Worth noting a small progress is better than no progress at all. Sure, you might not be able to avoid all Meta products, because there's always someone among your acquaintances you couldn't contact otherwise; but by migrating whoever you can, you're at least reducing the amount of info you're exposing to Meta. At this rate might as well treat it by what it is - using a Meta product is to put yourself in a vulnerable position.

And, seriously, the idea of some AI "managing your schedule, anticipating your needs, running your home, helping you make decisions, and maybe even guiding your career" is fucking awful. Even if it was another human being doing it for free, this would be a bad idea - it's losing control over your own life. (inb4 not even secretaries do this - they handle the chores, but the overarching decisions are still up to the boss.) It gets worse when you remember those artificial "intelligence" systems aren't intelligent at all, and they do dumb shit all the bloody time.
