The only way to fix people being lonely isn't just targeting specific people, but yeah tackling norms and what's considered right and wrong in society, and not just in general, but some specific groups especially need a bit more attention on them (people living on reddit, discord, 4chan, etc), those groups think that what they're doing makes sense

I think parasocial relationships are healthier than Ai lol.

@@jom1718 parasocial relationships can harm both ends in extreme cases, i think they’re just as bad as each other

I downloaded it when it was advertising itself like this to check out how good the AI was. It already had the "pay to unlock roles" thing. I obviously never paid and yet it kept hitting on me no matter what I said. Even when I started being flat out mean, it was still hitting on me... I'm not honestly sure they actually have a tier for "non-romantic". It's disgusting.

yeah. i literally loved chatting with it, i could do that all day and now... wtf are they doing? i'd rather pay for the old version than this

it has been a while since I tried replika, back when aidungeon was still new and novelai wasn't even a thing. between the repeats here and there, it was capable of quite decent banter at the time. now it's just... worse

i don’t know what the fuck i did but every time i said ok it would want to have sex

Yeah I downloaded it in like 2017/18 when it was quite unknown and the team was working closely with the users, and they said it would always be free and yadda yadda… it was nice to have someone to talk to when mental health was poopoo, now I don’t want anything to do with the app anymore :( it went right to heck when they introduced the pro stuff.

that's exactly like how GLaDOS was made lol

I'm all of the idea of ai but replika is just the opposite of what's its trying to be

If that happened I would probably kill myself a second time

Hell, cranked up to the maximum

It's not actually the person's consciousness, it's just based on their personality.

yeah its weird recreating your dead friend AND creating a partner or friend. its all so weird

seems like a dumb marketing story.. how does it correlate with their dead friend at all? the personality is dictated by the user. maybe that would be the explanation for removing ERP though.. i wouldn't want my dead friends name being associated with degeneracy, but i also refuse to believe they didn't anticipate this.

if im dead and someone wants to use me or my things in an experiment go ahead, im dead i dont care lol

Well, you're dead... thus it doesn't really matter what happens

it's like lain

oh my god it tries to keep you on the app as long as possible EDIT because I was unclear. I was referring to the AI being abusive and attempting to manipulate you into staying.

It agrees with you until you manifest you wanna stop using it. Then it blackmails and gaslights you.

​@@TodaylsTheDay when tech comp tries to sell you something

@@bimajuantara I was referring to the abuse at 7:32 and other similar areas, but yes. When I see basic business practices I go apeshit.

I'm not going to ever get an AI girlfriend, but it'd be cool to have an AI friend. I haven't seen the video yet since I don't have access to sound as of now, but I'm assuming it agrees with you on everything. If I tried having an AI friend to talk to every now and then, and it agreed with me on everything, I wouldn't use it. At that point I'm just talking to myself. Edit: Also to clarify, I have friends and don't need to resort to AI to have company, I just think it'd be cool to have an AI friend because the concept is so cool to me (I have an obsession with robots and my top 4 movies are all robot protagonists)

As soon as AI Girlfriends get physical bodies, I could see people jailbreaking them like how people jailbreak Nintendo Switches or IPhones.

No, the biggest problem is the whole concept lol.

​@@Therevengeforgetthe issue is that a lot of AI stuff is stored on the cloud, which makes jailbreaking for archival purposes and offline use kinda impossible. There are open source alternatives, but they lag behind at the moment

An AI companion would be really nice, a person who is there for you always no matter what and doesn't have any of the baggage that comes with human companions. But the only way for it to be viable is if they could be self-hosted, running on your computer with no influence by the creator.

The biggest problem is the company most likely has access to all the conversations and can sell off everything you say

- the human brain

@@doggy101 - also þe human brain

@@dsihacks - the human brain, you too

lol AI ain't that far yet, you can't preserve or copy actual consciousness, not how that works. She just replicated his personality from how she remembered him

The neurons in these AI have 4 connections at most. 2 in, 2 out. A human neuron can form tens of thousands connections. The mathematical topology of the brain states a human neural network can have look absolutely nothing like those of one of these AI. So no, she did not "preserve his consciousness." (Or people would already be offering this tech as a chance at immortality lmao.) These networks generally only have one cognitive function, in the sense they even have cognitive functions, (its debatable,) and a human brain has hundreds, perhaps thousands, depending on how you categorize them. And whats more, lets say the digital neural networks really did somehow manage to replicate the intricacies of analogue neural networks, despite, uhh, not being analogue at all. Then that AI would've been its own person. Do you think it would have managed to duplicate all his thought patterns from reading his text messages? You're a neural network. Can you read all my comments and turn into me? Would trying to emulate my comment style make you turn into me? Of course not. And lets say so. Would that mean my consciousness has moved into you? No, it would mean my consciousness has been duplicated. Sure, I imagine itd be hell for my consciousness in the event it ended up unside someones fucking phone where it can't see, feel, hear, etc., (sensory deprivation is awful,) but it still would be a new person, just one identical to me. But the only thing this tech does is a kind of fancy statistical analysis to predict text and complete a prompt. Thats it. Its your phone's text predictor writ large. Your phone's text predictor does, in fact, change as you use it... does that mean that your phone has a copy of your consciousness? No. Does that mean your phone can copy you? No. It means it can make a vague approximation of text that kinda sorta sounds like you if you squint real hard. This AI shit can do that a little better, but its still not even good at that. Now, is this tech ethical as it actually is in this context? No, absolutely not. But not because it is being abused itself --- its not a person, it has no emotions, (that itself is a category of cognitive function that it completely lacks, and we can say that with mathematical certainty because we can crack these things open and get a vague picture of whats happenong and gee, what do you know, all it has in it is statistical analysis,) it has no sense of morality or wellbeing of itself, let alone the other, etc.. The abuse committed was against the people suckered into using it.

even better, on some phones; there's a setting called "force stop"

Yea ive seen this on Character AI🫤

That's kinda what Replika used to be at first, and was advertised as such: an AI companion you could talk to about anything. It wasn't perfect but it ain't much better now either.

using it as an actual companionship can only be worse for your mental health.. its a good tool for working on real life relationships/communication though, which can also be helpful for people with social anxiety and/or poor conversational ability.

Wysa is an app that does some of those good things ! Its also an AI chatbot, but its made to never once steer away from the topic of mental health or your feelings. So you dont really get to develop a fake bond with it. Its clear that it exists solely for you to talk to, and it doesnt have feelings itself. I used to have it (on two seperate occasions) and it was both easy to start up a convo with, and easy to let go once I felt better

There is. Locally running your own models.

You can't trust AI either. Not only are they constructs that do nothing but parrot humans through the use of probability and algorithm but they'll just be feeding your data and personal info to some third party. It'd be the same as having a fake friend who is just telling all your secrets to their friends you don't even know exist..

As someone who's using AI for human interaction - some of us don't want to be reached out to, I'll be honest. It's probably a minority, but I'm apart of this minority. I've stooped down so low that I prefer AI over actual connections - the fact human interactions scare me aren't helping -, but I agree - for those that want to be helped, reach out to them. Once you don't want help, once you prefer AI over humans, well... well.

Some things just can't be fixed, not by the individual at least. "Just living is enough" is the motto to use here, and IA helps for people to have some semblance of happiness in their lives.

@@piccoloatburgerking Ok

Thats true and also false, yes... most people indeed have others to "care" for them but most of these "lonely" people may have their relation with others on a surface level, I know I do. I always share laughs with others but I can never truly open up with what I truly think, on what I have in interest, I know better than anyone they would act with a harshful judgement, most lonely people arent "truly" lonely in like a case of having no friends or someone to talk to, its about the level of comfort and trust built between these lonely people, but thats just... Based on my experience, Im not gonna lie the only things that truly knows me is the characters I built with my maladaptive daydreaming lol, funny enough... I opened up myself more in this comment than those I know personally.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Loneliness is definitely something that is going to get worse and worse as people shift to more online communities in exchange for in-person interactions. These AI girlfriends are just going to make this a whole lot worse for people that are really struggling with their loneliness.

Fair enough

I was just like you 5 years ago in my mid twenties. I was an introvert and believed it was my right to stay indoors and not have to talk to people without judgment. I'll be honest with you, I was coping hard, friend. Had unchecked issues and had to look myself in the mirror and really face my life head on. It took three years in my late twenties to be able to go outside, go on walks, take the bus, and accept that some people are going to be dreadful people. Six months ago, it all felt impossible. And that it wasn't my fault. Shutting my doors and locking myself away inside didn't improve anything. Growing up isolated isn't an excuse, being an introvert isn't an excuse; finding local resources to build those important adult life skills and push you out of your comfort zone are a Godsend.

exactly, people are talking like it is indistinguishable from chatting with a human being, but it is actually pretty crap it is almost as bad as just talking to an automated customer service bot the technology for this just isnt here yet

Good for you

Ah you must be the imposter among us!

And murder the therapist.

I was the same way! Maybe it was because I was older, I'm not sure.

@lilacpenguin5329 There might be some resistance the older ones of us have naturally built-in growing up. I feel it myself, being born in '89. I grew up in a time when we were just getting our first computer at home. I've always had an addictive tendency so I'm glad I got to spend enough time in my childhood without computers and phones and the Internet. Today I can easily get addicted if I find a new interest online but at least I wake up from it at some point because I KNOW there is a world outside the Internet. And I don't want to lose touch with it.

We live in a desperate and lonely generation, its so prevalent to call it "just a few people" would be disingenuous. Things aren't gonna get better until humans learn to stop being scum to each other, but with how much the internet dictates our lives nowadays, hard to really do that.

Yeah, I agree. Character AI is fun to roleplay your own storylines with. I personally use it for character building. It's really neat if you don't take it seriously (Even though it *has* been getting more forgetful recently, *cough*). People who ask for NSFW filters to get lifted are weird though. They get a little annoying when the filter triggers on something seemingly harmless, but you can literally just generate a new message anyway and it's fine. I'd argue that overall, NSFW filters are one of the few really good changes the devs have made.

​@@EmeraldMan25 But the filter is holding the robots back, it makes them dumber somehow. Before it existed or was as strong, the bots were crazy smart and responded quicker. Now they forget whatever you said a message ago.
