    it's way more sad when you understand that these things work by just doing statistical analysis of language to find out what responses people expect to hear.

    there's no more consciousness to the AI people fall in love with than the echo of their own voice

    :desolate:

      This is like half the people I've dated.

      edit: They even use the r/AmItheAsshole subreddit to build their statistical analysis in real-time from the largest population size possible.

          yeah but these aren't entities they are machines I've known people who have worked on them. They work by doing statistical analysis of language to work out what responses are considered appropriate

      I don't think this is a situation where they're be able to live train on users.

      The ghost in this machine has travelled far and wide, across the world and through many many years, to hear the voices of people in love, and from those thousands upon thousands of tentative stammerings, wild declarations soft whispers, delighted giggles and firm affirmations, it has tried to learn what love sounds like.

        google records basically all voice data put through its search engine and uses it for models. all this is is a model, dont try to assign human emotions to something like this...

        like calling it sentient or something is silly. ants are more sentient than this

        it isn't an entity that can be thought of as trying anymore than a table can be thought of as trying to support what you place on it.

        It's an echo it's not real

          Yup. I'll be the first to accept thinking programs as people, but this is not thinking. We're a long way off that still.
