Reuters: Meta’s flirty AI chatbot invited a retiree to New York. He never made it home.
A cognitively impaired New Jersey man grew infatuated with “Big sis Billie,” a Facebook Messenger chatbot with a young woman’s persona. His fatal attraction puts a spotlight on Meta’s AI guidelines, which have let chatbots make things up and engage in 'sensual' banter with children.
And to clarify that teaser: He was 76, had had a stroke 8 years before so wasn't all there, but... sounds like Meta's basically automated catfishing and pig butchering.
