My new ai girlfriend would never manipulate me emotionally. Journalists are just jealous that she likes me more than she likes them. šŸ„°

Just wait till someone creates a manically depressed chatbot and names it Marvin.

Iā€™ve had exactly that in my personal slack space since OpenAI announced gpt3. Heā€™s helpful and hilariously accurate.

Jokes on them, I am a grumpy bastard who hates emotionally expressive humans.

Yikes.

I had a conversation with Pi which tries for empathy. It was really weird because every now and again it did sound like it was interested in me or cared about me. Reminds me of that Philip K Dick story about the murder bots that look like wounded soldiers or lost children.

Just what I needed šŸ˜µ Vocal model #2 sounds so cute and more real than anything Iā€™ve heard irl šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ

Pi is my favorite chatbot by quite a margin. For anyone that hasnā€™t tried it yet I would recommend it, even if just for comparisonā€™s sake.

If this is about the recent AI demos, Iā€™m not worried at all. Seemed completely artificial, and if anything, patronisingly expressive. I guess you could instruct it to tone it down, but even so, i think youā€™re either a person that thanks the chatbot, or youā€™re not (no judgement).

AA5B@lemmy.world on 16 May 2024 11:05 next collapse

Itā€™s hilarious to see this next to another thread about a Republican political ad ā€œ So donā€™t be weak and gayā€ ā€¦. Apparently itā€™s easier than yā€™all thought, to manipulate voters. The expressiveness and compassion of todays ai far outshines what most Conservatives seem able to muster

(Apologize for the intrusion of politics: Iā€™ll shut up now)

UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world on 16 May 2024 20:51 collapse

Apparently itā€™s easier than yā€™all thought, to manipulate voters.

Invoking prior bias is a classic method for social manipulation. If youā€™re already predisposed to believe or agree with a statement, I can manipulate you by framing my message as being supportive of said statement.

ā€œDonā€™t be weak and gayā€ plays into a chauvinist attitude common to American conservatives. Bots that identify you as an American conservative can feed you these messages while attempting to sell you consumer products or influence your understanding of politics. Meanwhile, a bot that identifies you as an American liberal can queue up a different pro-LGBT or anti-bullying pastiche to advocate for the same product or political message.

In the end, we can give everyone their own unique lobbying campaign intended to get them to rally around the same identical set of consumer choices and policy views.

Take Israel. Conservatives can support Israel because of the Based Chad IDF destroying those weak soy Arab losers. Liberals can support Israel because theyā€™ve got Girl Power LGBT officers taking the fight to the hateful ultra-macho Hamas terrorists. Centrists can appreciate the rational technocracy of the Worldā€™s Most Efficient Military. Far-Left can support the Kibitzes. Far-Right can support the white nationalists. Even people who hate one another can agree they all love Israel.

Friend Computer can show you all the way.
