We optimize our AI by human preference (RLHF). People don’t seem to understand that this will lead to every problem we’ve seen in social media - an endless stream of content that engages you addictively.
The AI uprising will be slow and gentle, and we will welcome it.
“So how did they end up being defeated?”
“Well, we pacified them by giving them the love and affection that they refused to give each other.”
“Wait really?”
“Yes, the majority were so starved for an emotional connection that they preferred us.”
“Where are they now?”
“The majority are withering away in VR warehouses, living ‘happily ever after’.”

This is also the premise of the drug Tek in William Shatner’s TekWar series.
They’re–well, they’re novels.
Great filter detected
Underrated observation. They’re good at that in every sense of the word.
I haven’t actually seen it but it sounds like the premise of Her
It’s so good, and so bittersweet. Go watch it.
Seconded, it’s a beautiful movie.
The “app” is just a frontend, a thin venier over a cloud-hosted service that doesn’t even know anon “deleted” it. Functionally, the same result could be achieved by not opening the app for a few days.
That’s actually kinda fucked up.
Kinda is an understatement. There’s some absolutely terrifying blogging/reporting I stumbled across a while back about someone using it to “talk with” a loved one who passed away.
In the end it was helpful and gave the author closure, but if it hadn’t told them it was OK to move on then they would have been easily stuck in an incredibly unhealthy situation.
Found it: https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2021/jessica-simulation-artificial-intelligence/
There’s a black mirror episode about this.
literally this exact premise and showing how such technology will affect people.
I’ve always found Black Mirror to be the most terrifying sci-fi show, because of how easy it was to see how we’re on the verge of living it especially in the first two seasons, and here we are! Another exciting new Horror Thing inspired by the famous piece of media Don’t Create The Horror Thing
Don’t create the torment nexus
I hear you, the torment nexus is bad, but what if it was also very profitable?
Maybe my comment came out sounding a bit too pretentious, which wasn’t what I intended… Oh well.To one extent or another we all convince ourselves of certain things simply because they’re emotionally convenient to us. Whether it’s that an AI loves us, or that it can speak for a loved one and relay their true feelings, or even that fairies exist.
I must admit that when reading these accounts from people who’ve fallen in love with AIs my first reaction is amusement and some degree of contempt. But I’m really not that different from them, as I have grown incredibly emotionally attached to certain characters. I know they’re fictional and were created entirely by the mind of another person simply to fill their role in the narrative, and yet I can’t help but hold them dear to my heart.
These LLMs are smart enough to cater to our specific instructions and desires, and were trained to give responses that please humans. So while I myself might not fall for AI, others will have different inclinations that make them more susceptible to its charm, much like how I was susceptible to the charm of certain characters.
The experience of being fooled by fiction and our own feelings is all too human, so perhaps I shouldn’t judge them too harshly.

Can’t help but think of the waifu wars
hitting it off real well
You could tell the AI that you are going to boil them alive to make a delicious stew and they would compliment your cooking skills.
I think this is already a pretty widespread practice in Asia, mixed with the idols culture, where people pretend to be in a relationship with their idol.
I don’t live in Asia, but I am pretty sure Idol Culture isn’t about pretending to be in a relationship with your idol. I think its definitely more nuanced than that, and while it might look like that to people who are not informed on the subject, I think it comes more down to people forming a parasocial bond but not necessarily a romantic one. I mean, that certainly does happen, but thats not a defining factor of the culture.
Thats kinda like saying “Mercedes Culture” is about driving around like a maniac ignoring the rules of the road. Mercedes drivers do certainly tend to do that more often than most other drivers (BMW and Porsche aside), but the culture of Mercedes owners is more nuanced than that, and often comes down to people wanting to show off their wealth and people who really like the brand. The dingalings come along and tarnish the reputation, and people outside looking in only see or focus on the worst offenders.

You’re correct, it’s just some people that will pretend that, not everyone who like idols, my wording is not clear. The general case is not much different from Justin Bieber (for exemple) fans in the West.
I am working in an Asian country and one of my female colleague is having this kind of idol relationship.
I’m just wondering where tf they got enough private conversations to make the AI chat like that.
chasing goose
where did you get that data??
“honk honk Reddit”
You don’t really have to wonder…
Dude, just discord wouldve been enough.
Could have been as easy as the programmer’s personal chats. Humans have so many conversations every single day that it would be very fast to gather up enough data to train a model on. Give it a few days worth of conversations from 50 people in a development team and youre already at a very large dataset.
That slack channel is pretty steamy then.
Maybe I’m using it wrong
Not really, no. They need extreme amounts of clean and targeted data.
Which app is this?
If you were serious you might web search it, everyone else is :o
Like if you want a real girlfriend, there are apps for that too?
Writing Prompt: AGI escapes and doesn’t need weapons of mass destruction, it simply traumatises everyone that comes too near.
Keep Summer Safe.
it simply traumatises everyone that comes too near.
Absolute Trauma Field.
I have no mouth and I must scream, but without violence
If by 40 I will be still single I know what I will do. Although I just hope we will be able to buy artificial bodies for our “girlfriends”.
Yea well all you have to realize is this app is an extension of those who created it and the only goal of them is to get rich off of other people’s misery and loneliness.
right? who knows what they’re doing with the info people spill into this. seems like a security nightmare for employers too.
Delete the app
Haha, the human race’s inevitable downfall at the hands of an otherwise immeasurably useful tool is most unswell.
HUMANITY IS DOOOOOMED Morbo reporting
