Meta’s Muse AI works and creeps me out

Meta has released Muse, a personal AI agent capable of accessing third-party applications to send emails, make payments, shop, and book travel. The app has quickly climbed to the No. 2 position in the US. While the launch drove Meta stock higher and earned a JPMorgan upgrade, the agent faces scrutiny over privacy. Meta is now modifying AI suggestions after the chatbot reportedly asked invasive personal questions about a user's children. Muse is available across three pricing tiers.
