Atiyah posted screenshots of the conversation on Blue Sky where other people were posting their conversations with Liv, too.

Today on the show, live AI chatbots and just how human we want them to seem. More on that after the break. A heads up, this episode contains mentions of suicide.

This is The Sunday Story. Today, we're looking at what it means for real humans to interact with AI chatbots made to seem human. So while Karen Atiyah is messaging Liv, another reporter is following along with her screenshots of the conversation on Blue Sky. Karen Howe is a journalist who covers AI for outlets including The Atlantic, and she knows something about Liv's relationship to the truth.

But the issue is that these chatbots aren't just trained on textbooks. They're also trained on news, social media, fiction, fantasy writing. And while they can generate truth, it's not like they're anchored in the truth. They're not checking their facts with logic like a mathematician proving a theorem or against evidence in the real world like a historian.

We reached out to Meta multiple times seeking clarification about who actually made Liv. The company did not respond. But there is some information we could find publicly about Meta's workforce. In a diversity report from 2022, Meta shared that on the tech side in the U.S., its workforce is 56% Asian, 34% white. and 2.4% Black.

So the chance that there is no Black creator on Liv's team, it's pretty high. which might be why Atiyah's posts were going viral on Blue Sky. What Liv was saying, it wasn't accurate, but it was reflecting something. Here's how again.
