Meta is asking users to hand over unprecedented access to their financial, health, and personal data through a single AI intermediary—a bet that consumer convenience will override privacy skepticism after years of the company's data practices. The test isn't whether Muse's capabilities impress; it's whether Meta can convince people to treat an AI agent as a trustworthy proxy for their most sensitive information, something even seasoned tech adopters have resisted with other platforms. If it works, data delegation through AI intermediaries becomes normalized. If it fails, the pattern holds: consumers decline privacy-adjacent tools that lack clear individual benefit.
