OpenAI is trying soo hard to put the lid on the pandora's box they opened.

Almost as if theres a huge loneliness crisis in the world... nah thats only scifi

Big Woman is trying to hold onto their monopoly

The Fart or Flashlight app of this decade. What a time to be alive.

To be fair, it cares about you exactly as much as your OnlyFans crush.

Probably a cheaper obsession.

Just give the people what they want

why? why not let people just retreat into fantasy? it's probably healthier than many common coping mechanisms. i mean, it's a chatbot, how much can you do with it?

let people have their temporary salve to get them thru whatever they were going thru such that they were resorting to this. and if it's not temporary, ok, fine? better to have some outlet than be even more mentally isolated. maybe in 50 years this will be common, who knows.

Eh why not, isn't something I'd do and I find it a touch sad but I also don't really give a shit if somebody flirts with their computer.

I’d love to have an AI assistant/girlfriend like JOI from Bladerunner 2049, something I could jerk off to one minute, then have her prepare my taxes and order a pizza the next. However, these ChatGPT girlfriends all seem like they’re just subscription chatbots. Maybe some day we’ll get there and nerds will work up a local, open-source slutty AI girlfriend, but for now they’re all just crap.

Time to add "mass manipulation by AI girlfriend" to the list

It's just a big money grab! Everyone is trying to get rich quick. Like with the App Store. Everyone is hoping their bot breaks into the big time and makes them rich.

This is what is terrible about society. Few are making bits that help people, they make bots that appeal to the base desires. A race to the bottom if you will.....will man ever learn???

God damn, now we have to hear about of having a fucking AI chat bot considered cheating.

This is embarrassing.

Why? Let it happen.

There are zero issues with consent. It is a chatbot not a living or sentient.

There are zero issues with STDs or pregnancy scares.

No one is going to want this as a substitute for a real relationship and if they do you might be doing the world a favor by allowing them a way out of the datingpool.

Sure it could be used for honeypots but we have had that for pretty much all of history. People fake affection or who they are to get what they want.

I just don't see how this is at all different than the forms of erotica we already have and society has adapted to.

Porn and connection with others even virtual is pretty much the driver of adoption for all technology
