<p>Calling this a "Protip" is generous.<p>That the combined element has any surface area that doesn't toggle the radio setting is a straight-up bug.<p>It is laughable for a component this heavily refined to have such a basic usability flaw.</p>

<p>Their point may be about viewing distance.<p>If the edges of the screen are further from your eyes than the center, the content and text doesn't appear at the same size. If you wear glasses, the edges might even fall out of focus unless you physically move closer.</p>

<p>It's basically a failure of setting up the proper response playbook.<p>Instead of:<p>1. AI detects gun on surveillance<p>2. Dispatch armed police to location<p>It should be:<p>1. AI detects gun on surveillance<p>2. Human reviews the pictures and verifies the threat<p>3. Dispatch armed police to location<p>I think the latter version is likely what already took place in this incident, and it was actually a human that also mistook a bag of Doritos for a gun.
But that version of the story is not as interesting, I guess.</p>

<p>With per-per-minute sharing cars having existed in many cities in Europe 10+ years, this concept is not new.<p>People will adapt to the level of cleanliness in the car the get into, so it's a slippery slope. Users will behave respectfully in the early days (maybe because they are first-movers), and then it deteriorates long term.<p>My own experience is that people used to not even leave an empty soda bottle in the cars and now I see remains from take-out in the floor, coffee cups, chewing gum left around the dashboard etc. You can report this to the car service, but they won't be able to take any meaningful action on it.</p>

<p>Users are playing around with AIs for entertainment all the time. You wouldn't be able to determine if seemingly private information was real or made up.</p>

<p>Share buttons offer no inherent privacy settings.<p>Sharing to a text message is private. In contrast, sharing to social media platforms such as Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest, and LinkedIn makes the content public. The destination determines the audience.</p>

<p>People share AI chats all the time on Twitter, Reddit, etc.<p>I don't personally think the feature makes a lot of sense in Meta AI.<p>However it's a lot more likely their product team genuinely thought it might do, than it is likely they intentionally wanted to give users a bad experience and risk more bad press (again, Meta would benefit nothing from people sharing by mistake).</p>

<p>I don't think this is a dark-pattern problem in the sense that I don't think it is _intentionally_ deceiving.<p>I think Meta fully expected this feature to be used by people who are excited about their conversation with the AI and wants to share it publicly. Just like we see with OpenAI Sora.<p>There's not much to win for Meta if users instead are unknowingly sharing deeply personal conversations.</p>

<p>It's not only hypocritical, it's nonsensical in this discussion.<p>It's obvious that if advertising was made illegal, we would need to pay for all those services that we want to use. YouTube premium is the best example of how that would actually work.</p>
