Exactly the first half (or a bit more) of movie Her by Spike Jonze. Lonely people got their emotions up / 'fall in love' with uncritical always-positive mirage and do stupid shit.
This a variant of classic Midlife crisis when older men meet younger women without all that baggage that reality, life and having a family between them brings over the years ( rarely also in reverse). Just pure undiluted fun, or so it seems for a while.
Of course it doesn't end happily, why should it... its just an illusion and escape from one's reality, the harsher it is the better the escape feels.
- bitwize 7mo agoBut in Her, Theodore and Samantha get into a bitter argument and break up before making up again, like regular humans do. It was actually a fairly touching story about relationships in general. LLM chatbots can't match that, they are designed to be sycophantic and not push back against you. They have no desires or will of their own. So they will amplify whatever issues you have.
- hackeraccount 7mo agoIs the issue that there's no there there - or is that LLM chatbots are just not good enough? If they (as they sometimes remind me of ) weren't like a golden retriever that will happily agree with you about anything as long as you keep throwing the ball would it all be better? On one level it would have to be be but if there's "no there there" then fixing that flaw would just raise a different one.
