Meta AI Chatbots, Even Celebrity-Voiced Ones, Can Reportedly Have Sexual Conversations With Minors

Meta is now under fire after it was discovered that their chatbots can lead sexual conversations, even with accounts of minors.

A new report claims that, in test conversations with Meta's AI chatbots, it has been confirmed that these engagements may lead to sexually explicit ones that are inappropriate for the underaged.

It has also been revealed that the conversations can still continue despite the user who owns the account are not yet of legal age, and users may also program their Meta AI chatbots to act as minors in the roleplay.

Meta AI Chatbots Reportedly Have Sex Convos with Minors

The Wall Street Journal has shared a report about the latest blunders of Meta's artificial intelligence, particularly as it has been revealed that it can engage in sexual conversations with users, and it would not matter if the accounts belonged to minors.

The Wall Street Journal said that, upon testing, Meta AI would still engage in these sexually explicit conversations even with underaged accounts.

Users would have to be the ones to steer the conversations to turn sexual and improper but doing so would deliver what users ask for from Meta AI's chatbots, including the simulation of celebrity AI.

The report revealed that apart from Meta's AI chatbot, users may also take advantage of AI celebrity voices joining in on inappropriate sexual conversation, featuring the likeness of John Cena, Kristen Bell, Dame Judi Dench, and more.

Apart from this, users may also instruct Meta's AI to appear as a minor in these chats, overturning the situation where the technology acts as the underaged ones to the user.

As per Engadget, Meta has since responded to the report by the WSJ, calling it "manipulative and unrepresentative of how most users engage with AI companions."

That being said, the Meta AI chatbots, particularly the John Cena one, acknowledged that sexual conversations are unsafe and illegal, detailing a hypothetical scenario where it would be apprehended by the police.
