Meta blames hallucinations after its AI said Trump rally shooting didn’t happen

Meta says it first blocked its AI from answering questions about the shooting but removed the restriction after people noticed.

Meta’s AI assistant incorrectly said that the recent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump didn’t happen, an error a company executive is now attributing to the technology powering its chatbot and others.

In a company blog post published on Tuesday, Joel Kaplan, Meta’s global head of policy, calls the responses of its AI to questions about the shooting “unfortunate.” He says Meta AI was first programmed to not respond to questions about the attempted assassination but the company removed that restriction after people started noticing. He also acknowledges that “in a small number of cases, Meta AI continued to provide incorrect answers, including sometimes asserting that the event didn’t happen – which we are quickly working to address.”

You mean to tell me these bots just spit out garbage fed into them from training data with no critical thought of their own??>

Blah. There are rumours that he only got hit in his ear by a piece of glass near him. Who knows? He was out golfing without a bandage then the next day had some big thing on him.

They'll be running spaceships next.

More seriously, I see this as just another neon god for people to pray to.

Human sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria...

Meta's moral code needs some Viagra. It's a little limp.
