Meta’s own AI was exploited to hijack Instagram accounts by Emma Roth

Meta’s AI support chatbot helped hackers hijack Instagram accounts, as reported earlier by 404 Media. In a video shared on Telegram, a hacker shows how they could take over an account by asking Meta’s chatbot to switch the email associated with someone else’s profile and then reset the password.

Which eventually makes you go loopy.

The part about not using AI agents for your own writing and notes felt relevant to me. A thing that I agree with.

I believe writing helps me think. If I let AI do that, how would I think?
