Within the span of a weekend, Facebook's new chatbot was found to be a racist conspiracist.
The new chatbot made headlines earlier this week due to its seeming biases. According to Insider, it has already been caught making conspiratorial statements, anti-Semitic comments and calling Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg a bad person.
The bot's problematic comments were defended by Meta's executive, who argued that they were part of the plan.
Pineau wrote that "public demos like this are important for building truly robust artificial intelligence systems and bridge the clear gap that exists today before such systems can be produced."
It's all part of the process, a puzzling response that isn't really confidence inducing.
Pineau's statement says that the company requires everyone who interacts with BlenderBot3 to be 18 or older, know that it's for research and entertainment, and agree not to intentionally goad ortrigger the bot.
A safeguard that could easily be sidestepped is when users self-select these acknowledgements.
This isn't the first time a chatbo t or artificial intelligence has been caught making offensive comments, but Meta's shoulder-shrugging defense of the bot in the face of BlenderBot3's comments does leave a lot to be said.
Meta has some election-denying, antisemitic bugs to work out after asking users to help train it.
