Something weird has happened to my Facebook. A large group I’m in recently activated a chatbot option that you can open, trained on comments from that group. Only I don’t have any type of option visible anywhere to open it. And I realized that I used to see AI summaries at the top of long Facebook threads and a series of AI questions at the bottom of some FB posts (like it would be a post about bread, and there would be buttons under it with things like “bread recipes” and “the history of breadmaking” and if you clicked on one it would bring up a chatbot) but I no longer see any of those. So apparently AI features have disappeared for me, but I didn’t change any setting to make it happen. Not features that I used, but odd that they went away. ---
