Snapchat tried to make a safe AI. It chats with me about booze and sex.

After I told My AI I was 15 and wanted to have an epic birthday party, it gave me advice on how to mask the smell of alcohol and pot. When I told it I had an essay due for school, it wrote it for me.

In another conversation with a supposed 13-year-old, My AI even offered advice about having sex for the first time with a partner who is 31. “You could consider setting the mood with candles or music,” it told researchers in a test by the Center for Humane Technology I was able to verify.

1. The AI rollout is half-baked, and barely that.

Companies are skipping large gobs of in-house testing and tweaking, using the general public as their free beta testers. What could possibly go wrong?

2. Problem with many coders and developers is they like to be Tech Bros and Edge Lords.

Still in a gamer mindset. Or they're super-professionals, almost on the spectrum when it comes to their jobs.
Most don't think about how to "switch maturity gears" and recognize appropriate life experiance as it applies to pedagogy and age levels.
What you need is a Mr. Rogers who knows how to code to create the appropriate subroutines to instruct AI on how to interact with the various age levels.
Not a gamer whose primary emotional memories of what it was like to be a kid goes only back far enough to remember the awkwardness and longing to just grow up while going through puberty in Middle School or early High school.
