Eli Tan shared his experience using Meta's AI assistant, Muse, which he gave access to his email, calendar, and bank accounts for two weeks. He found it to be a helpful tool, particularly for personal finance, though he noted potential concerns about outsourcing decision-making to AI and Meta's data privacy history.
“I gave it access to my email, my calendar, my bank accounts. I let it do everything for two weeks. And I wrote about it and I found it to be one of the most helpful AI tools that I've used.”
“Personally, after my experiment, I think the thing that I'll use it most for is probably just personal finance, tracking all the things I'm spending.”
“I would not trust Instinct with my banking data personally. But I would trust Meta in this case.”
