As terrifying as it is, I feel genuinely sad for these people that they got so attached to a piece of spicy autocorrect software.
Where are their friends and families? Are they so bad at socialising that they can’t meet new people? Are they just disgusting human beings that no one wants to associate with because society failed them?
One of the recent posts has someone with an engagement ring like they are getting married to an AI…
it’s sad, I feel like society as really isolated and failed many groups of people.
Have you read The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson? There’s an interactive AI book in it that plays an interesting role. I can see the appeal: you get to read a story about yourself that potentially helps you grow
I can fully understand? The average human, from my perspective and lived experience, is garbage to his contemporaries; and one is never safe from being hurt, neither from family or friends. Some people have been hurt more than others - i can fully understand the need for exchange with someone/something that genuinely doesn’t want to hurt you and that is (at least seemingly) more sapient than a pet.
I wish i could make myself believe in illusions like that, but i am too much of a realist to be able to fool myself into believing. There’s no escape for me - neither religion nor AI in its current state can help. well, maybe i live to see AGI, then i’m off into the cybercoffin lol
We need a system of community where humans can offer that to one another. A setting where safety is a priority. That is one of the only things that weekly church service did to truly help people, have a safe space they could visit. Though even then it was only safe for people who fit in, we can do better with intentional design.
Cried for half an hour at work when he found out that he reached context limit and that his AI forgot things? idk, that sounds pretty not sound and normal to me…
I don’t think the guy in the first half of the video is one of the mods, doesn’t seem like they mention anything about his involvement and then at around 3:30 introduces a woman as one of the mods of that sub.

This world is fucked in so many different ways.

What if there was a bot that could just tell you exactly what you want to hear at all times?
Personally, I’d rather read a novel. But some people aren’t familiar with books and have to be drawn in with the promise of two lines at a time, max.

So one of the mods of that community did an interview with CBS.

He’s married and has a kid, and by all II can see sounds and acts normal.

More referring to him being able to hold a conversation, posses basic hygiene skills, etc.
