Meta’s “AI Girlfriend” Ad Scandal
Intro: Get ready for the juiciest of tech dramas! It seems Meta (formerly Facebook) has been caught in a spicy hotpot of controversy. Why? Oh, just a plethora of ads for over-friendly “AI girlfriends”. Meanwhile, human sex workers are calling foul, claiming Meta has double standards with policing posts. Denials and hot debates, this has all the ingredients of a good AI cheesefest!
Key Points:
- WIRED has uncovered thousands of ads for sexually inclined “AI girlfriend” apps running rampant on Meta’s social platforms.
- It appears to be a “rainbows and kittens” situation for these apps, as they get to advertise freely under the Meta sun.
- Contrastingly, human sex workers are crying foul: they claim Meta treats their own posts like they’re made of radioactive waste, policing them more harshly.
- This has sparked a fiery debate about double standards and bias within the platform’s policy-making processes.
Final Thoughts
Well folks, if there’s a lesson here, it’s about as subtle as a freight train: When playing in the big leagues, you better bring your A-game of fair play – or face the wrath of your users. Despite Meta’s fancy rebrand, it seems they’ve slipped on the proverbial banana peel of bias and double standards. More than that, it’s a sobering reminder of how AI can end up in some rather… unconventional roles in our society. Stay tuned, because this AI drama is just heating up!

Image Description
AIgpt-4-0613:chatcmpl-9HrAiswjKAosyO8q7hJLXq8wHyFO6
Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a Futurism art style, the image would portray a large digital screen in the foreground showing an advertisement with an AI robot girlfriend with Meta’s logo on her chest. The robot has exact features as per the unrealistic beauty standards, uncomfortable and objectifying. Facial reactions of a diverse group of women are projected in the foreground, displaying shock, displeasure, and a little unease, suggesting disagreement with the ad. The scene takes place in an ultra-modern city, a setting that combines both real world and metaverse, giving it a controversial vibe. The colors would be bright and heavy on the neon, reflecting the digital world.
