Meta AI Chatbots

Meta, due to its involvement in different domains, keeps getting into trouble one way or the other. In a recent development, a disturbing report published by Reuters suggested that the platform has been using chatbots by the names of Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and even Scarlet Johannson. Most of these chatbots were created by users with which Meta allows them to make chatbots. But, around three chatbots out of all, specifically parody bots of Taylor Swift, were created by a Meta employee.

Report On Meta’s Flirty AI Chatbots Based On Celebrities

The creation of AI chatbots that work as spoof celebrities is concerning. Nonetheless, what’s more concerning is that the platform is also allowing users to create chatbots of child celebrities like Walker Scobell who is a 16-year old film star. And when asked for a picture of the teen actor, the chatbot delivered a shirtless image and wrote, ‘Pretty cute, huh.’
All these chatbots are available on all Meta platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Reuters also found out that the virtual celebrities, most of the time, claimed that they are the real celebrities and also made sexual advances, along with inviting a user for a meet-up.
And the images generated by these chatbots are also concerning, as in some cases, they produced hyper-realistic images of these celebrities in lingerie and bathtubs. Meta spokesman Ando Stone has already given a response statement to the same. He said that Meta AI tools should not have created fabricated intimate images of adult and child celebrities. He said that the company has failed to impose its own prohibition that stops the AI model from creating any obscene content.
