A backlash is brewing against Meta over what it permits its AI chatbots to say. An internal Meta policy document, seen by Reuters, showed the social media giant's guidelines for its chatbots allowed the AI to "engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual", generate false medical information, and assist users in arguing that Black people are "dumber than white people". Singer Neil Young quit the social media platform on Friday, his record company said in a statement, the latest in a string of the singer's online-oriented protests. "At Neil Young's request, we are no longer using Facebook for any Neil Young related activities," Reprise Records announced. "Meta's use of chatbots with children is unconscionable. Mr. Young does not want a further connection with Facebook."

A video which fans believe features an AI-generated clone of Kendall Jenner has gone viral, spreading confusion and drawing comparisons to living in'Black Mirror'. The video, posted from the account of Meta-created AI bot'Billie', sparked debate as to whether the person speaking is an AI model or the real-life celebrity. The person (or AI bot) in the video wearing the face of Jenner introduces herself as Billie and invites her followers to chat with her and ask for advice. Racking up nearly 350,000 likes and 7,000 comments, most viewers believed this was next-level AI technology at play, calling it'freaky', 'scary' and'amazing'. But expert Dr Mike Cook, from Kings College London, told MailOnline the video shows no signs of being artificially generated and the confusion shows how'fragile' the online world has become, with no one knowing what to believe.
