Neil Young Leaves Facebook & Instagram Over “Unconscionable” Policies for AI Chatbot Conversations With Children

25 comments

Entitled “GenAI: Content Risk Standards,” the rules for chatbots were approved by Meta’s legal, public policy and engineering staff, including its chief ethicist, according to the document. Running to more than 200 pages....
They probably just asked AI to summarize it for them and never read it.
better decades late than never, i suppose
Neil Young is very vocal about leaving platforms he somehow finds his way back to when people aren’t paying attention. I don’t disagree in this case but it’s not exactly a barometer of artists in general.
Pornography and violence or whatever are being age gated in the corporate web but the biggest players get to sell sex chats to kids. Pedophilia is legal as long as there is ad revenue to be made.
Neil, you’re welcome here on the Fediverse.
He also ragequit Spotify some years back
- And went back to it
  
  I guess he really needed the $1.39 he was getting every year from them.
I'm surprised he was on those platforms in the first place. Kneel Young.
What's the context? Haven't heard about Meta anything in a while.
- Meta’s chatbots held ‘sensual’ chats with kids, offered false medical info.
  
  When I read the headlines about this initially yesterday I was like ‘oh, is this a conservative thing where they’re mad about kids asking the chat bot questions about sex?’
  So I read the examples, and HOLY SHIT it is so not that! There is no way to describe it except erotic roleplay that is explicitly about children.
  Given the prompt examples I am skeptical that any child would write them, they sound more like shit they grabbed off some pedo ERP site.
  
  It sounds like some idiot working at Meta used an LLM to produce that internal document. Those "acceptable things to say" quotes are just stupid. They have to be quotes an LLM added to the document, unnoticed. There's no way a human wrote them, or even copied and pasted into the doc, and said, "These are acceptable." I refuse to believe that.
He is Young and he has every right to leave. AI is dumb and may start conversation with him.
Good for him
Is he still using any other Meta products? If no then hell yeah Neil but if still using Instagram etc. then this matters not.
Edit: I can't read.
- Did you even read the post title? It's like the fifth word my guy.
  
  Read? What is this, a library? My bad.
- It literally says he also left Instagram
