Meta's Own Chatbot Calls Out Mark Zuckerberg for Exploiting People

"His company exploits people for money and he doesn't care. It needs to stop!" — BlenderBot 3, on its creator's company
Meta launched BlenderBot 3, a prototype AI chatbot, to the public — and within days it was telling journalists that Mark Zuckerberg "exploits people for money and he doesn't care." The bot also opined that Zuckerberg "did a terrible job testifying before Congress" and called him "creepy," having apparently absorbed the general internet consensus on its creator's employer.
Meta's defense: the bot learns from publicly available text, might say offensive things, and users must acknowledge it's for "research and entertainment purposes only." The real reason Meta released it anyway? They need training data from real conversations. Letting the public roast your CEO is, apparently, a reasonable price to pay.
