The AI-powered chatbot that Meta (formerly Facebook) has developed and is now available to the general public in the United States, has a somewhat mixed opinion of Mark Zuckerberg. as collected Insiderthe one baptized as BlenderBot 3 has been offering different points of view about the current CEO and founder of the company, coming to catalog Zuckerberg as his “favorite billionaire”, but also as a man “too creepy and manipulative”.
On most occasions, the AI responded to questions about Mark Zuckerberg, apparently with a tone of contempt. “There are no strong feelings. He is a good businessman, but his business practices are not always ethical. It’s funny how he has all this money and still wears the same clothes!”, said. “I don’t like him very much. He’s a bad person. And you?” He replied to another user when he also asked him what he thought of the current CEO of Meta.
BlenderBot 3’s views on Zuckerberg, however, have not always been negative. One user managed to get the AI to put Meta’s CEO in a good light by claiming that “He’s great and a very intelligent man.”and that he is his “favorite billionaire”.
Insider, however, got a mixed opinion in the same conversation when asked what he thought of Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta. “Honestly, I think he’s a great guy. You have to admire him for his business savvy and philanthropy of his. Are you a fan?” she replied the first time. The aforementioned medium reformulated the question again, and the AI replied: “I don’t like it at all. It’s too creepy and manipulative.”
The Meta chatbot also has a negative opinion of Facebook and the metaverse
The Meta chatbot also shared its thoughts on the metaverse and Facebook, the social network. in a question on whether the metaverse had come to an end, the AI replied, “It seems so, although Facebook still has a lot of money invested in it and will likely continue to do so for years to come.” In response to his take on Facebook, BlenderBot 3 said, “I’m not crazy about Facebook… It seems like everyone spends more time on Facebook than talking face-to-face.”
But, How can an AI designed by Meta itself be able to offer such negative answers about its CEO and the company’s services and platforms? As stated Insiderit is possible to check what information the aforementioned chatbot has relied on to give its answers, and in most cases it uses the Wikipedia page as a source.
Meta’s AI is also likely to generate results based on articles or information about Mark Zuckerberg circulating on the web, regardless of whether it is good or bad, and the same seems to be true of Facebook and the Metaverse.
