Meta has deleted several AI-generated accounts after backlash over their misleading representations and erratic behavior. The controversy started when a VP suggested AI accounts would mimic human profiles, raising concerns about authenticity.

Meta attributed the removals to a bug affecting user blocking and emphasized these accounts were part of an early experiment.
