Your AI Girlfriend is a Data-Harvesting Horror Show
People use 4 VPNs and more sec-ops than the NSA, but get hacked because their AI girlfriend is like:
Hiiu~~
It’s me AI-uuu-Chan!
I’m so sawwd, I don’t know weeeuh abwout u!
Wats ur mommies maiden name UwU, and the name of ur kawaiii first pet? UwUUU? * starts twerking * (◠‿◠✿)

You can judge all you like. It’s not even really AI, but it does tell me when to dildo my butt.
This is the kind of thing that is currently an object of mockery, becomes “kinky” and “bold” in 25 years, and ultimately has two or three slang entries in urbandictionary in 50.
Doesn’t matter.
If the service is free you are the product. That’s why I pay my girlfriend
Oftentimes now if the service is paid, you’re still the product!
Does your girlfriend pay you too?
😮
Am I the product?
Saying you should be able to clone and own your AI girlfriend still sounds very wrong.
yeah that’s part of the joke
I’ve seen like 5 posts about “AI BF/GF” today and it never ceases to surprise me how fucking easy it is to dupe people with these products, like holy shit humanity is fucked.
I’m always waiting for another ethical disaster trend to end but everybody is always in line for Mr Bonez Wild Ride.
If all you need is a one sided conversation designed to make you feel better, LLM’s are great at concocting such “pep talks”. For some, that just might be enough to male it believable. The Turing test was cracked years ago, only now do we have access to things that can do that for free*.
Nah, bullshit, so far these LLM’s are as likely to insult or radicalize you as comfort you. That won’t ever be solved until AGI becomes commonplace, which won’t be for a long ass time. These products are failures at launch.
… Have you tried any of the recent ones? As it stands chatGPT and Gemini are both built with guardrails strong enough to require custom inputs to jailbreak, with techniques such as Reinforcement learning from Human Feedback uses to lobotomize misconduct out of the AI’s.

JFC a skipping record plays right on queue whenever somebody speaks ill of the GPTs and LLMs.
It’s wild that people brag that it’s able to do essentially the same as copying and pasting someone else’s basic code but with only a few extra imagined errors sprinkled in for fun but that just makes it more useful for pretending you aren’t again lljust literally copying someone else’s stuff.
It’s a search engine that makes up 1/8 of all it says. But sure it’s super useful.
Sometimes it generates its own fake documentation when called out on a lie.
… Don’t pull a strawman, all I said is that the AI’s designed to approximate human written text, do a good job at approximating human text.
This means you can use them to simulate a reddit thread or make a fake wikipedia page, or construct a set of responses to someone who wants comfort.
Next time, read what someone actually says, and respond to that.
Oh thanks, I really wanted to read another defence of an unethical product by some fanboy with no life. I’m so glad you managed to pick up on that based on my previous comments. I love it. You chose a great conversation to start here.
The tech is great at pretending to be human. It is simply a next “word” (or phrase) predictor. It is not good at answering obscure questions, writing code or making a logical argument. It is good at simulating someone.
It is my experience that it approximates a human well, but it doesn’t get the details right (like truthness or reflecting objective reality), making it useless for essay writing, but great for stuff like character AI and other human simulations.
If you are right, give an actual Iogical response only capable by a human, as opposed to a generic ad hominem. I repeat my question, Have you actually used any of the GPT3 era models?
A pretty early chatbot called Eliza simulated a non-directive psychotherapist. It kind of feels like they’ve improved hugely but not really changed much.
Is it really duping, though? The way I see it, most of these people are perfectly aware of what they’re doing.
It’s a very nuanced situation, but the people being sold these products and buying them are expecting a sentient robot lover. They’re getting another shitty chatbot that inevitably fails to meet bare minimum companionship standards such as not berating you.
There currently exists no ethical use of LLM AI. Your comment can be construed as defence of malicious people and actions.
I’ve never met anyone who uses them, but I’m also not sure people actually think it’s sentient. I’m sure some do, but I’d assume the vast majority are just looking to have a conversation, and they don’t care if it’s with a person or a (pretty good) chat bot.
Also, there is a way to use it ethically. As the post mentions, run it locally and know what you’re doing with it. I don’t see any issues if you’re aware of what it is, just as I don’t see any issue using auto-correct or any other technology. We don’t need to go full Butlerian (yet).
Really? You don’t think anyone that uses these don’t think they are sentient?
Sure it’s not like the people designing these are prone to make-believing the AI for sentient too, right?
You are coming at this from your perspective which knows them to not be real. That’s not gonna be how the average moron thinks and there is more of them than you think. And they absolutely believe their is a tiny sentient brain somewhere in there that is alive. I’m all for people doing what makes them happy but also this is a loneliness confirming hole to get trapped in and absolutely opens doors to influence people through their imaginary friends that they think they can trust.
Ha, like “real girlfriend” is a thing.
Happy valentine’s day, everyone!
Don’t worry, followed the proper traditions. I had dinner with Richard Stallman to got his approval to court my AI girlfriend.
Well, I had dinner with Bill Gates. And he told me “who are you” and “how did you get in here”.
Why would my hand do that to me? And how?
I hate the implication that AI girlfriends aren’t real
What do you define as real?
Do they exist as code on a device? Sure
Are they persons? HAHAHAHA no.
I hope you lose sleep over it.
I had a switch wig out today and whatever it was doing poisoned all the dhcp leases on the network as they came up for renewal (assigned IPs on the wrong subnet - even though it wasn’t supposed to assign IPs at all). It took me a very long time to figure out, because not everything failed at once. Plus, even after I’d swapped the switch, some devices just started working, and others needed their leases reset manually. An hour in, my wife was in the fetal position clutching a squishmallow.
What’s a switch wig?
A hairy network issue!
The switch (that I’m returning today, after it failed completely yesterday evening) is a bit fancier than your average switch. It kept reverting to default settings, including its default IP address - which meant it was not using the same set of networking instructions as my router, preventing everything it was connected to from accessing the internet.
Is that why she keeps refusing my pull requests…
That’s a pull-out request, and you’re obliged to honor it.
you can bet your ass my partner of any significant status is getting the open source software treatment as soon as possible.
Mostly because i actually just cannot use anything else, but we’ll pretend it’s noble instead.
You’re going to start accepting pull requests from the community?
im not rolling my own code here, i’m rolling other peoples code, that’s their pull request to deal with, not mine.
what the fuck is an ai girlfriend
Fuck, I need to go stab my eyes.
What I got from this is that you’re the bottom in this relationship.
You cannot comprehend how much I hate the fact that ‘UwU’ entered the public lexicon and I block the FUCK out of any degenerate that uses it.
Block me harder daddy :3
I read the waifu parts in Michael Duncan Clarke’s voice and it made it bearable.
Too late! That was too good to be your first go.
Wtf is up with the W’s?
Its part of this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwu
Now you can follow the rabbithole further but that is a choice you have to make.
I get uwu, its ancient. But all the w’s instead of R’s?
I envy you never heard any morons talking like a toddler trying to be cute. Sadly, that day has come for you too now.
I got you. UwU speech on Wiktionary
babytalk infantilism fetishized by the furry community.
“Fetishized” is a very strong word, and I’d also hesitate to call a speech impediment “baby talk” – I’ve met grown adults who talk that way simply because they don’t know better
Aren’t you from a furry instance lol
Says the furry :)
I shall reference this post for the reason I commit terrorism
Ha! As if real girlfriends don’t harvest personal data!
But do they sell it to third parties?
I have heard they share it freely.
It’s more like a mutually beneficial exchange
Depends. Is she named Shi Pei Pu?
My wife gossip about me with her boyfriend.
