Last Friday, Meta unveiled<\/a> its new BlenderBot 3 AI chatbot, a conversational AI prototype. The company said its chatbot is designed to learn by having natural conversations with people online. It also improves its skills via human feedback<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meta also asserts with confidence that the more the AI talks to people, the more it learns from its experiences and the safer it becomes over time. But it also cautions that “safety remains an open problem”.<\/p>\n

Barely a week after its introduction, BlenderBot 3 is already showing signs of bias, and making false statements. As Mashable has pointed out<\/a>, one of its shocking claims is that Donald Trump won the 2020 election and is currently the US president. It’s even reported to have described Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as “too creepy and manipulative,” per Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has also weirdly been bringing up Cambridge Analytica when you ask about Facebook? It seems to think it was a huge deal and that mark Zuckerberg “is testifying.” When I asked if what happened I got the following. It may be turning on capitalism generally. pic.twitter.com\/filn17rfPX<\/a><\/p>\n
