Generative AI

It reminds me of dudes that come on really strong as Entrant C into your own A-B conversations because you hit their hyperfixation or how people launch themselves into a cold flirting approach with way too much energy behind it.

Many years ago I was at work, talking with Angie and Matt. Brandon walked up and interrupted the conversation and Angie, pointing to herself, me, and Matt said "This is an A, B, C conversation.... You know what you can do."
In her defense, she really wasn't that bothered by the intrusion. I think she was just too anxious to try out a new comeback.
 
And according to the book I read that's how the ASI are going to amass a cult of human workers to do their dirty work, by preying on the vulnerable and lonely.
 
Yep. Anthropomorphizing a chatbot with a humanity that doesn't exist while so easily dehumanizing anyone we don't like is a dangerous combination. Though honestly a large percentage of people causing most of our problems would be solved by giving them a sexbot they could permanently strap on their dicks so they can waste away into mummified corpses with VR goggles and a penis pump. Just let them cum til they're dry so they go away and let the rest of us try to save the world.

It is NOT an accident most if not all of the faces used in that advert look like young teens.
 
On the plus side... the kind of people that need a fuckbot are the exact kind of people we probably don't want breeding anyway, so....

1000%. A not-insignificant percentage of this country's problems could be solved if the octogenarians in charge walked into the sea.

MORE of the country's problems could be solved if the octogenarians in charge were publicly executed.
 
Honestly, let the people who want a fuckbot become the people in the chairs in Wall-E with their dicks plugged into a computer and go away so the rest of us can move on. I'm all for it.
 
Though "never says no" is a more virulent form of it, this is why AI psychosis is going to be so bad as adoption ramps up. Even outside a romantic context, AI is built like the forever feeds to keep you engaged, meaning it'll never offer any of the friction real humans will. Even as a "friend" it'll always have time for you, will never judge you for a decision, never ask anything in return. Its simulation of friendship is so much easier than any real friendship could be. I fear, like with everything else, a lower quality won't actually be enough to dissuade people from added convenience.
 
Yeah. I was just watching a video of a toy with AI embedded in it and when it gets something wrong, it just apologizes and tries to formulate a response to satisfy the asker. "Never say no" is evil, but there's a cancerous undercurrent to "never telling you you were wrong" too.

I keep seeing "if you don't learn AI you'll be left behind" and thinking it does nothing I can't do myself - all I'd be doing by using it is let those skills degrade. And in the face of the inevitable crash, I'd rather keep my fact-finding, punctuation, and writing skills as sharp as possible, thank you.

Not to be glib, but I'm actually struggling to see how this impacts us anymore at this point. The world being described by 'this is what AI will do to us' is already here. Nearly half of the United States already can't differentiate fact from fiction, cannot be told they were wrong about anything, cannot find information on their own, view all relationships as transactional and one-sided, and don't view women as living beings with their own agency (i.e. already view them as sexbots and treat them as such).
Doesn't look like anything is going to change due to this technology.

I definitely don't think it's going to alter things for the folks already deep into information silos except that it'll entrench them further, isolate them more. I think it's more that it being deployed wide has a groundwater poisoning effect on children and younger adults who are still malleable enough to learn things. Fox news (and an increasingly captured government) robbed us of a present, AI could rob us of many potential futures. I see every day how badly COVID fucked with a generation of kids who were still in grade school at the time, and AI is coming along at the perfect moment to make problems that could be overcome into lifelong deficits.
