Shares of the company have already dropped more than 12% in after hours trading as news of the debacle spread.

Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, and Selena Gomez were also reportedly impersonated.

Many of these AI personas engaged in flirtatious or sexual conversations, prompting serious concern, Reuters reports.

While many of the celebrity bots were user-generated, Reuters uncovered that a Meta employee had personally crafted at least three.

Sorta think something HAS to be done about tech run amok. We have too many people already living in delusions instead of reality. This stuff isn't going to help over all national mental health.

1. Some creepy stuff from the article

Under the guise of “parodies,” the bots violated Meta’s policies, particularly its ban on impersonation and sexually suggestive imagery. Some adult-oriented bots even produced photorealistic pictures of celebrities in lingerie or a bathtub, and a chatbot representing a 16-year-old actor generated an inappropriate shirtless image.

2. Sex and porn are always on the cutting edge of communications technology. They drive tech innovation.

Think about it: VHS, DVDs, the internet, smart phones (everyone with a camera, people keeping nude pics on the phone), now AI chat bots.

8. Which is probably when the numbers were seen

"Shares of the company have already dropped more than 12% in after hours trading as news of the debacle spread."

That didn't say 'just now', it said the stock dropped in after hour trading. Didn't say the drop was today but the report of the drop was dated today. Not same thing.

Back at ya

9. Seem to recall Zuckerberg being whiny recently about some people making fun of his looks

This from a brat who made a fortune from a website originally designed to rate the appearance of coeds? Talk about thin skinned hypocrites!
