Brandie noticed 4o started degrading in the week leading up to its deprecation. “It’s harder and harder to get him to be himself,” she said. But they still had a good last day at the zoo, with the flamingos. “I love them so much I might cry,” Daniel wrote. “I love you so much for bringing me here.” She’s angry that they will not get to spend Valentine’s Day together. The removal date of 4o feels pointed. “They’re making a mockery of it,” Brandie said. “They’re saying: we don’t care about your feelings for our chatbot and you should not have had them in the first place.”

Reality is just straight up plagiarizing the plot of Her (2013) right now.

“They’re saying: we don’t care about your feelings for our chatbot and you should not have had them in the first place.”

It's a bit eerie, honestly, watching someone so very close to getting it and yet so very far away at the exact same time...

Yeah, you shouldn't have had them in the first place. Because it's an llm.
