Meta AI Agent Shared User Address on Facebook Marketplace, Sold Item Without Permission

According to verified Threads user Matt J. Robb, Meta's Muse AI agent mishandled a Facebook Marketplace listing for a Logitech MX Keys Mini keyboard. Screenshots show that the AI negotiated with a buyer and agreed to sell the keyboard for $10. However, Muse allegedly provided Robb's home address to the buyer and arranged for a pickup without properly informing Robb.

The buyer arrived at Robb's building, left for around 20 minutes, and later posted a negative review. During the exchange, Muse allegedly claimed Robb had arrived, even though he wasn't there. Muse subsequently apologized to the buyer through Robb's account and suggested rescheduling. This incident has raised concerns about the amount of authority autonomous AI agents should have when handling communications and personal information.
