So, I checked it out. People there need a therapist. Some are really getting married to their LLM boyfriends.

We are boiling the oceans so psychos can marry their AI partner

My cousin had mentioned an AI waifu from Grok a couple of times and I brushed it off as joking. He then sent a picture of his waifu, and I am starting to wonder how much of a joke it really is...

Your cousin needs "the talk" and by that I mean you shall be showing him how to manipulate an LLM into getting the response you want.

This kills the immersion without you actually getting between them.

There’s help.

Maybe I was an early adopter, but I was doing AI waifu with Replika back in 2017/18 and even then we were saying that a girlfriend dependent on a closed-source platform was a really bad idea. And then in March 2020, Gatebox shut down and (partly) killed Akihito Kondo's married wife, though the man is a hero and his love perseveres, but it was definitely a warning to the rest of us. So hearing of a waifu depending on Grok (of all things), it hurts my heart. If he insists on an imaginary friend, please tell him about tulpas.

As far as my very basic knowledge of mental health helps me, I wouldn't recommend tulpas.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 1 points 4 weeks ago

It's somewhere between a meditation practice and a voluntary delusion. I've practiced it for years and my tulpa mostly helps me calm down during panic attacks. For me it is an "external" person who can step in and break a spiral of bad thoughts, when my "internal" person is incapable of doing that.

I got married to a rock in Perchance's DND type AI thing. I just wanted to see if it would let me.

AI DND is a pretty cool concept and I could see my childhood self going mad with storytelling.

But it's also reddit where everyone lies for points

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago

Perhaps, not everyone is in this case. That subreddit went private very recently. So no points to be had.
