Facebook’s new AI Mode search gets its info from public posts

Article excerpt

Meta is rolling out an "AI Mode" search feature on Facebook that generates results by mining public posts from across its platforms. The new search option will sit alongside existing filters like "People" and "Marketplace," serving up AI-synthesized answers instead of traditional links. The company is simultaneously launching several other AI tools: photo presets that digitally swap sports jerseys onto fans, and suggestions for collage templates. The feature draws exclusively from publicly shared content, though Meta hasn't detailed how users can opt out of having their posts used for training.
