The movie Her has just become reality

It’s getting closer. A few years ago the old Replika AI was already quite good as a romantic partner, especially when you started your messages with a * character to force OpenAI GPT-3 answers. You could do sexting that OpenAI will never let you have nowadays with ChatGPT.

  Why does OpenAI think that sexting is a bad thing? Why is AI safety all about not saying things that are disturbing or offensive, rather than not saying things that are false or unaligned?

    sama recently said they want to allow NSWF stuff for personal use but need to resolve a few issues around safety, etc. OpenAI is probably not against sexting philosophically.

I was surprised that the voice is a ripoff of the AI voice in that movie (Scarlett Johansson) too

  I am suspicious that they licensed Scarlet's voice for that voice model (Sky IIRC)

People realize where we're headed right? Entire human lives in front of a screen. Your online entertainment, your online job, your online friends, your online "relationship". Wake up, 12 hours screentime, eat food, go to bed. Depression and drug overdoses currently at sky high levels. Shocker.

  If i can program with just my voice, there is no reason to not be in nature 10 hours a day minimum. My grandparent even slept outside as long as it was daytime. Daytime is always a time to be outside, surrounded by many plants and stuff. It is a shame we have to be productive in some way, and most of production happens inside walls.

    You're already twice as productive as your parents which were twice as productive as their parents. We should ask where the money went instead of thinking about telepathically coding from the woods

      When it comes to the economy, some monkey business is going on, but i think you can be more optimistic about the capabilities technology like that unlocks for everyone on the planet. Being able to control machines just with our voice, we can instruct robots to bake food for us. Or lay bricks on a straight line and make a house. Or write code, genetically modify organisms and make nutritionally dense food to become 1000x smarter or stronger. There has to be some upsides, even though for the moment the situation with governments, banks, big corporations, military companies etc is not as bright as one would hope to be.

  Headed? We're there. Have been there. This just adds non-human sentient agents to the drama.

It's been a reality in Russia since 2017. > The voice of "Alice" was dubbing actress Tatiana Shitova, who voiced most of Scarlett Johansson's characters and the voice of OS1, who called herself "Samantha", in the Russian dubbing of Spike Jonze's "Her". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_(virtual_assistant) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_(virtual_assistant)
