OpenAI is trying soo hard to put the lid on the pandora's box they opened.
And at the same time trying to push the box into as many people's hands as possible.
Almost as if theres a huge loneliness crisis in the world... nah thats only scifi
It's not like we already have Japan with years ahead living this specific social crisis. Something could be learned.
It's amusing to me that Japan is somewhat of a forecast to economic crises and social obstacles for much of the world. They were grappling with sub-prime lending fiascos before it was generalized to the rest of the world too
Big Woman is trying to hold onto their monopoly
I'm a big woman and let me say, let a thousand AI girlfriends bloom.
To be fair, it cares about you exactly as much as your OnlyFans crush.
Probably a cheaper obsession.
The Fart or Flashlight app of this decade. What a time to be alive.
There was an app that could discern between a fart and flashlight? Man, unbelievable!
It sure beats playing Fart or Flashlight the old way!
Ok an app that either turned on the flashlight or played a max volume ultra reverb fart sounds would be fucking hilarious
"Ugh I dropped my keys under the bed, lemme try to find em without waking her up"
BRWWWAAPPPFFFFFffffff.....
Just give the people what they want
why? why not let people just retreat into fantasy? it's probably healthier than many common coping mechanisms. i mean, it's a chatbot, how much can you do with it?
let people have their temporary salve to get them thru whatever they were going thru such that they were resorting to this. and if it's not temporary, ok, fine? better to have some outlet than be even more mentally isolated. maybe in 50 years this will be common, who knows.
Liability. Imagine an AI girlfriend who slowly earns your affection, then at some point manipulates you into sending bitcoins to a prespecified wallet set up by the model maker. Because models are black boxes, there is no way to verify by direct inspection that an AI hasn't been trained with an ulterior agenda (the "execute order 66" problem).
These kinds of things are not temporary. We know that humans can't control themselves and aren't rational enough to "just use it a bit". It's highly addictive and leads to people to remove themselves from reality.
I believe Futurama has a lesson on this
I knew I should've shown him Electro-Gonorrhea: The Noisy Killer
Because it drives people even deeper into self destructive incel behaviors.
I am pretty sure its just to avoid controversy, look up the recent news about "laion" for an example, gpt4 isn't just text anymore, it can generate images also.
Altman talked about we may sometime all have our own personal AI's tailored to our own needs and sensitivities. But almost everyone has a different idea of if and where there should be a line.
If I have an AI tailored for me and my sensitivities then it should have no filter whatever filter it has should be defined and trained by me.
Someone else artificially trying to adjust my personality through AI to fit whatever arbitrary norms they believe it should have is cancer.
Eh why not, isn't something I'd do and I find it a touch sad but I also don't really give a shit if somebody flirts with their computer.
I’d love to have an AI assistant/girlfriend like JOI from Bladerunner 2049, something I could jerk off to one minute, then have her prepare my taxes and order a pizza the next. However, these ChatGPT girlfriends all seem like they’re just subscription chatbots. Maybe some day we’ll get there and nerds will work up a local, open-source slutty AI girlfriend, but for now they’re all just crap.
Time to add "mass manipulation by AI girlfriend" to the list
It's just a big money grab! Everyone is trying to get rich quick. Like with the App Store. Everyone is hoping their bot breaks into the big time and makes them rich.
This is what is terrible about society. Few are making bits that help people, they make bots that appeal to the base desires. A race to the bottom if you will.....will man ever learn???
This is embarrassing.
Exactly what I was thinking. The whole AI hype has been cringe so far and this just confirms it. Seems that the ratio between legitimate use cases and fucking around is kinda skewed towards the meme side of things.
Or it might just signify our population has a HUGE lonelyness problem (for a myriad of reasons).
God damn, now we have to hear about of having a fucking AI chat bot considered cheating.
Her 2 (2024)?
Why? Let it happen.
There are zero issues with consent. It is a chatbot not a living or sentient.
There are zero issues with STDs or pregnancy scares.
No one is going to want this as a substitute for a real relationship and if they do you might be doing the world a favor by allowing them a way out of the datingpool.
Sure it could be used for honeypots but we have had that for pretty much all of history. People fake affection or who they are to get what they want.
I just don't see how this is at all different than the forms of erotica we already have and society has adapted to.
Porn and connection with others even virtual is pretty much the driver of adoption for all technology
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
