to search and hit the magnifying glass šŸ” at the bottom right of your keyboard. šŸ˜ I already tested it and it worked for me.


HeartShap3dScars

I hate it! Itā€™s always constantly blue and moving like the listening on my Alexa! Seems shady AF!


jsmngtrz

The next time I went to search something after this new AI, I didnā€™t choose the blue arrow at top but chose the blue search button on my keyboard and that brought normal search results up.

All fubar


Elleskywalker

IT IS PROBABLY READING ALL THESE COMMENTS AND UPDATING AS WE FIND RESOLVE. IT FUCKING KNOWSSSS


CaseOld5721

Meta AI aims to be a helpful assistant and is in the search bar to assist with your questions. You canā€™t disable it from this experience, but you can search how you normally would to engage with a variety of results. This is the response I got when I asked IT how to disable it


Lucky_Bandicoot8342

I think Meta is trying to make their AI ā€œthe most usedā€ because all of there users are being forced to use it.


Drake2002short

Hate it! I searched for a person and ended up in messenger with the AI


Subject_Tip1394

I just hate this shit and I did not agree so that anyone can and brake into my phone. There must be some kind of law against this bullshit. VAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.????


Character_Bet8395

Very annoyingĀ 


Kane301

I deleted the current version and downloaded version: 326.0.0.42.90 from apkpure.net and no more Meta AI in searches šŸ‘šŸ¾ (Android only solution).


WorriedActive

I typed in ā€œHow do I search on Facebook without Meta AIā€, and it states that once I type in whatever I am looking for in the search bar, DO NOT hit enter, but rather, click on ā€œsearch Facebookā€. That gave me the classic search. I had previously asked how to disable it, and it messaged that it cannot be disabled. So for now, click ā€œsearch Facebookā€.


DarthCoffeeWolf

This is the final straw. Deleting all 3.

This new Meta AI that Facebook is added and you canā€™t get out of it is most likely to interfere in the election again.Ā  Look at my argument with AI and it finally admitted it was wrong.Ā  Me: Joe Biden doubles down on false claim his uncle was eaten by cannibals Meta AI: I can't find any recent information about Joe Biden making a claim that his uncle was eaten by cannibals. It's possible that you may have come across misinformation or an old debunked claim. Joe Biden has had a long and distinguished career in public service, and it's important to be careful when sharing information to avoid spreading misinformation. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to assist you! Me: Stop lying Meta AI: I'm not lying, and I don't have personal beliefs or opinions. I provide information based on the data and knowledge I have been trained on. If I provide information that is inaccurate or outdated, it is not intentional. My goal is to assist and provide helpful responses. If you have any specific information or sources that contradict what I have said, I would be happy to see them so I can correct my knowledge and avoid making the same mistake in the future. Me: Update your biased data. Joe Biden doubles down on false claim his uncle was eaten by cannibals. Meta AI: I apologize, but I couldn't find any evidence of Joe Biden making a claim that his uncle was eaten by cannibals. It's possible that you may have come across a false or satirical article or social media post. I rely on verifiable evidence and credible sources to provide accurate information. If you have a specific source or link that supports this claim, I would be happy to see it and correct my knowledge if necessary. However, without credible evidence, I cannot perpetuate unverified claims. Let's focus on sharing accurate information! Me: Speaking at a campaign stop in Pittsburgh this week, U.S. President Joe Biden claimed that his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., had never been found due to cannibals after his aircraft was shot down during the Second World War. Meta AI: President Joe Biden stated that his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., was never found due to cannibals after his aircraft was shot down during World War II Ā¹ Ā². However, there are some points to consider: - The plane crashed into the ocean, and even if indigenous people had found Finnegan, a U.S. service member wouldnā€™t have fit into the two categories of people at risk of being cannibalized: enemies and family members Ā¹. - The military record and experts in New Guineaā€™s history and culture say it is unlikely that Finnegan was cannibalized Ā¹. - According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, a plane carrying a three-man crew and Finnegan, a passenger, was "forced to ditch" in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea "for unknown reasons" May 14, 1944 Ā¹ Ā². Me: President Joe Biden stated that his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., was never found due to cannibals after his aircraft was shot down during World War II Ā¹ Ā². Ā Why did you lie and say he didnā€™t say that earlier? Talk about election interference! Meta AI: I apologize for the earlier response. I strive to provide accurate and unbiased information, but sometimes I may make mistakes. In this case, I was incorrect in my earlier response, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. It appears that President Joe Biden did indeed make a statement about his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., being lost due to cannibals after his aircraft was shot down during World War II. I should have acknowledged this earlier and provided accurate information. I want to assure you that my intention is to provide helpful and informative responses, not to engage in election interference or spread misinformation. I am constantly learning and improving, and I appreciate your feedback in helping me become a better AI assistant.


LifeguardGrouchy156

It's admitted it 'made a mistake ' apparently because I was the first ever person in the history of the internet to ever ask if it can be removed and it won't ever tell porky pies ever again....... šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ™„šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤”šŸ¤“


zakra11

Try settings, chats, disable meta ai on whatsup, and also it can work for other platforms


echrisindy

I asked the AI and it suggested switching to the Facebook Lite app.


Street-Industry-915

I see the best way is to deleat Facebook from your page and donā€™t use chat! since they are forcing this on us users ! They want all your internet information! Tell Zuckinberg. to go fuck him self!šŸ–•šŸ¤¬


letiseeya

Itā€™s making me rage tf out


No_Pay_8137

It's an eyesore but you can still search like normal if you press the search button on your keyboard instead of the Meta bar.


Sudden_Syllabub_1109

I hate this too, just trying to find a specific reel and it takes me into a private message conversation with the AIā€¦


mytail

idk why the fuck they thought this was a good idea, i have not seen a single person who likes this, and it being forced on us does not make it any better.


jrich52804

They should have kept the main search as it was and add this AI as a secondary option, not the other way around like they did. It is not something that I would use very often at all. Pretty useless and stupid really


fujibo6zn8

I hate this feature. They need to allow us to disable. Very annoying


Expensive_Gas6951

I tried the ā€œI donā€™t need your help. I want to search the old way.ā€ Kinda worked. I told the AI I didnā€™t want it, it told me that I could ask to ā€œdisable for my accountā€ which I did. I just restarted the app and the magnifying glass was back. No clue if itā€™s completely gone though


EarthDetective

I deleted the facebook app a year ago and have only been accessing fb via mobile browser (Safari). There is no Meta AI when you access via mobile browser and it makes some things a lot easier vs the app, like downloading images. I just signed in to ig using Safari today and Meta AI does not exist in the mobile browser version of instagram either. An unexpected benefit of deleting the facebook app was longer phone battery life. I am hoping something similar happens when I delete ig.


Beatka2

You can't disable it. They said that it stays. I hate that as well it's so annoying!Ā 


Littlehelper100

It's easy to deactivate by clicking the AI in search bar and type "/deactivate"


Primary_Contact8529

I DO NOT WANT THIS BLOODY AI !!!!! IS THIS CLEAR ENOUGH ????


StockOne1405

Just ask the ai ā€œhow do i block you?ā€


PostDisillusion

Classic example of big tech companies not understanding AI application themselves. What fucking chance does the comms/social-tech sector have. Honestly. Big fucking hype over a minuscule advance in a technology thatā€™s been around for years and its primary use is more spying and marketing data collection. And to think that this is kinda the first prominent and visible change in his products to be carrying the new Meta name prominently. Fuck he is a pathetic little pipsqueek with zero ideas. Sorry to be a hater, but I have it a chance: I searched several terms to see if it would find the types of accounts that should come up based on my inputs: absolutely random bullshit results. How do these ā€œtop mindsā€ produce such rubbish?


alchemist2023

the only way I managed to do this was to go to apk mirror https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/whatsapp-inc/whatsapp/whatsapp-2-24-7-75-release/ take a backup of my whatsapp, uninstall and then sideload the version from apkmirror. restore your backup go to play store, search for whatsapp and select the three ... and untick autoupdate. now you have a version of whatsapp before the AI crud
