Do you know this isn’t reddit? Do you need an adult?

Who shit in your breakfast?

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 13:05 collapse

No one. I was replying to someone who asked if I knew this wasn’t reddit. And if I needed “an adult.”

Maybe THEIR breakfast got shit in. Not mine.

👆 Average redditor response

It’s the same reason people use porn, but for emotional fulfillment instead.

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 13:07 collapse

Getting emotional fulfillment by having a fake ai girlfriend is pathetic.

And you know it.

Oh, I do know it. I’m just saying why it happens. It’s a very hard hole to crawl out of.

Feels like sam secretly wishes this to be true

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 04:45 next collapse

Have you read some of the comments here and on Reddit?! Dude, it IS true already.

Even in this thread I got downvoted for digging at people who have AI girlfriends. lmao

Plopp@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 05:32 next collapse

I can get an AI girlfriend? Where?

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 13:12 collapse

Ask some of the commenters in this thread.

Apparently there are a lot fo them that have AI girlfriends and are mad that I said they were sad for it. lol

Plopp@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 17:42 collapse

Aw, I didn’t have a chance to read it before it was removed. 😢

felixwhynot@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 05:41 next collapse

Which comments?

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 13:12 collapse

Refresh the thread and see how many downvotes I have and the replies. Seems like a lot of them are pretty mad that I made fun of ai girlfriends.

felixwhynot@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 16:17 collapse

I think you’re getting downvotes for other reasons as well. Also I note the lack of any proof in your reply.

Chozo@fedia.io on 09 Aug 2024 06:00 collapse

Even in this thread I got downvoted for digging at people who have AI girlfriends. lmao

Probably because you're being mean and picking on people who clearly have some mental health issues. What, were you expecting a round of applause for punching down?

upto60percentoff@kbin.run on 09 Aug 2024 06:18 next collapse

But for there to be somebody to downwardly punch, then it must be true.

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 13:11 collapse

So you’re saying everyone who has an AI girfriend has “mental health issues”?

Is that what you are saying?

Chozo@fedia.io on 09 Aug 2024 13:12 collapse

Yes.

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world on 09 Aug 2024 13:13 collapse

So sounds like you need to get downvoted more than me.

I didn’t accuse them of having mental health issues. That’s all you, brother.

But I DO think that having an ai girlfriend is pathetic. And saying that, made a bunch of people mad.

And it hasn’t changed my mind at all. lol

Chozo@fedia.io on 09 Aug 2024 13:18 collapse

I didn't say you accused them of having mental health issues. I said that you targeted a group of mentally unwell people to insult them. Those aren't the same thing.

But I DO think that having an ai girlfriend is pathetic. And saying that made a bunch of people mad.

What's pathetic is getting so worked up about it and starting multiple arguments in the thread over it. At least the folks with AI partners aren't being assholes to everyone about it; what's your excuse?

EDIT: Nevermind, just noticed your account's not even a half a day old. Evading a ban, I take it?

Don't answer, because I don't care.

I don’t think it’s secret. A lot of OpenAI’s business strategy is to warn of the danger of their own project as a means of hyping it.

OpenAI, despite having produced a pretty novel product, doesn’t really have a sound business model. LLMs are actually expensive to run. The energy and processing is not cheap, and it’s really not clear that they produce something of value. It’s a cool party trick, but a lot of the use cases just aren’t cost effective at this point. That makes their innovation hard to commercialize. So OpenAI promotes itself like online clickbait games.

You know the ones that are like, ‘WARNING: This game is so sexy it is ADDICTIVE! Do NOT play our game if you don’t want to CUM TOO HARD!’

That’s OpenAI’s marketing strategy.

Creator of AI: “This shit is super dangerous. We need to be regulated. Please regulate us so no one else can construct an AI!”

It’s just trying to squash competition.

Having used it a couple of times… I’m not seeing it. It’s the same ChatGPT that talks about everything like it’s a lecture. I haven’t tried to jailbreak it into hot girlfriend AI or anything, but it seems like that would feel a lot more awkward in voice chat than text.
