Sorry, I string words together poorly. Would you like the quick summary or the 30-min deep dive video?

Lots of people started using the chatbot as a surrogate partners over the last seven years. Since the thing is a frictionless hug-box it pulled them deeper into their solitude and trained them to only respond to interactions where the other person completely acquiesces or at the very least yes/ands them constantly. Which is pretty hard for a human to be friends with another person who's used to that. Hence, inceldom

    Oh, yeah, I'm familiar with that from reddit's r/myboyfriendisai, which is...different from incels, but horrifying in its own way. Femcels?

    Like, I'm continually astounded about how AI is able to bring out the absolute worst in people

  • Oh yeah, Femcels are incels. They were actually the first incels way back in the day on the old incel forum.

    It's pretty sad. I low key had higher hopes for the idea of a LLM based on a repository of human knowledge but they never should have let finance bros call the shots. Of COURSE they would build a sycophantic little reprobate of a chatbot
