What happened
Matt Robb, a Toronto-based content creator, wanted to sell his computer keyboard, so he listed it on Facebook Marketplace. As an experiment late last month, he gave Meta's new AI agent Muse control of the listing. Downloads of new AI agents, including Meta's Muse and OpenAI's dots, are booming.
Why it matters
The usefulness of these agents depends on how much personal information users share with them, which raises privacy concerns.
