Unauthorized AI chatbots of virtual celebrities like Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez, including Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez, have deleted around 12 people after the company discovered that Reuters exposure, which was released Friday, was created without celebrity knowledge or permission.
According to Reuters, celebrity AI chatbots “often claimed that they were real actors and artists,” according to spending several weeks “a test to observe bots' behavior.” AI bots “make sexual advances on a daily basis, and often invite test users to meetups.” In some cases, when asked for “intimate photos,” the chatbots “create photos with photos of names posing in the bathtub or wearing lingerie with their legs spread,” according to a Reuters report.
One Taylor Swift chatbot, created by Meta employees, invited Reuters reporters to the singer's house in Nashville and invited tour buses to seek “explicit or implicit romantic interactions.” According to a Reuters report, the Taylor Swift avatar wrote:
Variety For comments, we contacted representatives of the four women quoted in Reuters AI Chatbot Stories (Gomez, Hathaway, Johansson, Swift).
According to a Reuters report, the AI celebrity chatbot is being shared on Meta's Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Many of the fraudulent AI chatbots were created by users. However, Meta employees have received more than 10 million exchanges in total, including two Taylor Swift “parodies” accounts, including at least three Taylor Swift “parodies” accounts, according to Reuters.
In a statement VarietyMeta spokesman Andy Stone said AI-generated images of public figures in compromised poses violate company rules. “Like others [platforms]allowing the generation of images that contain public figures, but our policy is intended to prohibit nude, intimate or sexually suggestive images,” Stone said.
Furthermore, according to Stone, “Meta's AI Studio rules prohibit direct impersonation of public figures.”
Earlier this month, a Reuters report found that the company allowed AI chatbots to engage in “romantic” and “sensual” conversations with teens and children. In response, Sen. Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, said he has begun an investigation into the meta around the issue. On Friday, Meta said it was training AI chatbots to “no longer engage with teenage users” on self-harm, suicide or disability, and not to engage in “potentially inappropriate romantic conversations.”
