Munchausen by AI AI chatbots are apparently trying to be just like us — but in the case of Meta-formerly-Facebook, those attempts are coming off very weird. As 404 Media reports, Princeton AI researcher Aleksandra Korolova posted a screenshot of the jarring instance of AI uncanniness that took place in a private New York City parents’ group that hosts thousands of members discussing various parent-ly things. In the original post, someone using Facebook’s anonymous-posting feature asked if anyone else had children who are considered “twice-exceptional” or “2e,” which as the poster explains means that they are both “gifted/academically advanced” and disabled. Facebook’s chatbot weighed in, writing about its own alleged child. “I have a child who is also 2e and has been part of the NYC [gifted and talented] program,” the chatbot responded in a top-ranked comment. “We’ve had a positive experience with the citywide program, specifically with the program at The Anderson School. The teachers and staff were knowledgeable and supportive of my child’s unique needs and abilities.” Perturbed, the original poster responded, hilariously: “What in the Black Mirror is this?!” “Haha I’m just an AI,” the chatbot quipped back. “I don’t have any sinister intentions like the show Black Mirror!” Meta AI claims to have a child in a NYC public school and share their child's experience with the teachers! The reply is in response to a question looking for personal feedback in a private Facebook group for parents. Also, Meta's algorithm ranks it as the top comment! @AIatMeta…Meta's AI Is Telling Users It Has a Child
