I feel incredible empathy for the people who have had AI companions taken away from them. I don't judge (nor should any of you) and it seems heartless and cruel for the company to have done this.
I hope some folks double-down on open source implementations of this and get the community back the intimacy and companionship they need. Humans are creatures evolved to seek intimacy and connection, and for whatever and varied reasons, some people just can't find it in the real world. If a virtual companion helped people feel that connection we all so very much want, then so be it.
I hope this works out for everyone.
- wing-_-nuts 3y agoEven if you ignore this use case, I can totally see the demand for a private LLM that doesn't expose your deepest secrets to a corporate or government overlord. Maybe the current gpt isn't good enough to be a therapist but who's to say where we are in a decade, and giving outside entities access to such sensitive info is ripe for exploitation
- mattrick 3y agoAt some point (maybe that point is now), I'm sure we'll see the right combination of hardware and software performance where it'll be trivial for anyone to run advanced AI models on their own devices so it's not controlled by a handful of companies. One thing I'm definitely interested in is when games begin to use these models to generate dialogue to make each player's experience unique.
