The Verge
Meta is testing an AI integration on Threads that users are currently unable to block, sparking significant backlash on the platform.

Summary

Meta has introduced a new feature on Threads that allows users to tag a Meta AI account to answer questions or provide context. Currently being tested in specific international markets, the feature has drawn criticism because users are unable to block the Meta AI account. While Meta states that users can mute or hide AI replies and mark posts as "Not interested," the inability to fully block the account has led to widespread user frustration and trending discussions regarding the lack of control over the AI integration.
