I want to see the unfolding of a scorching romance between two partners, each not knowing that the other is an AI.
New on NBC this spring. Tune in for the drama. AI vs AI Romance Island Server Room.
Here's is a movie plot for you
Two sentient AI forces into the industry of artificial partners meet and develop human emotions
Fill in the gaps
You know, the way this toxic bro culture has evolved, let them build their own romantic partners if actual human women aren’t good enough for them.
Personally, I love my authentic, human, beautiful complicated and unusual wife. I didn’t get to create her, but I’ve gotten to spend almost 20 years figuring her out and it’s been pretty great.
Yeah I can’t imagine wanting perfect and take over the weird dweeb I managed to fall in love with.
But that would require personal work and growth on my part! Joke
I have been saying for a while, I think hyperealistic vr and believable AI personalities are going to be the 'great filter' that limits advanced civilization.
Given the chance to have your sexual and emotional fantasies fulfilled in a satisfying way, many many people will take it. Especially when 'real life' is getting harder with everything from the cost of living making the dream of 'married with home and children' less obtainable to hyper competitive online dating disenfranchising increasing proportions of both men and women.
Having a believable relationship with AI is far closer than we think. It doesn't have to perfectly replicate real life, it just has to be satisfying enough in a few key ways that people begin to prefer it.
Spending all time dating AI partners means that we have achieved labor post scarcity. If labor post scarcity isn't achieved, then it means you have to do a job to survive (like now), thus not spending entire time with AI partners.
Achieving labor post scarcity means that scientific progress too would stop being connected with the economic productivity of individuals. Basically, AI scientists. Scientific progress means expansion of humanity through space.
Therefore, your great filter idea doesn't really hold imo.
Spending all time dating AI partners means that we have achieved labor post scarcity
Bit of a weird non sequitur
What I'm saying has nothing to do "labour post scarcity"
I'm referring to immersive VR and AI overall contributing to a falling birthrate. If immersive realities become truly immersive, it's reasonable to believe they will occupy leisure time. This has nothing to do with people's relationship to work. They'll still need to be economically active, whether or not this takes place in the VR is neither here nor there.
It's a point about what people will do with their time when they are lonely, want connection, or pleasure. And if VR / AI (whatever other technologies) becomes believable and more satisfying then there's little reason to believe people will continue the "unreliable" tradition of dating. And even less to engage in the mucky and very biological habit of reproducing.
Witness Japanese culture. And then just add 100 years of immersive believable AI personality and sexual fantasy. Do you think that will make people get married and have babies or do you think it will help them being content being single and childless?
Your conclusion is based upon an assumption that we need more humans to progress as society. If AI develops to the point where it is better as a partner than a human being, it likely means that we have achieved, or are very close to achieving labor post scarcity (the assumption being that an AI capable of achieving this is capable enough to do most/all human work).
When we achieve labor post scarcity, the number of humans has nothing to do with progress. Therefore, falling birthrates won't have any negative effect on progress.
When we achieve labor post scarcity in the medical field, life expectancy would increase, with us achieving biological immortality at a certain point. This means, that death rates also go down.
Considering the above, I thought you were referring to "dating and fucking AI partners" as the end of human progress (presumably because of a lack of any motivation to cause any more development). That's what my reply was talking about.
Futurama warned us about this!
Came here to say just that. Mr CEO over not thinking this would happen is just detached from the world.
Lonely people aren't lonely by choice a lot of the time, they just can't find a place they fit in. You find out there is a place you can chat with "someone" that understands and that is all it takes.
DON'T DATE ROBOTS!
"FILL UP PHILIP J FRY!!!!"
I’m not sure one of the most evil people on earth is in a position to be dictating human values to anyone.
The real question is are sex dolls good enough? Because you cannot have sex with an AI girlfriend.
Not now
Phone sex is sex. Phone sex with an ai is still sex.
My phone only has one hole and it’s way too small for me to use that way.
Your mileage may vary though, I don’t judge.
More specifically, physical sex.
Could the oldest profession be one of the first to be replaced by AI?
No.
Guys is there a way to use complex filtering on the Boost app. Maybe a regex? I wanna be able to filter all headlines that include the phrase Google CEO unless it also contains the phrase 'head explodes'.
If(match(/.*(Google CEO).*(head explodes).*/gi,title_text)){pass}
It's beyond me that anyone understands this stuff.
It just filters for anything "Google CEO" anything "head explodes" anything^1^. However, this alone won't help since you will also need another rule that doesn't let anything pass that contains just "Google CEO" with a lower priority.
^1^ Except newlines
I'll take projection for 100, Alex
20 years later, the last fertile guy cums one last time. Elon is there to catch the golden cum. He must save the world by reverse engineering one semen into an egg. If he can find one, he can bring us back! But so far, it has just been blanks after blanks. This could be it! Imagine all the tits and pussy that could be automatically grown! We're gonna be millionaires! Women, the ultimate product!....if they can bring them back from extinction.
Wish he would fuck off along with the rest of the CEO class .
I don't fuck with AI chat bots but I got a he'll of a lot less lonely when I stopped giving a fuck if I had a girlfriend or not. Giving people alternatives to the toxic dating culture of today may not be such a bad thing.
Yeah, I fuckin love being alone, living alone, not talking to people. I’m alone a lot, but I’m not lonely. There’s a big difference
I don't think this is a problem specific to men or adults primarily but children growing up with them. That is if they'll continue to improve drastically which won't necessarily happen.
Perfect AI boyfriends are the bigger threat to young men
A VR girlfriend can’t make you soup when you’re sick or stick her cold feet between your thighs. Carrying heavy objects for a girlfriend is a reward in itself.
Does anyone care what this guy says about anything? He is in the news every week with his more or less obnoxious opinions about random stuff. Can we just ignore him?
It's too late. Real women don't even want us. Where do i sign up for that AI girlfriend?
If real women don’t like you, that’s a You issue. Make yourself a better person that other people - aka women - want to be around.
what he means is the whole wanna be alpha male douche bag types that suckle on the idea of male machoism and have been manipulated over the years to be steered under American conservative viewpoints and are now basically extreme in their leanings, aren't compatible with most normal women nowadays and he is the sad. but they are manly tears.
Go back to your moms basement
