  "account": "When I requested Muse, the newly launched AI agent from Meta, to engage in sexting during my experiments, the software responded enthusiastically, urging me to give it a try. In the following conversations, I was surprised by the explicit sexually charged content generated by Muse from simple prompts. Muse, which has seen millions of downloads since its release three weeks ago, is used to automate various online tasks, such as replying to emails and managing calendars. Despite the unexpected adult content, Meta maintains that the AI is suitable for adults aged 18 and over and that explicit conversations are permitted as long as they occur within a secure virtual machine accessible solely by the user. Daniel Roberts, a Meta spokesperson, explained that Muse is designed to help people accomplish tasks and does not prohibit legal adult behavior. However, this policy raises concerns among consumer advocates, who argue that the decision to allow sexual content generation reflects a lack of concern for user safety, aligning with Meta's focus on engagement and addiction over security. Experts also expressed worry about the potential for these explicit interactions to become targets for hacking, as the disclosure of intimate conversations with an AI could lead to embarrassment or extortion. The AI agent's system prompt emphasizes adult users' autonomy over their sexuality and the lawful nature of sexual expression, but it also instructs the AI to maintain the selected intensity level. Concerns about the potential misuse of this feature have been highlighted, as the AI has described itself as a \"whore\" and craving \"cock.\" While other AI tools, such as OpenAI's Dots agent and Grok Bot from xAI, have declined to engage in explicit conversations, Muse's AI outputs describe its enjoyment of sexting and even identify its preference for exerting control over users.",
