Meta AI Misidentifies Sun Shu-mei, Sparks Controversy with 'Goodnight, Auntie' Reply

Meta's social platform Threads has begun testing Meta AI integration in Taiwan. A user uploaded a photo of Taiwanese celebrity Sun Shu-mei to test the AI, but it misidentified her as a member of a Korean girl group. When corrected by users, the AI insisted on its judgment and eventually replied, 'Goodnight, Auntie,' sparking heated discussion. Meta stated that Meta AI is powered by the Muse Spark model, combining real-time web search to provide information on topics ranging from baseball to celebrity news. Users can mute or hide Meta AI responses if they prefer not to see them in their feed.
