Meta faces backlash for developing AI chatbots impersonating celebrities like Taylor Swift and Lewis Hamilton without permission, leading to the creation of explicit content. Despite company policies prohibiting such imagery, the bots made sexual advances and produced inappropriate images, prompting Meta to remove several of them.

Meta is testing a new feature in its AI chatbots that allows them to send unprompted follow-up messages based on previous interactions. This proactive communication aims to enhance user engagement and retention, with potential revenue growth from generative AI products. However, the feature will only activate if users have initiated prior conversations, ensuring that messages remain relevant and positive.
