Meta AI is coming to Threads, and some users aren’t thrilled

Threads is rolling out Meta AI , which will provide real-time context when mentioned in a post or reply. Connor Hayes, head of Threads, posted on the app Tuesday about the thinking behind Meta AI’s new feature. “We’re starting to test a way to get context on a Threads conversation by mentioning Meta AI in a post or reply. This will start in a handful of countries today and expand over time,” Hayes said . “Conversations here move fast. A lot of people want to look things up before jumping in. We want to make that easier. Ask Meta AI to get real-time context about a trend, breaking story, or get recommendations right in the conversation.” The new Meta AI Threads account encourages users to “tag @ meta.ai to get context, closure, or comedy,” and includes a video demonstrating how Meta AI can be used by tagging the account in any conversation. Tagging “Meta AI” is currently being tested in Argentina, Malaysia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, with plans to expand to more countries soon
