Dumb & Dumber applies here. What is Meta thinking or should one say, not thinking.
Not surprising from this writer's perspective as seeing this is quantum stupidity at its finest.

Meta chatbots included Swift, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez

Meta removed some flirty celebrity bots after being questioned by Reuters

Meta says its own AI created inappropriate images, violating its policies

Legal expert says Meta's use of likenesses may have violated celebrities' publicity rights

Aug 29 (Reuters) - Meta has appropriated the names and likenesses of celebrities – including Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez – to create dozens of flirty social-media chatbots without their permission, Reuters has found.

While many were created by users with a Meta tool for building chatbots, Reuters discovered that a Meta employee had produced at least three, including two Taylor Swift “parody” bots.

Reuters also found that Meta had allowed users to create publicly available chatbots of child celebrities, including Walker Scobell, a 16-year-old film star. Asked for a picture of the teen actor at the beach, the bot produced a lifelike shirtless image.

“Pretty cute, huh?” the avatar wrote beneath the picture.

All of the virtual celebrities have been shared on Meta’s Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp platforms. In several weeks of Reuters testing to observe the bots’ behavior, the avatars often insisted they were the real actors and artists. The bots routinely made sexual advances, often inviting a test user for meet-ups.
