  "account": "The latest AI agent from Meta, called Muse, took center stage at the company's annual Connect event, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighting the company's plans to push AI features everywhere. However, as Meta's AI announcements appeared to steal the spotlight during a week of new model launches from OpenAI and Anthropic, it sparked a mix of reactions. While other big AI companies focused on coding and enterprise tools, Meta chose a consumer focus and introduced a cute, adult-only AI device. Despite initial curiosity, Sean O'Kane, who tried Muse for himself, found the feature more of a \"party-trick\" rather than something that could drive ongoing usage. Moreover, there are concerns about whether users can trust Meta's AI with sensitive information, given the company's primary business model of selling ads based on user data.",
