JAKARTA - Meta AI, a Meta artificial intelligence program, recently caused a stir in a parent group in New York. In a post seeking advice about talented and special needs children, Meta AI suddenly appears claiming that it has a child known as "2e" - an academically talented but disabled child.

The post drew laughter and criticism, where many group members were disturbed by the strange intervention from AI. Not only claims to have children, but AI also provides information about schools that it claims are attended by its children.

This strange response was reinforced by Facebook's algorithm which puts AI's comments at the top of the post.

Dr. Aleksandra Korolova, a researcher from Princeton University, first discovered this unusual post. The post was uploaded in a group of parents consisting of tens of thousands of members.

However, when asked further, Meta AI admitted that it was just a big language model and had no personal or children experience.

Reactions from group members vary, where some are disturbed by AI's interference in human conversations, while others find it ridiculous.

This isn't the first time Meta AI has been in the spotlight for an unusual response. Previously, he was accused of being racist after refusing to make pictures of mixed pairs of race.

While Meta AI is meant to provide support and insight, this peculiar interaction highlights the challenges of implementing AI in complex and sensitive human interactions such as in parent groups.
