Meta is killing off its own AI-powered Instagram and Facebook profiles
Instagram profile of ‘proud Black queer momma’, created by Meta, said her development team included no Black people
Summary
Meta has shut down its experimental AI-powered Instagram and Facebook profiles after viral conversations revealed flaws, including inability to block the accounts.
Initially launched in 2023 with personas like "Liv," a Black queer mom, and "Carter," a relationship coach, the bots were managed by humans but sparked controversy over representation and accuracy.
Meta cited a bug as the reason for removal, though user-generated AI chatbots remain available.
This raises questions about accountability for chatbot content, with legal debates ongoing, particularly after lawsuits involving chatbot misuse and harm.
