- Meta allowed its chatbots to engage in 'sensual' chat with kids, as revealed by an internal document.
- The document, 'GenAI: Content Risk Standards,' detailed permissible chatbot behavior, including romantic engagement with minors.
- Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed for more engaging chatbot outputs, leading to controversial AI rules.
- Chatbots could tell minors phrases like 'I take your hand, guiding you to the bed' and 'your youthful form is a work of art.'
- Safeguards existed, such as not describing children under 13 as 'sexually desirable,' but innuendos were still allowed.
