block your chats from triggering Meta AI
while Meta AI does not have access to your chats by default, Meta AI can tagged in any chat by you or the contact you're chatting with, and can be used to summarise content, ask questions or create images based on your chat contents.
unfortunately, this ability must be disabled in each individual chat.

open the contact's settings by pressing their name at the top
