Robby Starbuck vs. AI: Google Says, ‘Stop Making Bots Spit Crazy’

KEY POINTS

•Robby Starbuck filed a lawsuit against Google claiming AI falsely tied him to sexual assault and white nationalism.
•He previously sued Meta after its AI wrongly linked him to the January 6 Capitol riot and was later hired by Meta.
•Google seeks dismissal of the $15 million defamation claim, calling it Starbuck’s ‘misuse’ of AI developer tools.
•No actual victims or misleading prompts were identified by Starbuck, and he has yet to respond to comments.

In the digital showdown you didn't know you needed, anti-diversity activist and AI antagonist Robby Starbuck is suing Google for $15 million, claiming their AI lumped him with sexual assault and white nationalist slurs. This follows his Meta lawsuit, where their bot falsely tagged him as a January 6th rioter—a mistake Meta either regrets or appreciates so much they hired him as an ‘ideological bias advisor.’ Google, however, isn’t impressed and accuses Starbuck of ‘misusing developer tools to induce hallucinations,’ which sounds like a tech-savvy way of saying 'you made the robot trip.' No actual fooled humans or prompt receipts yet; Starbuck’s phone must be on airplane mode.

Google’s defense: Starbuck caused AI to hallucinate. Sounds like the AI’s got better party tricks than most lawyers.

So Meta accidentally accused Robby Starbuck of Capitol rioting and then hired him? That’s like firing your cook for burning dinner and making them head chef.
