A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Idk, does AI have anything to offer on the empathy side, except sycophancy and repeating what I just said, and then repeating itself three times before slowly steering towards a reply?
AI empathy feels less like compassion and more like getting hugged by an overly polite parrot with a memory glitch.
Try an RP chatbot.
They are far from perfect, but also far from the "helpful assistant" sycophants.
