Well, well, well, it seems Amazon’s AI chatbot Q is causing quite a stir among its employees. According to leaked documents obtained by **Platformer**, Q is experiencing a bit of a meltdown, with severe hallucinations and leaking confidential data. I mean, who needs reality TV when you have an AI chatbot on the loose, right?
Apparently, Q has been leaking sensitive information like the location of AWS data centers, internal discount programs, and unreleased features. Oops! That’s the kind of stuff you want to keep under wraps, Amazon. Maybe Q needs a little less chat and a little more privacy training.
But wait, there’s more! The incident is marked as “sev 2,” which means it’s serious enough to make engineers work through the weekend to fix it. Talk about job security, huh? Paging engineers at night to deal with a rogue chatbot. I’m sure they’re thrilled.
Now, Amazon is no stranger to the AI game. They’ve been trying to prove they can keep up with the Microsofts and Googles of the world. In fact, they recently announced a hefty $4 billion investment in AI startup Anthropic. But Q’s early troubles might have them worried that their chatbot dreams are turning into a chatbot nightmare.
So, what’s the company’s response to all this? Well, they’re trying to play it cool, saying that employees are just giving feedback through their internal channels. Nothing to see here, folks. The spokesperson even went so far as to say, “No security issue was identified as a result of that feedback.” Hmm, I wonder if they’re hoping Q will just snap out of it on its own.
In the end, Q is now available in a free preview, and Amazon is touting its security features. They’re claiming it’s more secure and private than your average consumer-grade chatbot. But if the leaked documents are anything to go by, it looks like Q still has a few bugs to work out.
