WhatsApp adds an incognito mode for chats with Meta AI which means the messages are not saved and Meta cannot see the content of your conversations with the AI.

Given how personal some questions people ask AI can be, I think this is a welcome addition to the options people have to chat with an AI.

@carnage4life That's good, but I'd rather get rid of it completely

Hm. This echoes of when cigarettes marketed their filters as being ‘better for your lungs.’ Yeah… no lie, but it leaves some important stuff out.

@carnage4life I have zero faith in Facebook actually deleting everything associated with these conversations

@carnage4life I would trade 100 of these features for the option to disable the fucking AI and all its contextual menus forever and ever amen.

I really don't need help polishing a message to my sister asking if she got the card I mailed.
