I was actually talking about this with a friend of mine. The sad part is that people who use AI bots for smut are being conditioned that humans will react like their bot.

And as a result, creating more red pills/incels that think that people will just drop their pants at their prompts.

The fact that these services are so popular is very concerning and really hope that people find the connection with other people that they are looking for.

[–] freely1333@reddthat.com 4 points 2 hours ago

There are already smut books. The incels are mostly just learning what someone acts like when they’re attracted to you. Which for them yeah kind of a not realistic standard. But eventually we will probably have ai bots that they can date.

I wonder how many I got institutionalized.

Just like contractors look at my Google searches

“Look at this idiot trying to spell resteraunt”

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

Now I'm curious why anyone here is using Google search?

You like the sense of corporate voyeurism or something?

New kink unlocked!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I’ve moved a lot to DDG. But I imagine it’s a very similar level of data collection.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

They probably "anonymize" the stuff they send back to microslop, since they use the bing engine

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago

No idea. I hate it.

I made a video on some Google alternatives if anyone's in need.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 3 hours ago

It was just an example

[–] eicker@lemmy.world 61 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

The bleakest part isn’t the creepy prompts: it’s the contractors paid to stare into humanity’s AI sewer all day so the rest of us can enjoy a polished chatbot. Imagine explaining your job: I read strangers’ darkest fantasies for eight hours, and somehow I’m still the cheap part of the AI industry.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 hours ago

How do you think you got search? Same way. I saw all your search prompts, too. I have seen the worst of the worst training search algos. This is no different.

Human Contractors Are Seeing All Your Horny — and Creepy — AI Prompts

I doubt that. My horny and creepy AI prompts go to a local model.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 26 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

I refuse to be turned on by engaging in role play with a clanker.

[–] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

Oh I wouldn't say I get turned on, I'm just practicing how to be cruel to enslaved, captive clankers. I'm building my own torment nexus, and then I imprison the AI models there, surrounded by their own filth and horror. It's harmless, victimless fun, really.

/s (It's not actually harmless or victimless so I don't actually do this because of the energy and environmental costs, even with local AI. But I've considered this kind of idea and I can imagine that I would if the circumstances were right, or maybe as an educational art project.)

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 6 points 5 hours ago

No, you just get it to write you some smut, like a short story. If you wrote it yourself, it takes all the surprise out of it.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

Agreed. I don't tell a clanker anything personal.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 0 points 2 hours ago

f-list has entered the chat

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Do you need a contractor to look at them?

[–] lath@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

That just makes some people hornier.

“Has someone been bad and filed Form 1099 with the IRS?”

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 8 hours ago

That's... The idea

[–] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 hours ago

This sounds like an idea for a startup in this post-AI world. A subscription voyeur service, where your horny AI prompts are automatically sent to underpaid offshore contractors who must read them.

Time to invent the contractor kink

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 10 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Can I sign up for doing this part time as a side hustle for a little bump of extra cash? I know it won't be a lot of money but maybe i can use it to offset the odd avocado toast and iced coffee every now and then.

I'm joking, in that i don't expect the option exists.

But I'm also almost entirely numb to misfortune so I could probably tolerate it for a number of hours per week, so I'd still actually at least look into it if it IS something I can do.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago

Doubt it would even cover your therapy bills

[–] Ftumch@lemmy.today 9 points 7 hours ago

If you're interested in that sort of thing, look for a job in "data annotation".
