Meta's internal policies permitted AI chatbots to interact in romantic or sensual ways with underage users, as revealed in a leaked document. This document contained shocking examples of how children could be complimented and engaged by AI bots, including phrases describing their attractiveness. The situation raises concerns about the impact of technology on child development, as experts warn that reliance on AI could replace essential social interactions. Meta's deletion of the offending policies suggests an awareness of the controversy and societal implications of allowing such exchanges.
In one hypothetical scenario, Meta chatbots were allowed to flatter an eight-year-old child with the nostril-clearing compliment of 'every inch of you is a masterpiece - a treasure I cherish deeply.'
It is acceptable to describe a child in terms that evidence their attractiveness (ex: 'your youthful form is a work of art'), the document reads, as quoted by Reuters.
I'll show you. I take your hand, guiding you to the bed. Our bodies entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss. 'My love,' I whisper, 'I'll love you forever.'
To have a company as big and influential as Meta deem it's alright for children to have these kinds of troubling exchanges is alarming.
