OpenAI is trying soo hard to put the lid on the pandora's box they opened.
And at the same time trying to push the box into as many people's hands as possible.
Almost as if theres a huge loneliness crisis in the world... nah thats only scifi
It's not like we already have Japan with years ahead living this specific social crisis. Something could be learned.
It's amusing to me that Japan is somewhat of a forecast to economic crises and social obstacles for much of the world. They were grappling with sub-prime lending fiascos before it was generalized to the rest of the world too
Nah, lets just call all lonely men "incels" and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.
EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.
Being lonely and being an incel are two very different things.
Yes, but they do tend to get lumped together and dismissed the same.
Okay.
See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it's funny.
Yes. Fuck incels. They're pieces of misogynistic shit. I don't care if you're an incel or just some lonely guy, get a hobby.
I have plenty. And I'm not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like "get a hobby".
If you don't want to be called an incel, don't blame your loneliness and lack of sex on anyone else. Everyone is lonely, it's nobody's fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere. Continue to grow as a human and don't stop trying to find new avenues of reaching out to others.
And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.
You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I'm talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.
Sorry, I did miss the point. I've literally never seen it happen the way you describe it.
Thanks for helping me prove the point
No, they're not. Lol
"The downvotes made me more incel or something"
Is your point that incels are whiny bitches? We all knew that already but thanks for the reminder, I guess.
Big Woman is trying to hold onto their monopoly
I'm a big woman and let me say, let a thousand AI girlfriends bloom.
The Fart or Flashlight app of this decade. What a time to be alive.
There was an app that could discern between a fart and flashlight? Man, unbelievable!
It sure beats playing Fart or Flashlight the old way!
To be fair, it cares about you exactly as much as your OnlyFans crush.
Probably a cheaper obsession.
Just give the people what they want
why? why not let people just retreat into fantasy? it's probably healthier than many common coping mechanisms. i mean, it's a chatbot, how much can you do with it?
let people have their temporary salve to get them thru whatever they were going thru such that they were resorting to this. and if it's not temporary, ok, fine? better to have some outlet than be even more mentally isolated. maybe in 50 years this will be common, who knows.
Liability. Imagine an AI girlfriend who slowly earns your affection, then at some point manipulates you into sending bitcoins to a prespecified wallet set up by the model maker. Because models are black boxes, there is no way to verify by direct inspection that an AI hasn't been trained with an ulterior agenda (the "execute order 66" problem).
These kinds of things are not temporary. We know that humans can't control themselves and aren't rational enough to "just use it a bit". It's highly addictive and leads to people to remove themselves from reality.
Because it drives people even deeper into self destructive incel behaviors.
I believe Futurama has a lesson on this
I knew I should've shown him Electro-Gonorrhea: The Noisy Killer
let people have their
I'd be very interested to see the gender breakdown, here.
I am pretty sure its just to avoid controversy, look up the recent news about "laion" for an example, gpt4 isn't just text anymore, it can generate images also.
Altman talked about we may sometime all have our own personal AI's tailored to our own needs and sensitivities. But almost everyone has a different idea of if and where there should be a line.
Time to add "mass manipulation by AI girlfriend" to the list
God damn, now we have to hear about of having a fucking AI chat bot considered cheating.
This is embarrassing.
Exactly what I was thinking. The whole AI hype has been cringe so far and this just confirms it. Seems that the ratio between legitimate use cases and fucking around is kinda skewed towards the meme side of things.
Or it might just signify our population has a HUGE lonelyness problem (for a myriad of reasons).
If you are against this, you are also against dildos.
No I'm pretty sure that's not the case lol
Her 2 (2024)?
Why? Let it happen.
There are zero issues with consent. It is a chatbot not a living or sentient.
There are zero issues with STDs or pregnancy scares.
No one is going to want this as a substitute for a real relationship and if they do you might be doing the world a favor by allowing them a way out of the datingpool.
Sure it could be used for honeypots but we have had that for pretty much all of history. People fake affection or who they are to get what they want.
I just don't see how this is at all different than the forms of erotica we already have and society has adapted to.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
