- skeuomorphism 3y agoThe article seems lacking, and doesn't give much background on how we got to where the title came from. A shame, really. Im sure there're better articles out there

- ronsor 3y agoThis headline is sufficiently absurd that I would not have believed this would be a thing ten years ago. That said, this is a perfect opportunity to talk about the ethics of training manipulative AI models to extract money from desperate, lonely customers... Err, I mean offering AI girlfriend services.

- lazystar 3y agokinda the same thing that phone sex businesses have been doing for decades, no?
- ronsor 3y agoI think this is significantly more manipulative.
- lazystar 3y agotrue. i guess its similar to comparing skin mags from the 60's-90's, to the engagement algorithms and UI designs used by pr0n sites after 2020. theres going to be a "survival of the fittest" shift - folks that are able to avoid these new-age adult relations exploitation practices will have a higher chance of reproducing.

- quickthrower2 3y agoWeird dystopia you are wishing for there
- DonHopkins 3y agoIt's certainly a big step up from the dystopia we're living in now. You don't actually think those radicalized GamerGate/MAGA incels should inflict themselves on real live women do you??! Gross. Obviously you don't have "showdead: yes" or you'd know how common and pathetic they were. They even openly admit in public that they'd land in jail if they had to deal with real women. It's cheap simple practical effective rape prevention. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38329762 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38329762 >Throwfi44 2 hours ago [flagged] [dead] | parent | prev | next [–] >Like "real" girlfriends are not manipulative and do not extract money. AI chatbots are way cheaper and will not land you in a jail. Also far less toxic and without mental health issues! Preventing them from reproducing by giving them AI girlfriends is significantly more humane and less homicidal than Trump's wildly successful policy of killing them off them by convincing them to inject bleach, stick ultraviolet flashlights up their ass, eat horse dewormer pills, attend superspreading rallies, and not get vaccinated, wear masks, or self isolate. He killed off a hell of a lot more of his followers than he built miles of wall.

- DavidSJ 3y agoThat’s always a tough way for a relationship to end.
- qup 3y agoWe have a big enough sample size now to draw conclusions.

- piyh 3y agoThis is why I self host my girlfriend, instead of subscribing in a GaaS model. If you can't touch the server rack and feel the heat, all you're doing is talking to somebody else's AI girlfriend.

- tinrab 3y agoThat's an amazing headline.

- hilux 3y agoI assumed that the headline was an example of nonsense text generated by ChatGPT (to what end?) - turns out that would have been better than the truth.
- kordlessagain 3y agoI edited it from the original, and didn't use generative AI to do it (other than my own built in version). :)
- zuminator 3y agoWhat I was imagining didn't make any sense, but I'm still rather disappointed that this isn't a story about an AI girlfriend showing up at the precinct to bail the CEO out.

- up2isomorphism 3y agoIf this news appeared 10 years ago, it would be certainly perceived as written by a crazy guy. But it is true today.
