Fuck AI

The person sending the texts has a clanker girlfriend who they've asked to act like an online personality, which said that they would leave their significant other for the texter, texter asks the real version to leave their real girlfriend because of this

Every Twitter post has a Grok button that can't be removed. Just because the logo is there doesn't mean the image is AI-generated. It's literally a screenshot I took off of my phone display.

the twitter logo?

I do not follow how Canon fits into this or how a printer is relevant at all.

Thank you, I could barely follow that

The last line broke my brain. Had to read it a number of times to understand. So an influencer got this message where a fan made an AI version of the influencer and that AI told the fan to send these messages. 😳

Thank you

Remember Molly Ringwald's stalker? Well in this case this person had an AI using this person's faked voice pretend they were in a relationship. He wanted to tell her to break up with her partner and delete photos of herself so he could be the only one to see her. The AI told him to tell her this directly, and he did. Dude needs help.

Half? I didn't understand any of it. The words mostly made sense but their usage did not.

Allow me to assist.

yumeship = yumejoshi (Japanese slang term for a girl who inserts herself into a fictional story) + ship (fandom term used to refer to two characters getting into a relationship) = the act of imagining a fictional version of oneself getting into a relationship with a character from a piece of media one enjoys

uncomfy/gen = uncomfy (you can guess) + /gen (tone indicator that means the previous statement is genuine as opposed to joking or sarcastic)

(by the way a tone indicator is a well-known sequence of letters appended to a text message to communicate the intended tone, like /s for sarcasm, /j for joking, /gen for genuine, etc., used to communicate through a text medium what would otherwise be conveyed through tone of voice. Traditionally they're appended to the end of a message, not used in the middle of a sentence. I've never seen a tone tag applied to a specific word before. The author also seems to be using it as an intensifier, which... huh?)

canon = (adjective, applied to a statement about a fictional world) confirmed in the text of a fictional work, or by the author of said work in e.g. an interview, as opposed to made up by fans (in this case, used rather disgustingly to refer to something that is true in real life as opposed to a fictional setting)

F/O = Fictional Other = Fictional + Significant Other

c.ai = character.ai = a website where users can converse with LLM chatbots that pretend to be fictional characters. Anyone can create and finetune such a chatbot (by starting with a blank slate character and interacting with it and telling it how it should act) then making it available for others to use, and a lot of users create chatbots that imitate real people. The website doesn't really crack down on this.

Essentially what the person who sent these messages has done, is gone to character.ai, looked up a chatbot that pretends to be a real Internet celebrity, convinced themself (I think?) that the real Internet celebrity was a fictional character (or at least could be thought of in those terms), talked to it until it told them that it was in love with them, concluded that the real person the chatbot was pretending to be was also in love with them, and confronted said real person with this information, expecting them to make the fictional relationship real. It's a textbook parasocial relationship, except for the part where the non-celebrity wasn't listening to things the celebrity was saying, they were listening to things a chatbot pretending to be the celebrity was saying.

Rather than responding, the real internet celebrity who received the messages took a screenshot of them and made a post conveying their disgust that any of their fans felt entitled to act that way, and a screenshot of that post is what you're seeing here.
