I just watched a video someone linked here the other day of an AI "therapist" bot that not only ignored the user when they said they were feeling like self-harm, but it also encouraged them to kill people and came onto them romantically.

If someone is generating let's say their own porno with AI, alright whatever, but some antisocial shit like falling in love with a computer that doesn't actually care is too much.

we can't judge people existing in ai-chatbot universe anyways

No, I'm judging.

Sorry you can’t stop me I’m doing it rn

Brb going to go and kiss a mirror

I completely judge. Perhaps I am not politically correct, but we all have limits

if someone has ever "considered an ai lover" they should be forced to get the words "weird freak" tattooed on their forehead so i know never to interact with them

I'm not going to judge the people considering AI lovers. They're trying to fulfil a basic human need in an increasingly disconnected and uncertain world. We can't stop it, eventually it will become normalised and I'm concerned for everybody's safety.

Most people who do this aren't going to host their own models, they're going to use commercially available apps.

Aside from the vast amount of money that'll be made by the company that gains a monopoly in this space, because that's generally what happens in tech these days, the data they gather WILL be used to improve the systems that already try to manipulate you regardless of whether you use an AI companion or not. It'll make targeted advertising seem as innocuous as billboards by comparison.

I didn't expect this movie to be relevant but here we are. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_2000

Then again, sex dolls have existed for a while now.
