    [Yawn]

    I’m all for a bit of Ai panic, but this is the worst kind of desperate journalism.

    The facts as reported:

    • 1 day before opening the doors of their new online store OAi updated their policy to ban comfort-bots and bad-bots.
    • On opening day there are 7 Ai girlfriends available for purchase/download.

    The articles conclusion: Ai regulation is doomed to fail and the machines will wipe out humanity.

      Well, as we all know, AI girlfriend is the first step to AI Hitler.

      Your comment gave me an idea. These alarmist articles are so common that I bet writing them could be automated. We can get bots to write articles about the dangers of bots. I asked chatgpt to write one from the perspective of Southern Baptist

      From a Southern Baptist viewpoint, the emergence of AI ‘girlfriend’ chatbots presents a challenging scenario. This perspective, grounded in Scripture, values authentic human relationships as cornerstones of society, as reflected in passages like Genesis 2:18, where companionship is emphasized as a fundamental human need. These AI entities, simulating intimate relationships, are seen as diverging from the Biblical understanding of companionship and marriage, which are sacred and uniquely human connections. The Bible’s teachings on idolatry, such as in Exodus 20:4-5, also bring into question the ethics of replacing real interpersonal relationships with artificial constructs.

      Not bad for a first pass.

      Not that I’m really interested in one but what’s actually wrong with making an AI gf app?

        I’m not sure there’s anything wrong with it, that’s what the article reported on as though it were some sort of harbinger of doom… Felt like my smarmy retorts would be slightly less punchy if I had opened up a side discussion regarding appropriate uses for AI. I suppose part of my motivation was that it seemed incredibly innocent relatively speaking.

        Open AI claims to be in this to save humanity from Skynet, this seems like a fairly pathetic attempt keep their store from filling up with “disreputable” content before… what exactly I don’t know. The killer app for AI that would be magically devoid of controversy?

          Are people really wargaming this? Planning on making anti-skynets to defend humanity from skynets? I can’t decide if that is a massive waste of time or a vital use of it.

      If we get wiped out by AI girlfriends we deserve it. If the reason why a person never reproduced is solely because they had a chatbot they really should not reproduce.
