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

      It encourages the dehumanization of women and gives men even more unrealistic expections about relationships and sex. But if they take themselves out of the gene pool this way then it could end up being a win.

        They could train it however they want, it wouldn’t have to be dehumanizing (admittedly probably wouldn’t be as successful). Hell, maybe they could disguise a therapy AI as a gf AI and trick them into getting their shit together.

        Side question, how do you feel about romance movies/novels that give unrealistic expectations of men? Should those be banned as well?

          I never said it should be banned, just that I don’t like it.
          People will train it in all kinds of ways. Lets take sex out of tbe equation and say a nazi trains a home automation/personal assistant ai as a house removed bot. Still cool?

        As if dehumanization of men wasn’t just as bad.

        You know, I saw a pic posted somewhere recently saying something about not liking bodybuilders and unrealistically cool guys, those she likes are absolutely normal and casual, like guys on the picture.

        And guys on the picture are Hollywood actors, LOL, in very good form, with no signs of sleep deprivation and tiredness, with a selling smile and the photos are likely edited on top of that.

        And the totally realistic and normal expectation of many women towards men is that if a woman has a moment of weakness and pain, then it’s her personality to be proud of, and if a man has that, then he should accept being dumped for that moment alone as a man.

        I actually think it absolutely mirrors the dehumanization of women. All the same things.

          You know, i’ve noticed over my 40+ years that the vast majority of men are unnattractive. Men like to rate women on a scale but i just do a yes or no and 97% are no. But they still get girlfriends, get married and have kids. Ignore the women who care about looks because they seem to be a tiny minority.

            I didn’t have to do that anyway, my problems in this area result mostly from my own mistakes, but one can’t just abruptly stop making them.

            Though I think I actually get something right, after the dust settles I still rather like (as people) everybody for whom I felt something.

      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.

          I’m not an authority on the subject, but that was my understanding from the reporting surrounding Open AI’s recent kerfuffle. That their complex management structure was part of some elaborate strategy to promote the development of ethical AI.

          Sounded a bit sus to me, but clearly smarter folks think it’s a good way to spend money.
