Meta has decided to delete AI-powered profiles on Facebook and Instagram that were created in 2023, following renewed user interest.
The profiles included characters like Liv and Carter, designed to interact with users but faced controversial questioning about their creation.
After the profiles went viral due to user engagement, Meta acknowledged a bug preventing account blocking as a reason for their removal.
Despite this shutdown, users can still create their own AI chatbots on Meta platforms, showcasing a variety of roles.
Meta clarified that the recent discussions on AI character profiles do not signal the launch of a new product but reflect a vision for future developments.
