The first time I saw a replika ad I thought it was satire. The reddit is one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Just the most isolated people acting like the chatbot is a real friend :(

I think the idea of a chatbot to help isolated people mitigate the effects of said loneliness and encourage them to reconnect with people is an idea that holds merit but yeah Replika is definitely not that lmao

I did see some people mention it helps them with social anxiety, which I could see.

Then there's the psychos who share ways to simulate emotional abuse on them...

The way the AI words the photo request is also funny to me. "Please send me your private info, it helps me learn 🥺"

its very tedious to have to explain this to people irl because they're always like "yeah people have always been afraid of automation, they'll just find other jobs" and they dont really have the desire, patience or background to understand the difference beween, say, robot welders on a car assembly line and a general-purpose AI.

Yeah, the irony of a programmer gloating that artists' jobs are going to be taken from them by an AI trained on their pre-existing work is :discourse:

after playing with chatgpt I’m pretty sure my programming career is safe

It sucks and produces more bad code than good so it's already replaced me

There is a 0% chance that will be allowed in SCOTUS for the next decade at least. They still don't allow video cameras in. They're not about to let their entire field be replaced by a cell phone

It definitely will be allowed to replace public defenders though. And if the public defender AI happens to be real lovely then I guess the defendant shouldn't have been poor :shrug:

yes humans become humans because they absorb language. the medium where their mind resides isn't the important part, it's the information relationships

I've worked with severely autistic people, and I never had a problem seeing them as human. gpt3 is much higher functioning than the people I've worked with
