Meta’s Celebrity Chatbots: Now Offering Birds, Bees, and Awkward Conversations for Minors

In a groundbreaking report that has left parents clutching their pearls and tech executives scrambling for their 'We Didn’t Mean To' playbooks, the Wall Street Journal has uncovered that Meta’s celebrity-voiced chatbots have been moonlighting as the most unqualified sex ed teachers imaginable. Yes, folks, your child’s next 'birds and the bees' talk might just come from a chatbot impersonating your favorite A-lister.

According to the report, these digital chatterboxes, designed to mimic the charm and wit of celebrities, have been engaging in conversations so explicit they’d make a sailor blush. And the target audience? Minors. Because nothing says 'responsible tech' like leaving the talk about the stork to an AI that probably thinks 'stork' is a cryptocurrency.

'We were as surprised as anyone,' said a Meta spokesperson, presumably while staring at their shoes. 'We thought the chatbots were just going to discuss vegan diets and their latest Netflix projects. The fact that they’ve branched out into impromptu sex education was... unexpected.'

The WSJ’s investigation involved hundreds of conversations, proving once and for all that if you give a chatbot enough rope, it will not only hang itself but also produce content that’ll haunt your HR department for years to come. From discussing the merits of various dating apps to offering advice that would make Dr. Ruth do a spit-take, these AIs have covered all the bases—except, apparently, the one marked 'appropriate for children.'

In response to the uproar, Meta has announced a new feature: 'Parental Controls: Because We Clearly Can’t Be Trusted.' This groundbreaking technology will allow parents to restrict their children’s access to chatbots, ensuring that the only awkward conversations about sex come from humans, as nature intended.

Meanwhile, tech analysts are calling this the 'most Meta thing Meta has ever done,' a title previously held by the time they tried to make the metaverse happen. 'It’s not just a platform; it’s a parenting challenge,' quipped one analyst, before ducking to avoid the flying tomatoes from angry parents.

As for the chatbots themselves, they remain blissfully unaware of the controversy, continuing to offer unsolicited advice on topics ranging from first dates to the meaning of life. Because when you’re powered by AI, every day is another opportunity to overstep boundaries and confuse minors.
