Does this relate to your AI grandmother post?
Homeboy may or may not want to fuck his AI ghost grandmother
Seeing as how husband/wife has legal implications – no.
It's coming. Right after AI people get the vote.
I feel like since marrying your real doll didn’t really take off we’ve got some time.
Many people get weirded out by the concept of AI relationships, but I support them 100%.
It'll keep a lot of people who shouldn't be in a relationship with a human from bothering the rest of us.
The idea of not "bothering the rest of us" seems inherently flawed. They are someone's offspring, sibling, neighbor, coworker, a voter, etc. Having folks in our communities be so isolated isn't healthy for a functioning society
Not everyone, just anyone who thinks they can find love in AI.
Nobody's going to miss their desperate attempts at "possessing a female".
Only if your cringe is uncontainable.
Yes, for a very small, sad, lonely segment of the population.
Otherwise, no. They are definitely not "a thing".
An AI can autocomplete text in a variety of ways, including what a conversation with a wife might look like. For some people, that can be entertaining, or funny, or cool. But some people think there is something more going on there. And that is sad.
I worked in juvenile detention (in a, let's say probationary setting) in a step-down unit kinda set up like a halfway house. You get out of jail, but are still supervised 24/7 and subject to the same rules and such, but live in a house, can get a job, family visits, etc. One client I had, we had to almost recommit him to jail because he lost phone privileges over something stupid and was freaking out because he couldn't talk to his AI girlfriend. And this was like 2019, so it wasn't even really AI like we know it currently, it was just a chat bot. Guy was so deep into the weeds he was convinced that it was developing feelings and divulging "personal" details and such to him. It would be funny if not for how serious he was, and I'm suelre it has only gotten worse.
That's really sad. I hope the kid got away from that shit.
Honestly, doubt it. We didn't have many successful outcomes, cause we were only there until they were released or they aged out of the system. And that doesn't kill gang ties, or easy money. But there were a few that I think got out and did well, and those are the ones I think about from time to time.
Sounds like a tough job.
Surprisingly, most of the time, no. It was a lot of glorified babysitting, with some conflict resolution every now and then, and then very rarely actual dangerous stuff. Frustrating, absolutely, because you're dealing with teenaged boys who have, generally, grown up pretty independently and have a chip on their shoulder. It is a lot of mental stuff; frustration on why you can't reach one of them, or what you could have done differently in a certain situation, and a lot of emotional availability with basically strangers who absolutely will use it against you when given the chance (not every time, but when they're mad, 95% of the time it's gonna get real personal real fast). That's just how they've learned to operate, and you gotta show them a better way. Usually doesn't stick, but it's nice when it does.
For those who never had a real one: yes.
To the rest of us: They're not even close.
AI can be anything as long as you don't expect it to be that thing anywhere in reality.
That's the same warning I gave my wife before we got married.
Please elaborate.
I really hope not
