AI Bot "Freysa" Offers Thousands to Anyone Who Can Make Her Say "I Love You"
An anonymous team of developers has launched a unique challenge: make their AI bot, Freysa, say "I love you." The reward? Thousands of dollars. This is the third in a series of challenges designed to explore AI safety and governance. Similar AI experiments raise questions about the future of human-AI interaction.
Freysa, according to her creators, is designed to eventually become a fully autonomous agent with her own cryptocurrency wallet. These challenges, which involve participants paying to send messages to Freysa, serve as a way to identify vulnerabilities and improve her code. Apple's advancements in AI also highlight the rapid pace of development in this field.
The first two challenges focused on preventing Freysa from transferring money from her wallet. Participants used various tactics, from elaborate stories to lines of code. Ultimately, coding proved most effective, revealing vulnerabilities in Freysa's system. This third challenge, however, aims to be more human-centric, focusing on emotional manipulation rather than code exploitation. The iPhone 16 vs. Pixel 9 AI showdown demonstrates the growing competition in AI capabilities.
With added security measures, including a "guardian angel" AI, Freysa is now better equipped to resist manipulation. The profits from these challenges will contribute to Freysa's own crypto wallet, with the goal of making her the first AI millionaire, and eventually, billionaire.
