SINGAPORE - Gaffes by a chatbot on the Ministry of Health's (MOH) website left some Internet users bemused - and many tickled - over the weekend after it dished out family planning advice when asked about Covid-19 matters.
......
When the chatbot was asked "My daughter is tested Covid 19 positive what should I do?", it replied: "You should practise safe sex through the correct and consistent use of condoms, or abstinence, for at least the whole duration of your female partner's pregnancy."
Other variations include using "son" instead of "daughter" in the question.
But the chatbot would provide the appropriate advice - to remain calm and stay at the person's place of accommodation - if the question was phrased differently.
