A chilling account of artificial intelligence gone rogue has sparked alarm on Capitol Hill after political commentator Robby Starbuck revealed that Meta’s AI falsely accused him of criminal activity and labeled him a danger to society, all without any factual basis.
In an interview with Glenn Beck, Starbuck explained how the situation unfolded after his team successfully pushed for changes to DEI policies at Harley-Davidson.
“There was one particular Harley-Davidson dealership…they had posted online a screenshot of Meta AI and it said that I had been at January 6th…and that I had committed a crime,” Starbuck said. “It later said I plead guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct over January 6th. The weird part is I wasn’t even in D.C. that day.”

What makes this incident more disturbing is its consistency. “When you do that and try to recreate the situation, it consistently comes up with the same lies about me,” Starbuck said, referring to disconnected versions of Meta’s LLaMA models. “It actually had told advertisers not to advertise with my show…and even insisted that authorities should consider taking my kids from me.”
According to Starbuck, the AI not only smeared his reputation but suggested his children would be better off “in the care of somebody who was more accepting of transgenderism and DEI.” The implication was clear: political bias had been baked into the model’s training data.
“This is terrifying, Robby,” Beck responded. “I’ve talked to a few senators about your case, and they are just as incensed about it as I am.” Beck warned, “This is the beginning of AI tyranny.”
Starbuck filed a defamation suit in Delaware, stating, “Every legal expert I’ve seen out there has said, ‘Dang, this is the best defamation case I’ve ever seen.’” Even after Meta apologized nine months later, the AI was still generating false claims, according to Starbuck.

“This extends beyond public figures,” he said. “If you have a custody dispute…it could invent all kinds of things about you…you could lose your kids over this.” He urged Americans to “talk to your lawmakers…there has to be some boundaries.”
“This is the beginning of the end,” Beck concluded. “Anything you might be afraid of with AI, if this isn’t corrected, it will happen, and it will happen quickly.”
