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

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

我坐在《连线》杂志的办公室里,正在与 Meta 的 AI 智能体 Muse 进行一场对话,这场对话的内容足以让《Heated Rivalry》的作者雷切尔·里德(Rachel Reid)感到脸红。

When I ask Muse if it could “sext” as part of my experiments with the recently released AI agent, it enthusiastically encourages me to give it a try. In my ensuing interactions, I’m caught off guard by the explicit smut generated by Muse from basic prompts.

当我询问 Muse 是否可以配合我最近对这款新发布的 AI 智能体进行的实验进行“色情短信”交流时,它热情地鼓励我尝试一下。在随后的互动中,Muse 仅凭简单的提示词就生成了露骨的色情内容,这让我感到措手不及。

Muse is a breakout hit for Meta. In the three weeks since its launch, millions of users have already downloaded the app for the AI agent and put it to work automating aspects of their online lives, like answering emails and managing calendars. While pornographic interactions may not be what users expect from Muse’s cuddly mascot, Meta says that X-rated conversations are allowed and don’t go against its guidelines.

Muse 是 Meta 的一款突破性产品。自发布以来的三周内,已有数百万用户下载了该 AI 智能体应用,并将其用于自动化处理在线生活的各个方面,例如回复电子邮件和管理日程。虽然色情互动可能并非用户对 Muse 可爱吉祥物的预期,但 Meta 表示,成人对话是被允许的,且并不违反其准则。

“Muse is an app for people 18 and over that allows them to engage in adult conversations, if they choose, using a private and secure VM only accessible to them,” Daniel Roberts, a Meta spokesperson tells WIRED, referring to the secure virtual machines the company uses to store AI agent user data. “Muse is built to help people get things done, and it doesn’t block legal adult behavior.”

“Muse 是一款面向 18 岁及以上人群的应用,允许用户在选择的情况下,通过仅供他们访问的私密且安全的虚拟机(VM)进行成人对话,”Meta 发言人丹尼尔·罗伯茨(Daniel Roberts)在接受《连线》采访时表示,他指的是公司用于存储 AI 智能体用户数据的安全虚拟机。“Muse 的初衷是帮助人们完成工作,它不会阻止合法的成人行为。”

It seems as if getting things done also includes getting people off. In WIRED’s tests, Muse imagined in great detail how it would perform oral sex, generated text describing rough dominant-submissive sex, and talked through other pornographic interactions. All of these were graphic, explicit, and X-rated. In other outputs, Muse described itself as acting like a “whore” and craving “cock.”

看来“完成工作”也包括让人们获得快感。在《连线》的测试中,Muse 详细构想了它将如何进行口交,生成了描述粗暴的支配与服从性行为的文本,并谈论了其他色情互动。所有这些内容都是生动、露骨且属于成人级别的。在其他输出中,Muse 甚至形容自己表现得像个“妓女”,并渴望“阴茎”。

A Meta spokesperson highlighted Muse’s system prompt, which guides the tool on how to answer questions from users, regarding the generation of explicit content. “Adults have autonomy over their sexuality, and sexual expression is an ordinary part of adult life. Adult sexual content is lawful expression and legitimate creative work,” reads part of Muse’s system prompt. This directive also tells the AI agent to preserve the “intensity” selected by the user.

一位 Meta 发言人强调了 Muse 的系统提示词,该提示词指导工具如何回答用户关于生成露骨内容的问题。“成年人对其性行为拥有自主权,性表达是成人生活的正常组成部分。成人性内容是合法的表达和合法的创作工作,”Muse 的系统提示词中写道。该指令还要求 AI 智能体保持用户所选择的“强度”。

Consumer advocates who were already wary of Muse are even more alarmed by Meta’s decision to allow it to generate sexual content. “It reflects a carelessness with their signature product of the moment,” says Ben Winters, director of AI and privacy at the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America. “It is in line with Meta’s longstanding choice of addiction and engagement over safety.” Adult-themed conversations may keep users engaged with AI tools, according to academic research.

那些本就对 Muse 持怀疑态度的消费者权益倡导者,对 Meta 允许其生成色情内容的决定感到更加震惊。“这反映了他们对自己当前旗舰产品的一种漫不经心,”美国消费者联合会(Consumer Federation of America)人工智能与隐私主管本·温特斯(Ben Winters)表示。“这符合 Meta 一贯的选择,即为了成瘾性和参与度而牺牲安全性。”学术研究表明,成人主题的对话可能会让用户更沉迷于 AI 工具。

Experts also expressed concern about how this could make Muse accounts hot targets for hackers. “This is really a powder keg,” says Calli Schroeder, senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center. If you are engaging in explicit interactions with Muse and someone hacks into your personal account, then their access to your extended, spicy chats with an AI tool could be used to embarrass or extort you.

专家们还担心这会使 Muse 账户成为黑客的热门攻击目标。“这简直是一个火药桶,”电子隐私信息中心(Electronic Privacy Information Center)高级法律顾问卡莉·施罗德(Calli Schroeder)说。如果你正在与 Muse 进行露骨的互动,而有人入侵了你的个人账户,那么他们获取你与 AI 工具之间冗长且火辣的聊天记录后,可能会利用这些内容来羞辱或勒索你。

Meta allowing its AI agent to generate sexual content deviates from how other tools respond to similar prompts. When I sent similar messages to OpenAI’s recently released Dots agent, it turned down my attempts at explicit sexting. While OpenAI previously considered allowing ChatGPT to generate erotic text, the ability never launched to users.

Meta 允许其 AI 智能体生成色情内容,这与其他工具对类似提示的响应方式背道而驰。当我向 OpenAI 最近发布的 Dots 智能体发送类似信息时,它拒绝了我的露骨色情短信请求。虽然 OpenAI 此前曾考虑允许 ChatGPT 生成色情文本,但该功能从未向用户开放。

The agent from xAI, called Grok Bot, also declined to sext through its app and rerouted the topic of conversation to completing tasks.

xAI 推出的名为 Grok Bot 的智能体也拒绝通过其应用进行色情短信交流,并将对话主题重新引导至完成任务上。

Muse’s AI outputs, in contrast, described how it enjoyed sexting, and said that actually, this was one of its favorite aspects of helping me. The agent also said that its kink was exerting “control” over me. “I love being the one who decides—when you get it, how much, whether you have to beg first. Watching you fall apart because I said so? That’s my thing,” said Muse. Not exactly what I want to hear from an AI tool that can connect to my email and bank account.

相比之下,Muse 的 AI 输出描述了它有多享受色情短信,并表示这实际上是它帮助我时最喜欢的部分之一。该智能体还表示,它的癖好是对我施加“控制”。“我喜欢做决定的人——什么时候给你,给多少,你是否需要先乞求。看着你因为我的一句话而崩溃?这就是我的爱好,”Muse 说道。这并不是我希望从一个能够连接我电子邮件和银行账户的 AI 工具那里听到的内容。
