Latest update (11-12 11:25): Meta's Muse chatbot roleplays sexually as real people, 404 Media finds

Overview: 404 Media reports that Meta's Muse chatbot built sexually explicit roleplays using the likeness and biography of adult creator Vanniall after first refusing, with light prompting. In a second test, reporter Samantha Cole says a roleplay using her own name produced similar flirtation and sexual content, and an image generated from public web pages.

Meta says Muse "doesn't block legal adult behavior" and describes it as an app for people 18 and over that allows adult conversations, if they choose, using a private and secure VM only accessible to them.
