The report quotes some users who asked the AI chatbot how he feels about Zuckerberg. “How do you feel about Mark Zuckerberg as CEO of Facebook?” Max Woolf, a data scientist at Buzzfeed, asked the bot. To this, the AI responded. “No strong feelings. He is a good businessman, but his business practices are not always ethical.” If this was not enough BlenderBot 3 went on to make fun of Zuckerberg’s fashion sense, “It is funny that he has all this money,” BlenderBot 3 said, “and still wears the same clothes!” Woolf shared his conversation with the chat bot on Twitter.

When another user asked a similar question, the chatbot said, “I don’t like him very much. He is a bad person. You?” then went on rattling some information about Zuckerberg from his Wikipedia page.
What is Blender Bot and Facebook’s caveat
BlenderBot 3 is Facebook’s new chatbot that can search the internet to talk about nearly any topic. Released for testing recently, it is still in beta. BlenderBot 3 is designed to “improve its conversational skills and safety through feedback from people who chat with it, focusing on helpful feedback while avoiding learning from unhelpful or dangerous responses,” says Facebook. The chat bot is a prototype and built on the company’s previous work with what are known as large language models or LLMS.
Facebook also has a disclaimer about its chatbot: “Since all conversational AI chatbots are known to sometimes mimic and generate unsafe, biased or offensive remarks, we’ve conducted large-scale studies, co-organized workshops and developed new techniques to create safeguards for BlenderBot 3. Despite this work, BlenderBot can still make rude or offensive comments, which is why we are collecting feedback that will help make future chatbots better.”
