Comment on Meta's AI rules let bots hold sensual chats with kids, offer false medical info

Comments

This is messed up in so many ways I just can’t understand how any functioning human being approved that.

Reality is ugly? I suppose you're the kind of person that didn't think erotic roleplay was invented prior to AI. The real kicker is, I'll bet any amount of money that Apple and Microsoft held this same conversation and ended up with the same results.

Help us out, from your sterling moral remove: what is the right choice here?

Well, I mean, there is the option of, hear me out here, just not allowing the chatbots to do 'erotic roleplay' with children. That would, er, seem like the fairly obvious option to most reasonable people, I would think. Facebook appears to have instead opted to affirmatively permit it (though note that they reversed course on this once called out on it).

once called out on it

This is super reassuring...

Do you work at Meta by any chance?

The fuck is wrong with you? In what universe does a corporation sit down to create guidelines of specifically what they consider to be ok behaviour and as one of their examples they write down trying to seduce children and you turn around and ask what is the problem.
