No thanks, i just want to make out with my Marilyn Monrobot

Compete? Idk I think of it as a win win. I don't want to date a guy who would call a chatbot their gf, so sure, why not? Let them self select out of the dating pool. Mind you, it's not a real relationship because it's just a glorified autocomplete with rendered boobs, it's not alive and it's definitely not intelligent, artifical or other wise. Relationships are boundaries, growing together and appreciating the little moments of life. No LLM is gonna do that.

So sure. Let em have fun, Idc, but it's hella red flags to think it's real.

Of course, I don’t believe AI girlfriends are going to completely replace relationships. But I do think that, much like online porn, they will be there – always accessible, always a temptation, always a source of instant satisfaction. And I think it’s likely that, for some, a real girlfriend just won’t seem enough on her own, especially considering nearly half of Replika’s users are already in a relationship or married.

Doesn't seem that bad tbh, the dynamic of men being expected to have zero emotional outlets other than their romantic partner has always been super toxic and doesn't make things better for anyone.

The only faint glimmer of optimism I can find in all this is that I think, at some point, life might become so stripped of reality and humanity that the pendulum will swing. Maybe the more automated, predictable interactions are pushed on us, the more actual conversations with awkward silences and bad eye contact will seem sexy. Maybe the more we are saturated with the same perfect, pornified avatars, the more desirable natural faces and bodies will be. Because perfect people and perfect interactions are boring. We want flaws! Friction! Unpredictability! Jokes that fall flat! I hold onto hope that someday we will get so sick of the artificial that our wildest fantasies will be something human again.

This article is pretty reasonable

Let's be honest: the type of guy to have an AI "girlfriend" was never going to ever have enough rizz to get an IRL girlfriend. Women, you can sleep easy tonight knowing that incels no longer have to kill people in order to feel fulfilled.

I have an idea, how about stop staring at your screens and go out and interact with people in the real world? Problem solved.

just kidding. I'm going to stare at my screen until I have to go to work tomorrow. Tomorrow at work I will deal with real humans for 8 hours and then I will go home and stare at my screen again.

Is all of 4chan incels now?

Interesting, so now we’re just doing away with the whole façade of dating apps having real women on them and just going straight to hooking up with AI bot girlfriends. I just downloaded one to see what the deal was and it wanted to charge me a subscription for the “privilege” of talking dirty and seeing images, I guess that’s the business model.

Twitter is estimated to have 48 million bots. Did you read about the Ashley Madison data breach from 2015? 12,000 of the 5.5 million registered female accounts were used on a regular basis, about 0.2%. "The women's accounts show so little activity that they might as well not be there." "we have absolutely no data recording human activity at all in the Ashley Madison database dump from Impact Team. All we can see is when fake humans contacted real ones."

fuckin incels man

I've literally never heard of a woman irl complaining about men having the option of a virtual girlfriend. If anything, they've seemed sympathetic to their plight.

Can AI suck my dick?

I mean, strong possibility it wasn't a human that wrote the headline or article either.

I think the secret to happiness is having a real life partner who you can love and struggle with, and an AI partner who supports you while you're growing. The best of both worlds.

I'm going to try it out.

Wait til u see AI Boyfriendz.

I can't cuddle with an AI girlfriend :(

Nahh women don't care, they'll be doing the same thing

Wasn't there a Futurama episode about this very thing?

Feeling the Torment Nexus vibes.
