Meta apparently believes that AI can learn to do better. The company just announced BlenderBot 3, a much more advanced chatbot designed to learn through conversation without getting into the kind of trouble that derailed Tay. Meta’s technology also uses advances in AI that have produced much more linguistically capable computer programs in recent years. In June, a Google employee who chatted at length with one such AI chatbot, called LaMDA, went so far as to argue that it is sentient. WIRED decided to go straight to the source and ask BlenderBot 3 about itself.
