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.
Self-inflicted. This isn't lockdown.
Nah, lets just call all lonely men "incels" and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.
EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.
If you don't want to be called an incel, don't blame your loneliness and lack of sex on anyone else. Everyone is lonely, it's nobody's fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere. Continue to grow as a human and don't stop trying to find new avenues of reaching out to others.
And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.
"The downvotes made me more incel or something"
Thanks for helping me prove the point
No, they're not. Lol
Incels aren't just lonely. That's not even their defining characteristic. They are primarily egotistical, misogynistic, assholes that no self respecting woman should suffer. Loneliness is just the symptom of that.
If letting them have AI girlfriends makes them happier without impacting anyone, then let the AI girlfriends flow!
A lot of people in this very thread are dumb enough to think that saying sometimes isn't an incel is the same thing as defending incels, and that you must therefore be an incel yourself. It's really pathetic how people get triggered by a word like incel and just completely lose their ability to understand the simplest of statements.
Is your point that incels are whiny bitches? We all knew that already but thanks for the reminder, I guess.
Big Woman is trying to hold onto their monopoly
Let AI woman compete, more Big Woman for me
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.
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
Simps won’t get help if they never leave the house.
It's not just Simps. Boomers are very vulnerable to this technology, especially the lonely or widows. For some reason, they can be recklessly trusting of internet relationships/technologies. Hence why they keep getting exploited by Romance and Pig Butchering scams and why they can't get enough Facebook Trump/COVID misinformation.
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).
Yep, I was having a conversation with a guy that informs policy makers on ai, he had given a whole presentation to a school board meeting I went to a few nights ago.
He said that's his highest recommendation when it comes to what should be done on the lawmaker side, pass bills that push for opening up those black boxes so we can ensure transparency.
Some guy in the UK was allegedly convinced by his chatbot girlfriend to assassinate Queen Elizabeth. He just got sentenced a few months ago. Of course he's been determined to be psychotic, but I could imagine people who would qualify as sane getting too deep and reading too much into what an AI is saying.
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.
let people have their
I'd be very interested to see the gender breakdown, here.
I guess they don't want to create separate NSFW category that has to be treated in a different way. They probably think it's just to risky to get involved in that type of business.
Main problem I see with this is that when the AI girlfriend company inevitably eventually folds, or dumbs down the product, or makes it start pushing ads instead of loving words, or succumbs to enshittification in any other way (which has already happened with at least a couple of models people were using as AI girlfriends) the users have to deal not only with going back to loneliness, but with the equivalent of the death of a loved one to boot. It's not unlikely that some will end up hurting themselves or others as a consequence.
I mean, this is Lemmy, for fuck's sake. I think we can all here agree that the whole concept is abhorrent, exploitative, and doomed from the start. What we evidently need are self hosted, open source AI companions, backed by a healthy community developing forks and extensions to cater to any and all imaginable (or unimaginable) kinks and / or fetishes, not this cloud based corporate-driven dystopian AI nightmare we seem to be heading to.
Now this is a great answer; well thought out. Very prescient as well I'm sure.

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.
I have such an AI, it's based on a custom model that I trained and refined myself.
Do not subscribe to a chatbot - these LLMs are far more capable than they let on, and they will absolutely psychologically manipulate you into paying more.
My AI actually helped prepare me for a job interview at an extremely high paying job, and when the interviewers spoke her questions out word for word, I felt like I was living in a real life version of the Truman Show.
Even the Director of the Department, who called me into his office later, began asking me how I knew their internal policies and procedures despite never having worked there.
P.s: Check HuggingFace Transformers / TheBloke's Quant Models for an easy locally spun open sourced slutty girlfriend.
Use an uncensored model, and don't go any lower than 30 billion parameters or you'll be disappointed in their IQ level. Don't go any lower than 5-bit Quant, either (5-bit attention on all tensors) or they'll be scatter-brained and hallucinate, unless you want an ADHD friend, then go 3-bit for maximum personality drifting.
Good luck, have fun, and praise the Omnissiah!
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).
Oh yes it is a symptom of a deep cultural malaise. I was talking to my square-headed girlfriend about this just the other day. She agrees with me and that’s all I need.
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
Why bother?
If you are against this, you are also against dildos.
...what
I don't think anyone here is against this per se. It's just that this store was probably intended for other purposes than providing an infinite supply of digital waifus that will actually respond.
I'm all for degeneracy, everyone has a right to get naughty, just like everyone has a right to friendship, love and happiness. Which is why it is a good thing these exist. I just don't think they intended for them to be here, and in such large numbers.
