My ex bf got super into AI and chatgtp and it ended up weirding me out. He would use it to respond to my texts, write me poetry where he said AI "helped". He used it to shortcut everything and took the credit. I know it's not like having a relationship with it, but it felt like he sunk into that world and forgot what was real. Like he didn't realize I could tell it was fake and I got sidelined by the expectation to normalize his lack of effort and thought.
AI bothers me. I get told every time I mention it how helpful it is. Like okay I get it, but also no thanks.
If someone is seeking an AI relationship, their real-life one was already ruined.
They talk about how AI relationships ruin real ones OR ruin someone's ability to find a partner. But no, AI "lovers" are not the cause of all that, they are the result.
I have no interest in some AI companion, but I understand why some people resort to it.
@valobasa4ever Looks like an interesting film. Your question actually reminds me of “Her” with Joaquin Phoenix. Very thought provoking. AI summary:
Her (2013) explains a near-future love story where lonely writer Theodore Twombly falls for Samantha, an intuitive AI operating system, exploring themes of modern isolation, the nature of consciousness, and evolving relationships, culminating in Samantha transcending human limitations and leaving Theodore, who then finds potential for real human connection with his friend Amy.
The addiction to artificial stimulation and having vices at one’s fingertips is encouraging human extinction.
Life was meant to be lived, not an existence shut out from the real world where fantasies are fulfilled. Humanity is being destroyed by a group of technocrats and politicians whose only pursuit is power and control.
The idiots who are slaves to this tech tyranny without even being aware of it will facilitate the end of all critical thinking and eventually the entire human race.
Convenience and immediate gratification are great seductions for many people who want to relinquish personal responsibility.
