Non-compliance carries fines up to 10% of global revenue.
Positive users welcome the EU mandate for rival AIs on WhatsApp as consistent regulation and wider access, while negative users object to forcing unwanted chatbots on users already tired of mediocre LLMs.
@9to5mac @benlovejoy Yeah but the difference is that AI in WhatsApp can't access personal data such as chat histories anyways, so it doesn't matter. It's the same way Apple already allows 3rd party LLM apps to integrate into the Siri app.
@9to5mac @benlovejoy Makes sense. If Apple has to open up to third party AI on iPhone then WhatsApp should have to as well, good to see some consistency here
@verge Interesting
@verge Looks like WhatsApp just became a free AI playground for everyone.
@engadget Who asked for chatbots in WhatsApp ?? Cuz I'm genuinely curious Every1 is already exhausted by mediocre LLMs, and I doubt even 10% of users actively use Meta AI Just remove the ads, make the desktop app competent, That's all most people want Just do ts
@verge Meta is getting cooked by the regulators.
