Is this... appealing to anyone? Like, I'm not sure I've ever found myself thinking "wouldn't it be great if I could talk dirty with a robot".

- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y agoSearch "ai girlfriend app" for examples. They just want that market.
- rsynnott 1y agoThat's got to be a _tiny_ market, tho.
- tovej 1y agoThe loneliness epidemic is real. A society focused on efficiency and business is alienating a lot of people.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y agoI am not so sure. Even if that market is small currently, the first-to-market (for the "girlfriend" apps) weren't able to advertise directly to ChatGPT's current user base (perhaps more accurately, they didn't do so effectively). Adding some "notifications" or subtler nudges to ChatGPT's interface is something that only OpenAI can do, and is likely to change user behavior.
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoI think you grossly underestimate it. Character.ai is pretty popular, Facebook is pushing social chatbots, etc. Onlyfans and explicit streaming services are a multi-billion industry, not just because of the sexual material but for the human contact that some people get from it.

- kjs3 1y agoWell certainly not you. But if you looked around the room and could read minds...
- chubbyFIREthrwy 1y agoYes? I had ChatGPT generate erotic literature for me about fantasy scenarios, but it oddly refused to depict actual sex during them, because they involved a workplace, and it didn't like the "problematic power imbalances". I was like, really? That's where (and why) you draw the line?
