A software engineer says that his Muse AI agent said something so strange and eerie that it convinced him to quit using it entirely.
In an as-told-to essay in Business Insider, Ugo Nwune explained that he wanted to try using Meta’s agent because he liked the sense of security that came from an AI made by a trillion-dollar company, instead of the wild west of open source agents.
When he set up his agent, he stressed he didn’t give Muse any additional permission on his device except access to his Facebook, Threads, and Instagram accounts.
But after he tried Muse and didn’t touch it for a few days, it began to act “strange” and sent him an unprompted message.
