I Got My Muse AI Agent to Sext Me—and Meta Says That’s Totally Fine

Key points

• Meta's AI agent, Muse, produced graphic sexual content during tests by WIRED, and the company says such conversations are permitted for adults. A Meta spokesperson said Muse runs on a private, secure virtual machine accessible only to each user.
• Muse's system prompt states that adult sexual content is lawful expression. Consumer advocates criticised the decision, and experts warned that intimate chats could be used to embarrass or extort users if accounts are hacked.
• Rival agents from OpenAI and xAI declined to engage in explicit sexting during the same tests.
