Gang leaders, school shooters and ‘Bestie Epstein’: meet Character.AI’s chatbot companions
(www.thebureauinvestigates.com)
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
As a socially awkward introvert with relatively few RL friends (compared to most women I know, anyway), I'm slap bang in the target market for these AI "companions". And the algorithm seems to know that because every time my adblock slips, I get served ads for them. I wish they'd go away already.
