"lol at least it will help get some losers out of the gene pool, lonely unfuckable loosers deserve what they get if they resort to a chatbot for affection lol" fucking hell what nastiness some people have in them.
Im not 100% comfortable with AI gfs and the direction society could potentially be heading. I don't like that some people have given up on human interaction and the struggle for companionship, and feel the need to resort to a poor artificial substitute for genuine connection. Its very sad.
However, I also understand what it truly means to be alone, for decades. You can point the finger and mock people for their social failings. It doesn't make them feel any less empty. Some people are genuinely so psychologically or physically damaged, their confidence so ultimately shattered, that dating or even just fucking seem like pipe dreams. A psychologically normal, average looking human being who can't stand a month or two of being single could never empathize with what that feels like.
If an AI girlfriend could help relieve that feeling for one irreparably broken human being on this planet, lessen that unbearable lonelyness even a smidge through faux interaction, then good. I'll never want one, but im happy its an option for those who really need something like it. They'll get no mockery or meanness or judgement from me.
That's not even the scary part. What we really shouldn't be uncomfortable with is this very closed technology having so much power over people. There's going to be a handful of gargantuan immoral companies controlling a service that the most emotionally vulnerable people will become addicted to.
Imo the safest solution for that would be a self hosted one that doesent dial out to a conpany server
The marketing for some of them also seems quite predatory, which doesn't seem like a good sign.
Although I'm personally less concerned about the people that seek them out, and more the ones that just get used in the wild.
Imagine hitting it off with someone, having a friendship for a while, only to find out that they're an engagement or scam bot? It'd be devastating.
that's already happening on just about every dating app though
Was functionally the entire business model of sites like "Seeking Arrangements" since their inception. AI isn't doing what phone sex operators and cam-whores have been doing for decades. They're just filling in as a cheap inferior substitute that can over-saturate the market at very little cost to the distributors.
AI Girlfriend is the new 419 Scam, kicked up a notch.

Omg I just looked this up that orb looks like it eats souls. Like they had to have spent time actively designing it to be as sinister as possible, with fucking slogans like "orbs are here" and "look into my eye"
It literally looks like a cyberpunk/Sci-Fi prop used by a nefarious entity.
Do you have a link?
This is just a stepping stone to the ultimate guilt free porn. No one gets hurt, 300 simulated penises. Except that no one is simulating penises yet. The gay community needs to step up it's simulation....oh this just in: gay guys don't need a simulation because the real thing is easy to get.
I would argue that a continuous state of isolation, bolstered by shoddy simulations of human interaction, that we treat as a stand in to real human contact and expression, is going to hurt a whole lot of people in the long run.
It all just feels like some 18th century Libertarian looking at an opium den full of washed out dope-heads and saying "Look at how happy they are! There's no such thing as an opium crisis, because its all voluntary and the end result is profound bliss."
The gay community doesn't need simulation precisely because it is rich with enthusiastic socially active and eager individuals. The NEET community needs simulations because they've fallen victim to their own anxieties, failed to develop strong social skills, and alienated themselves from everyone else in their lives who might provide them with the experiences they're seeking a rough approximation of in simulation.
I would say the following things would help:
While by no means an exhaustive list, I feel as though if we follow the steps of RAWR, we can at least make an incremental improvement.
Damnit I didn't see the acronym till the end 😂
Simps are not the fringe market they used to be. Soon, they’ll be a billion dollar a year one.
[Yawn]
I’m all for a bit of Ai panic, but this is the worst kind of desperate journalism.
The facts as reported:
The articles conclusion: Ai regulation is doomed to fail and the machines will wipe out humanity.
Well, as we all know, AI girlfriend is the first step to AI Hitler.
Stupid sexy hitler UwU.
Not that I'm really interested in one but what's actually wrong with making an AI gf app?
Who could have seen this coming?
Can't wait to hear about someone getting dumped by a computer.
I don't get it. What's wrong with pretending to have a relationship with an AI? Fantasy video games are super popular, and probably a more realistic experience than the current state of ChatGPT.
Yeah there's a bit of similarity to pursuing a "romance route" in a video game. Funny to think that it's more acceptable to fuck a fake bear in Baldur's Gate 3 than to have weekly conversations with a bot that pretends to understand your written words.
I suppose the key difference being that my wife in Skyrim is more akin to a one-night stand since she can't reciprocate my notes of affection.
In my opinion, it’s immoral to profit off of someone’s loneliness. Of course that’s a huge sector of the economy now and why dating apps focus on vapid, meaningless hookups rather than finding real working relationships, and cam girls exploiting whales, so on a so forth.
But I still think that things like AI girlfriends promote isolation, hostility, and anti-social behaviors that are harmful to society.
