Hackers say that they used Meta’s AI support chatbot to break into a host of high-profile Instagram profiles by asking the support bot to change the email address associated with the target account. The claims coincide with a series of high-profile Instagram account takeovers, including the Barack Obama White House account, the Chief Master Sergeant of Space Force’s account, and Sephora’s account.

This has to be one of the most absurd exploits ever lol.

And people ask why I'm against AI at all.
The price crisis isn't helping, but this sort of thing shows why you can't even trust it.
