Fuck AI

Effing funny. Turn it off then. It's not unintended use of the platform. It's at this point in time an uncontrollable operation.

Meanwhile, experts behind the latest investigation are appalled at Character's inability to ward off harmful content for underage users.

I must point out here that the first bulwark of corrective action is the purview of parents/guardians. You can blame these effing companies for having minor-grooming chat bots, which they should not have. Not even in a testing phase. But we cannot just work this one angle. We cannot let parents et al off the hook. You have to have a least three talks now with the kids. Birds and bees, social media and online bullying/predators, and so-called AI. As bad as I feel for the parents of teenagers who took their own life: it wasn't just the chat bot, was it.
