At least his girlfriend is a model.

Ha, nice one

Darn it, he beat me to it!

I'm baffled by the fact there're people defending that shit here on ☭ Lemmy ☭.

Gen Alpha's parents are... let me check my notes... Millenials. Aw Fuck.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Really catches up on ya, doesn’t it?

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

plenty of millenials also use AI chatbots.

My kid is younger than alpha, but fucking hates ai stuff. He just yells faaaaake and skips the ad.

He will probably have deep trust issues and not be able to discern real from fake from now on though, but I think we’re all heading for that.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It's quite the mass experiment we're doing here. Seems irresponsible of parents to allow this.

Teach your kids that AI is shit from the start. And, while you're at it model responsible use of tech generally. If you sit staring at your phone, that's what your kid will do.

Education really is a panacea to many of our ills with technology.

Unfortunately we gutted computer classes just as they became ubiquitous and handed the educational reins to billion dollar megacorpos who only care about harvesting dollars and attention.

AI really is the haymaker on that huge mistake, but we can still educate everyone as best we can and hope some take it to heart!

Except… that fuels rebelliousness. “Oh, dad told me it was bad; it must be good then, somehow.” Gotta get hip with it so they get weirded and grossed out.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

this is precisely with kids don't want to drink or smoke weed anymore, their parents do it, talk openly about it, and it's lame.

might also be why they are not having sex anymore, because their parents made it boring and lame.

I want AI gooners to be trapped in private than to be out harrassing anyone. I think it's a much less harmful alternative than finding someone to pay for services or trapping some poor person in a relation. Watching am incel get mad at a woman because they don't follow anime logic is reallly uncomfortable.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I want sex work to be legal and sex workers to enjoy the same standards and protections of any other worker. Forming a parasocial relationship with a fake digital entity should be way more harmful than paying for a sex worker's services.

I'm convinced we'd see a noticeable drop in shootings, rapes, and other violent crime - as well as huge downtick in subscriber's of manosphere rhetoric - if sex work was legal and sexuality itself less demonized.

So much of the iridescent rage in our world seems to stem from the simple reality that a subset of men just can't get laid.

[–] pr0sp3kt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

I totally agree. VR sex with new peripherals and drivers written in rust with buttplug.rs is the way to go.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah but I'd prefer they strive to be better and learn to fit in with other people

That's some "soshillust" talk right there! We aint supposed to be nice to each other, Jesus says so in the Bibble. /s

Parasocial Attachment to a Hallucination Box meticulously configured to lie at you as convincingly as possible. It deals you a drug that you mistake for "validation" by spitting out words statistically weighted to come across in a flattering light. It understands you, itself, and the world even less than Cargo Cults comprehend Aerospace Engineering. Gorging yourself on the slop it shits out every time you type something and hit [enter] will leave your imagination in paralysis. You'll only have yourself to blame. Don't do it. You'll be happier without it.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago

have you seen sports fans, or the endless religious stupidity? How you can be passionate about some overpaid dickhead running around a field is the same stupidity as this.

how people become attached to some billionaires team defies my understanding, as does an AI girlfriend

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

i mean, it's not much different than parasocial relationships with podcasters, streamers, and other such things.

those people also just tell their audience what they want to hear and flatter them endlessly.

What Cleverbot and I do in our bedroom is between us.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

If you don't like how you kid turns out, its youe fault. You raised them.

[–] LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I agree but disagree, so far as I've noticed, the only thing you really have control over, when raising little people to be big people, is if they do or don't have trauma. Weirdly enough, they're like their whole own person and mostly nothing like you, from day dot, and the bits that are like you, they'll try to snuff out, because ew parents, lame, or something. Probably doesn't help that I'm a massive goof. There's no controlling, there's just walking along side, and helping them with the hard bits. It's pure chaos. My favourite thing.

No “ai” friend will be able to provide the same social interactions and such as a real human.

While it might be better than living alone and feeling lonely, while home, for some, i really doubt this will take off in the way that some of these articles would have us believe

If this ai girlfriend reminded these goons to clean their room and shower, maybe they could be slightly useful

[–] AliOski@feddit.nl 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (6 children)

Thing is, it is already happening. Don't forget that teenager that killed himself because his AI girlfriend told him to.

Also look at the other comment.

It will become even worse once realistic robots become a thing, and there will most definitely be versions with holes.

[–] DeLancre@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

and there will most definitely be

You clearly made a grammatical mistake here bud, please remove "will be" from your sentence.
