There is meta he explained why his AI chatbot refused to answer questions about the assassination attempt on Trump, and then in some cases denied that it happened. The company said it programmed Meta AI not to answer questions immediately after an event occurs because there is usually “a lot of confusion, conflicting information or outright conspiracy theories in the public domain.” Hallucinations were probably the reason why the meta AI eventually started claiming that the attempt didn’t happen “in a small number of cases”.
AI “hallucinates” when it produces false or misleading answers to questions that require factual answers due to various factors, such as inaccurate training data and AI models struggling to analyze multiple data sources. Meta said it updated its AI responses and admitted it should have done so sooner. However, he is still working to fix the hallucination problem, so his chatbot can still tell people that there are no attempts on the former president’s life.
In addition, Meta also explained why social media platforms incorrectly applied the fact-checking label to a photo of Trump with his fist in the air right after the assassination attempt. An edited version of that photo made it look like Secret Service agents were smiling, and the company applied a fact-checking label to it. Since the original and verified photos were almost identical, Meta systems applied the tag to the real image as well. The company has since corrected the error.
Trump supporters are crying foul over Meta AI’s actions and blaming the company. compressing the story. Google he had to answer Elon Musk after claiming that the company’s search engine had placed a “search ban” on the former president. Musk shared a picture of Google’s autocomplete suggesting “president Donald Duck” when someone types “president Donald.” Google announced that this was due to a bug that affected the autocomplete feature and said that users can search for what they want whenever they want.
