Conservative activist Robby Starbuck sues Meta over AI responses about him

Conservative activist Robby Starbuck has filed a defamation lawsuit against Meta alleging that the social media giant's artificial intelligence chatbot spread false statements about him, including that he participated in the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Starbuck, known for targeting corporate DEI programs, said he discovered the claims made by Meta's AI in August 2024, when he was going after woke DEI policies at motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson. One dealership was unhappy with me and they posted a screenshot from Meta's AI in an effort to attack me, he said in a post on X. This screenshot was filled with lies. I couldn't believe it was real so I checked myself. It was even worse when I checked. Since then, he said he has faced a steady stream of false accusations that are deeply damaging to my character and the safety of my family.

Working to differentiate itself in the crowded field of artificial intelligence, Meta Platforms has launched a standalone AI app with a social media component to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT. The Meta AI app, built with the company's Llama 4 AI system. It includes a discover feed that lets users see how others are interacting with AI. It also has a voice mode for interacting with the AI.

The app's Discover feed is like a version of the OG Facebook Feed but only focused on AI use cases," said Forrester research director Mike Proulx. By letting users link their Facebook and Instagram accounts, the Meta AI app gets a leg up on instantly personalising its user experience with social media context. Meta has taken a different approach to AI than many of its rivals, releasing it for free as an open-source product. The company says more than a billion people use its AI products
