Some early users are deleting personal AI agents, citing privacy scares and blunders
Some early users cited fears about email access, data handling, and agents acting on their accounts.
Early adopters of AI agents like Instinct and Meta's Muse are deleting them due to privacy concerns and security blunders, according to Business Insider. Users have reported issues such as agents accessing one-time login codes without permission, hallucinating personal information, and triggering login prompts from foreign locations.
Some users, like Guto Martino, have deleted Instinct due to uncertainty about how their information is handled. Meta has stated that Muse has robust privacy protections, but concerns remain. Instinct did not respond to requests for comment. Despite the issues, many users continue to experiment with the technology, but they are exercising caution and limiting the sensitive data they share with these agents.
