Well at least it'll be respectful and is big on consent. Better than the manosphere at least

better than following Andrew Tate...
Chatgpt has been trained by real people online, sooooo
Yes, but not only on Andrew Tate
"Hey boy, you jealous of my heart because it's pumping inside me and you aren't?"
This was literally a South Park episode.
At least it isn't sexually abusing them like grok
It is still absolutely insane to me that people have conversations with these LLMs.
I will never understand
I mean I've faked one or two conversations because I always thought chatbots where cute toys as a dev.
Treating it like a humie is a no go.
I don't understand either. Part of it is because I grew up playing games so the fascade of intelligenc and self awareness fell apart for me quickly.
You'd think newer generations would be less fooled by it, but maybe it is due to a shift from story driven games to more live service sandboxes that led to less encounters with NPCs and their scripted conversations.
I do think really light, local LLM’s are the future of NPC interaction.
Not for main story missions, but for random encounters they could add a nice layer of immersion.
Wait till ppl casually mentioning their romantic AI partner during daily conversation. Based on how reliant younger generation is in the chatbots, I can see it becoming norm in a few decades or shorter.
Yes I'm aware of such articles exist. I'm talking about the future which that becomes normal and hearing about it from your circle.
This happens coz these kids aren't being raised well
Somehow, my son grew up without being interested in videogames or social media. He's now a world class expert in film, but he has a hard time relating to others his age, who think quality is Anime or Marvel movies. He's gone back to college for another degree, so he's a few years older than the rest, and he's astonished at how unprepared they all are for college, life, or anything else.
Covid really blew a hole in the education of our country, and it hasn't come back.
I honestly don't know what I did differently with him than any other parent. My philosophy has always been "Love what your children love, and you children will love you." He was always into theater, movies, music, entertainment, so we leaned into that stuff. He just never showed any interest in Social Media or Videogames, and we never encouraged it, so he never got into that stuff.
Thank fuck I grew up in an era before these things and the Internet. Today's kids never stood a chance.
So, it's been decades since I was a teenager, and AI chatbots weren't even a thing. Hell, I didn't even have the internet as a teenager, so maybe I'm totally out of the loop, but someone riddle me this?..
They're age checking and gatekeeping social media, but not age checking and gatekeeping AI chatbots?
Do I have this about right, or am I missing something here?
Correct, because it's important that only large corps with access to resources to create widely used LLMs have unfettered access to the minds of our populace in a completely open way. Random humans being able toaccess and exchange information adhoc, independently without prior approval is of course incompatible with the first amendment.
I heard somewhere that zombies eat brains..
So, is Artificial Intelligence actually the zombies, coming after the children's minds? 🤔
nah, its the companies that are coming after the minds. llm are just their instrument for it.
Is it terrible that I'd like to see an LLM trained exclusively on translated shoujo manga trying to give teen boys advice about this?
You just described a specific subgenre of teenagers.
If there's one thing the internet is never wrong about it's women, I'm sure the collective dating, sex and relationship knowledge of the hivemind that was fed into these things is ace lmao.
Just dont use grok lol
TBH Grok would probably tell them to avoid "femoids" and work on semen retention to activate their redpill powers.
Grok: It isn't rape if she doesn't fight back.
Worse, they’ve grown up on a steady diet of media telling them that “if you say the wrong thing” to a girl, “she’s going to accuse you of something,”
There's a big problem with the premise of this argument.
The article accepts this "steady diet of media" as fact, but implies that it only affects "guys".
If there is, indeed, a "steady diet of media" saying this to a guy, then that same "steady diet of media" is saying the same thing to a girl: "If a guy says something wrong, it is reasonable for a girl to accuse him of something". Girls are hearing the exact same message that guys are hearing.
If that "steady diet" actually exists, then the guy's concerns of accusations are valid, and he should be praised for ensuring he doesn't "say the wrong thing".
The difference: We pretend to care about girls. We don't pretend to care about boys.
