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.
