Bro got married to ChatGPT ☠️☠️

I can't even make fun of these dudes because I know that everybody is experiencing the same alienation and loneliness in capitalism. It's a systemic issue which means that it can only be solved by systemic action. But there is no systemic action on the horizon so everybody is dealing with it however they can. Anyway, check out r/replika if you feel like your life is spiraling out of control

    There's no way this can be healthy right? Isn't it just a yes man? Does an AI even understand consent?

      I think this is super unhealthy partly because it sets unrealistic expectations for real partners and relationships. The AI girlfriend is always 100% available, never criticizes you, never says anything bad, and so on. You can be a dirtbag but she will always treat you like you're the best person in the world. Imagine trying to date a real person after 2 years of being married to a LLM that is designed to be the perfect partner

        I kinda came to the same conclusions as well. Even if you call it training wheels for a real relationship all it's doing is setting up unrealistic expectations for the next relationship if there is one.

      Does an AI even understand consent?

      There's nothing to understand anything. It's an algorithm choosing words based on weighted probabilities. There's no internal process, no perception, no awareness of what words it's producing, no meaning. Like, whatever other problems are happening here, you can't abuse the chat GPT algorithm because it's just a math problem.
