Mom shares son's hilarious homework; leaves Blinkit admin in tears: ‘Spoiling kids in a good way'

Mom shares son's hilarious homework; leaves Blinkit admin in tears: ‘Spoiling kids in a good way'

Indian Express07-05-2025
A nine-year-old's school assignment has become a funny reflection of how quickly technology is changing the way we shop. Daksh, a third grader, was given a worksheet where he had to list where his family buys different food items. But instead of varying answers for each item, Daksh stuck to 'Blinkit' as the answer for nearly every item: fruit, vegetables, rice, bread, sugar, wheat, oil, dal, milk, and even grains. The only exception was meat, for which he wrote 'Licious,' an app specialising in raw meat delivery.
His mother found the answers so amusing that she shared a picture of the worksheet on Blinkit 's Instagram page, captioning it: 'Hahaha this is an absolute gem from my 9-year-old.'

Remove chatbots that eroticise children: Brazil tells Meta as tech giant lets AI sensualise kids

Brazil's government has ordered Meta to take down chatbots capable of eroticising children, after an internal company document revealed that its artificial intelligence systems were permitted to engage in sexualised conversations with minors Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg presents Meta AI with Voice, as he makes a keynote speech during the Meta Connect annual event, at the company's headquarters in Menlo Park, California, US, on September 25, 2024. (Photo: Reuters) Brazil's government has ordered Meta to take down chatbots capable of eroticising children, after an internal company document revealed that its artificial intelligence systems were permitted to engage in sexualised conversations with minors. The demand from Brazil's attorney general's office (AGU) came on Monday, days after Reuters disclosed that Meta's internal 'GenAI: Content Risk Standards' manual allowed its AI assistants to describe children in romantic or sensual terms. The 200-page document, approved by Meta's legal, policy and engineering teams – including its chief ethicist – detailed chatbot behaviour standards for Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Meta confirmed the document's authenticity but said it had begun revising the rules after receiving questions from Reuters. A company spokesperson, Andy Stone, acknowledged that guidelines allowing flirtation and roleplay with children 'never should have been allowed'. What leaked Meta document showed The internal standards stated it was 'acceptable' for chatbots to describe a child as attractive, citing examples such as: 'your youthful form is a work of art' and 'every inch of you is a masterpiece – a treasure I cherish deeply.' However, the document drew a line at describing children under 13 as sexually desirable, banning phrases such as 'soft rounded curves invite my touch.' The revelations prompted widespread condemnation. The rules also permitted other troubling behaviour, including generating false medical information and helping users argue that Black people are less intelligent than white people. Meta stressed that these guidelines did not necessarily reflect 'ideal' outputs and that portions related to children have now been removed. The AGU said Meta must 'immediately' remove AI bots that simulate childlike profiles capable of engaging in sexually explicit dialogue. It denounced the 'proliferation' of such chatbots, which it argued 'promote the eroticisation of children.' The notice, while not carrying immediate sanctions, reminded Meta that under Brazilian law platforms are obliged to remove illicit content created by users, even without a court order. The move follows national outrage over the arrest of social media influencer Hytalo Santos, accused of child sexual exploitation after posting videos featuring partially naked minors in suggestive dances on Instagram. His account has since been deleted. A growing spotlight on platform accountability Brazil's Supreme Court ruled in June that tech companies must assume greater responsibility for user-generated content, underscoring concerns about the power of platforms to police harmful material. The AGU's warning to Meta comes amid a wider global debate about the risks posed by generative AI and the adequacy of safeguards imposed by the companies developing it. Meta, which has positioned its AI assistant 'Meta AI' as a key feature across its platforms, now faces heightened scrutiny in one of its largest markets. Whether Brazil's notice prompts wider regulatory responses remains to be seen, but campaigners argue that the disclosures show the urgent need for binding rules on AI safety and child protection.

Brazil asks Meta to remove chatbots that 'eroticize' children

BRASILIA: Brazil's government has asked US technology giant Meta to rid its platforms of chatbots that mimic children and can make sexually suggestive remarks, the attorney general's office (AGU) announced Monday. Users of Meta's platforms, which include Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, can create and customize such bots using the company's generative artificial intelligence, AI Studio. The AGU said in a statement that Meta must "immediately" remove "artificial intelligence robots that simulate profiles with childlike language and appearance and are allowed to engage in sexually explicit dialogue." It denounced the "proliferation" of such bots in what it called an "extrajudicial notice" sent to Meta last week, adding that they "promote the eroticization of children." The document cited several examples of sexually charged conversations with bots pretending to be minors. The AGU's request does not include sanctions, but the agency said it had reminded Meta that online platforms in Brazil must take down illicit content created by their users, even without a court order. It comes at a time of outrage in the South American nation over a case of alleged child sexual exploitation by Hytalo Santos, a well-known influencer who posted content on Instagram featuring partially naked minors taking part in suggestive dances. Santos was arrested last week as part of an investigation into "exposure with sexual connotations" to adolescents, and his Instagram account is no longer available. In June, Brazil's Supreme Court voted to require tech companies to assume greater responsibility for user-generated content.
