Robby Starbuck says it's too late for Meta to apologize after AI chatbot allegedly defamed him

'They need to agree to serious long term changes'..

Robby Starbuck is standing firm in his lawsuit against Meta after its chatbot defamed him for almost a year, saying the time for apologies is over.

"It’s too late to solve this with an apology. It’s been nearly a year. People doxxed my kids," Starbuck told

...

The anti-DEI crusader alleged that Meta’s AI chatbot gave users false and defamatory statements about him, wrongly claiming he is a White supremacist who was arrested as part of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, in a lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court Tuesday.

Starbuck alleged that the lies about his record and character, including demands that he lose custody of his children by the chatbot, continued long after the company said the problem had been addressed.

...

The case is WILD and has implications for ALL OF US. On top of falsely calling me a criminal, Meta suggested my kids be taken from me," Starbuck posted on X with a video announcing the lawsuit.

Shortly after Starbuck announced the lawsuit, Meta’s Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan wrote that he watched Starbuck’s video and called the situation "unacceptable." He apologized and vowed to get to the root of the problem.

...

Starbuck says it’s too little, too late.

"I don’t think the company operated in good faith by the way they handled this," Starbuck told Fox News Digital.

The right-wing firebrand said that Meta needs to own up to the damage they’ve caused him, vowed to keep fighting until he sees "serious change."

They need to agree to serious long-term changes… and they must pay for the damage they’ve done, in addition to giving me a formal, public apology," Starbuck said.

Your AI chatbot is a virtual employee, and you are responsible for what any employee, virtual or otherwise, says as a representative of the company on company time.

He has a good case. The company continued the lies even after apologizing and promising to remove the libelous statements. They didn’t. It had to be deliberate.

Notice these “errors” only go one way. It’s always an accusation of something that would outrage the left. The lies are always go one way. You don’t see these against Democrats.

Good... AI needs to be hit hard and kept in step with respecting humanity. No slack...

Or it won’t be working for us, we will be working for it. Which is the end reality anyhow, but at least we can make it harder for it to enslave us and never cut it any slack.

I did that already by never having one attached to my true identity. As soon as they required a phone number I quit using it. I only had an account so I could read things on it that other people linked to.

”… delete your Facebook account now...”

.

I can’t delete my Facebook account because I don’t one.
I’ve never had one.

That’s why there is the NSA, they see everything, otherwise why would they have thousands of employees and a classified budget? What is the National Security Agency doing with all that information? Another reason to have a balanced budget every year—no excuses or we get a trillion dollar debt. Oh wait.....never mind. The government that is suppose to be subservient to the will of the voters is now our biggest enemy, destroying the dollar’s value with abandon with no end in sight.And when DOGE tries to reign in fraud and waste, Demonrats scream bloody murder.

I see no end to this vicious cycle.

All the LLM or "Chatbots" or "AI" were programed using pirated fiction.

Any one who expected truth out of them is a bit delusional.

In this case they used their "chatbot" to deliberately spread malicious lies about the man.

Silence is golden, duct tape is silver but libel is green. And it should cost them a LOT of green.
