This with the right controls and rules could actually be a positive thing for people who don’t want or aren’t ready for a relationship with a real person. However as the people who are running things are Elon, Sam, and Mark, there is fuck all chance of that and whatever this ends up as it will be exploitative and will result in deaths.
Help.

Exactly!!! The main problem is not the technology itself but who is in charge of it! Can we really trust one of those moguls to not turn these LLMs into something that ends up killing people?

Clanker-loving cogfuckers. Disgusting. Traitors to the species. But at least they’ll never breed.

I don’t understand the segment of people who were excited to come up with a new slur for AI. Plus it’s not even effective. It doesn’t make sense, doesn’t bite. Computers don’t clank, not even robots clank anymore. Are we in Battlestar Galactica or something

I uh… I took this as humor. Maybe I was wrong.

Why do I feel like this is just an excuse for people to dust off their Klan hoods but socially acceptable

Projection, probably.

I’m not even sure it’s really parasocial. There’s nothing to have a relationship with. This seems like something else, although I don’t know what you’d call it. It’s more akin to getting addicted to a video game.

… With whatever corporations is providing the bot. When the business decides to change the model or impose a technical limit that impacts their experience negatively, well you get the idea. There is a material, exploitive capital machine on the other end, and it wants your time.

If it even partially alleviates loneliness, and if it encourages the person to become more open and confident when communicating with humans, then it’s a great thing.

I recently discovered the MyBoyfriendIsAI subreddit and I wish I hadn’t.
There’s a woman who had ChatGPT pick from a bunch of rings online and now she’s “engaged” to it.
I just… I don’t know… we’ve failed people.

I agree that this isn’t a social relationship because “not a girl” as Janet says. But I don’t think it’s a parasocial relationship either. It’s much two-way than parasocial is. Maybe more like scoli social if that was a word.

You know that by assigning the role of tulpa to their ai they imply that they can summon their companion outside of the chat itself right?

Why would anyone choose to know that?

I am forced to admit that I knew that.
But my partner of 8 years has DID.
