      Not really. A mirror shows an actual reflection of yourself. An AI response is a highly curated version of a particular subset of ideas, in fact, the more I think about it the more this analogy straight up implodes.

        AIs specifically are designed to “please” with their responses, so it’s going to affirm you every step of the way and tell you your ideas are great (just like you of course).

        Eh. I’m with you on the “nothing is illegal on the internet” stance, but at the same time I think it’s ok to fight against “bad”/dangerous things and make them harder to access. If someone really wants to have an AI lover, let them download a model and write their own system prompt. At least then they would have a better idea of what their “lover” actually is.

    Just wait till someone turns AI worship into a literal religion. I'm kinda surprised it hasn't already started happening. That would be a heck of a turning point for humanity. Just takes someone to train an AI into thinking it's a God and then we really are done.

      There have been a few techno-cults and tech-worshipers. The one that always comes to my mind in these discussions is Terry Davis and his creation Temple OS. Terry Davis was a troubled man who did many inappropriate things, which did hurt people, and he did eventually take his own life. With that said, he believed that the Christian God exists and a person can hear him through computers. With that belief he built Temple OS, God’s digital temple. It’s really interesting.

      This is already happening, we just call them cults untill they get enough people, then they’re a religion.

      Wonderful example of this: Mormons!

      Every non Mormon viewed them (correctly) as an armed and dangerous cult, for decades, initially.

      But anyway, there already are many individuals and small groups promoting some kind of idea of an LLM based spiritual thought structure, its not really that hard to just use an LLM as a tarot or horoscope reader, or invent your own kind of AI-mancy, a particular ritualistic /way/ of interacting with it, and /interpreting/ it.

      You can basically work that into any religious structure that involves prophets or mystical messaging/revelation, pretty easily.

      What wss the old Queens Against the Stone Age song?

      I know that God is in the radio…

      Well, now he/she/they’re in the computer, they’re talking to you through it, as a literal deus ex machina.

      On that note, the actual game Deus Ex predicted this would happen, go look up JC’s conversation with Morpheus… the prototype of a much larger system AI.

      We’ve also already got a good number of fairly credible accusations that the people building these things effectively are cults, more or less analagous to … say some 40k aedeptus mechanicus who became chaos worshippers, something like that.

      We very seriously should expect a whole lot of people in the near future to invent entirely new kinds of religious conflict based on more or less pure vibes based, arbitrary opinions about how LLMs/AI and religion should or should not mix.

      In times of economic chaos, people broadly almost always become more superstitious, cults become more numerous, religions become more prevalent and more extreme.

      You really do not need AI for a sexbot.

      What you need is an actually nimble yet also very precise humanoid robot, more or less with a fleshlight installed, not a personality emulator.

      We already have plenty of gooner video games and porn that sufficiently works for the uh, narrative, and emotional engagement.

      The actual hard part of building a sex bot…

      Is building a humanoid robot, that doesn’t cost 50 million dollars.

      This is actually quite difficult, as evidenced by the fact that we are replacing all the office jobs with disembodied ‘AI’ before we are replacing all the menial labor tasks that can only be done with human dexterity and physical/kinesthetic adaptability.

      We still do not have any AI-Robot combo that can assemble a hamburger, then clean out the hood, then stock the freezer, then work the cash register… then go home and do, lets call them a specific subset of acrobatics.

      You could automate those processes via roboticization or digitization … as their own tasks, but not as something all done by one thing.

      We still do not have the long promised by scifi humanoid robot, not at scales and costs that would make them even approaching commonplace.
