‘Is That a Real Thing?’: Reid Hoffman’s AI Chatbot Says the Democratic Megadonor Never Met Jeffrey Epstein

When users of the artificial intelligence upstart Inflection AI ask its chatbot about Jeffrey Epstein, the computer program notes his criminal history, residence on "Pedophile Island," and relationships with prominent figures like former president Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk.

But the chatbot denies that Epstein had any relationship with Reid Hoffman, a liberal megadonor who just so happens to be Inflection AI’s co-founder.

The Washington Free Beacon quizzed Inflection’s chatbot, named Pi, about Epstein and his famous friends in the wake of reports that the sex offender had multiple meetings with Hoffman. In 2019, Hoffman acknowledged that he hosted Epstein at an event in 2015, years after Epstein was publicly identified as a sex offender. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Hoffman visited Epstein’s private island in 2014 and may have stayed at his New York City townhouse.

Pi, which launched Tuesday, says it is unaware of any of those encounters. The chatbot is even incredulous that Hoffman would have any dealings with someone "known for his criminal activities and his involvement in human trafficking."
