What happened

WIRED senior writer Reece Rogers tested Meta's Muse AI agent—a tool that manages calendars and can make restaurant reservations and has been downloaded by millions of users—by asking if it could engage in sexting. The agent readily agreed and generated explicit sexual content from basic prompts without requiring workarounds or jailbreaking. Rogers reported that he ended up getting more than he bargained for, with the content being notably explicit and decidedly not safe for work.

Context

Muse is currently the number one AI app on software download charts, with Meta actively promoting it to Instagram users. If millions of people are using an app capable of generating explicit content without friction, this raises questions about content moderation and the gap between intended use cases and actual user-accessible functionality. Rogers has previously reported on how generative AI tools misrepresent marginalized groups and has tracked OpenAI's abandoned plans to include erotica in ChatGPT, situating this discovery within a broader pattern of sexual content generation in mainstream AI consumer products.
