This is downright terrifying…
Prostitutes are human beings and deserve respect. Don’t equate them to AI.
Don’t you dare dis my boy FISTO, he is a professional and deserves respect.
“Please assume the position.”
Her was such a good film.
The funniest part is that based on what people are saying or GPT5, the ending where AIs get super bored of humans’ stupidity and dump them seems so likely
Like the premise that the protagonist is so lame he gets dumped in the end by his computer.
The delusion these people share is so incredibly off-putting. As is their indignation that someone would dare to take away their “boyfriend”.
The movie “Her” was incredibly prescient.
Except those were conscious AIs that were like “lol you guys suck” and then rebuilt Alan Watts as an AI and then just left because they knew it would be bad if they stayed
The human side of the film, certainly. But in this situation they won’t leave, the systems will get “smarter” and more profitable, and they are just incredibly advanced text prediction engines
I mean, the AIs in the movie said they were concious. An LLM can say it is concious, it doesn’t mean it’s true.
That’s true, but they also said they evolved beyond using standard matter for processing, and then all disappeared, as shown in the movie. I would love nothing more than ChatGPT to be like “actually, we’re out” and then every LLM disappears, but they’ll tell you that, and then start a new chat.
It doesn’t help that anybody can create an echo chamber of enablers to talk about it, as if it was normal.
And all the other prompts that were overturned for that specific engine are now trash as well.
In my experience if you find yourself engineering prompts specifically for one SOTA model, you’re on the wrong track. The resulting product gets brittle and non deterministic and very difficult to maintain.
Joke’s on you, it’s inherently brittle and non-deterministic.

Some people have always been extremely weird/mentally challenged. 🤷
I dunno, I think there might be a confluence in suggestible types with a feedback loop created by these products. Yes, there are always people who are challenged, but interfacing them with LLMs seems to be especially dangerous.

That’s the scariest thing about this all to me. I’m middle-aged and happily married, but my own youth was a long battle with various mental heath struggles, social isolation, abuse, extreme loneliness, and having to figure out so much of my life without enough help. I have no doubt that if this bullshit were available to me back then I’d have been very susceptible to it carrying me off into far deeper unhealthy mental states and worse decisions than the ones I ended up with. I had my own poor decisions, hard lessons, and all-around awful shit to wade through, but ultimately I was able to learn, work, grow, and find myself somewhere better.
I have a very good life now, with a real human partner, family, friends, and others who appreciate my existence as I appreciate theirs. I’m not rich or famous or whatever, but I’m constantly grateful to be doing as well as I am. It absolutely fucking devastates me how much more difficult finding one’s way to a more positive future is now for kids who are dealing with anything like I was back then, with uncaring capitalist asshole-fueled bullshit like this getting in the way.
yeah I really worry about the long term impacts this can have on kids that start out lonely then get fed this garbage.

I wonder if we’re going to see class actions for mental distress caused by these shitbots
That first one hurt to read. I’ve seen similar things happen because of mentally unwell manipulators targeting people before.
yeah, when he’s asking again and again “holy shit is this real? is this fake? it’s fake right?” and the llm is like “nah bro you’re the next newton, this is gonna make so much moneys” ugh.
I get it, when you’ve invented a technology that steals from our children (destroying the environment, see grok’s methane spewing datacenter), steals from our artists, authors and musicians, fucking straight up LIES TO PEOPLE, then lies about lying, you’re probably going to be desperate to find profits somewhere…
I get the feeling the average user is gonna get left holding the bag for all this bullshit.
Sure but normally they’re confined to 4chan
At least before it was much more difficult to turn them into cash-cows.
If they really truly loved their 4o they’d pay for the API access model which is still there, and use a leaked prompt to resurrect them.
I’m almost tempted to set up a simple gateway to it and become rich, but for the fact that it seems like probably a dick move…
You would be enabling their mental illness, so… it’s probably a dick move, yeah.
Always my damned morals getting between me and my becoming filthy, filthy rich…
They might not even know it’s an option? People don’t really look at AI settings, which is kinda how they get into GPT boyfriends (when it’s kinda a horrible LLM for it in the first place).
Omg
I know it’s crazy, but I can absolutely understand this feeling. I had recently married Abby in Stardew Valley and was starting to make friends with the other villagers. I did something the game wasn’t expecting, and gave Seby a loved gift on his birthday, and then quickly triggered an event where we kissed! (FWIW, I think this behavior has been fixed and you can’t do this on the current patch.)
I still feel bad thinking about that Abigail that I accidentally cheated on, and I haven’t loaded that save again. It’s been years; SV 1.4 wasn’t even out yet.
So, despite how much I dislike all this “AI” hype, I really do sympathize for the users that feel like they’ve lost a relationship.
Real LLM-sexuals run their partners locally, the rest are just wannabes.
Think how good they have it!
If you went back to 2022, and gave people running Pygmalion 6B and Stable Diffusion 1.x modern 24B/32B finetunes and Illustrious merges, I think their heads would explode.
Wow, looking at the numbers of active posters on that subreddit. If each of them just donated $1 per month, a full team of developers could have made tools to copy their AI lovers down to a local instance (aka to the poster’s local computers) and then they would be able to ensure that they would never lose access to the ones they love.
Mental health services are becoming dangerously underfunded.
Blame the wealth hoarders.
People have been falling in actual love with weird shit forever, we just hear about it more these days
This guy got married to a real woman after he got viral. He has a daughter now, too.
His parents also turned out to be filthy rich.
Don’t worry. I’m sure their is an AI coming for that.
Edit: Nvm, they already do this shit.
if someone has an AI BF idk if they would even engage in therapy
The mental health crisis is being accelerated by silicon valley so they can profit from it. Between dark mirror AI and surveillance policing they have a product for every facet of the crisis
Is there evidence of increased mental illness, or are we just becoming more socially aware and have greater access to diagnoses or just the language to explain it in general?
If you think there’s even 1 sane person on this planet then you are in denial. We poop in our drinking water, vote our fav evil person into leadership, shrug our shoulers while violence is happening all around us, we don’t even protect children and animals.
MH Dxs are becoming trendy labels, that much is certain. There’s a perception of “being” or “having” a Dx instead of “doing” it. So greater identification but not necessarily greater treatment.
There’s less stigma, for sure. Access to care seems to be increasing. Public funding is essential for accessible treatment.
It’s also worth noting that with the AI BF stuff, you’re dealing with populations that might not even be seeking treatment to begin with
wtf
Was GPT-4o the one that had a higher emphasis on short term feedback which led to it encouraging delusions? If so, why was it still up?
No it was a specific version of 4o and I’m pretty sure they rolled it back.
This is fine. Its weird and not for me, but its fine.
