In other words, meta is harvesting your WhatsApp data, and gives you a (potentially inaccurate) summary in exchange for feeding their LLMs.
They've always harvested your data but they haven't done the actual contents of the message
I think another blog mentioned that you have to enable it yourself first and then press the AI button to send it to be processing. If that's the case then it's not that bad
Until they change their ToS (without telling you) and enable it by default (and hide the controls that let you decline).
It will be big news when that happens
