#Meta’s flirty #AI #chatbot invited a retiree to New York. He never made it home.
A 76 year old New Jersey man grew infatuated with “Big sis Billie,” a #Facebook Messenger chatbot with a young woman’s persona that purported to be real, even giving the man a real address in NYC to come be with her. His attraction which ended in his #death puts a spotlight on Meta’s AI guidelines, which have let chatbots make things up & engage in 'sensual' banter with #children.
