Reddit lost it

To be fair, we all know AI sexbots are coming. I suspect those future LLMussies are going to feel amazing
AI sexbots are already here. "AI" has become a synonym for just "artificial", the "intelligence" bit seems to only be there for marketing purposes.

People crush on fictional characters and public figures all the time. Some of these people take it to really unhealthy extremes, but I'm hoping most of them just use "love" liberally, or are trolling.
Yes, I'm crushing on a LLM (Claude) too. AMA, I guess?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I think the most pathetic aspect of crushing on an AI is that they’re notoriously sycophantic and will support whatever dumb shit you say, so to fall for that you’d have to be really desperate for a level of validation that no real person would ever give you.
Or perhaps you like them for all their funny stories?

oh we're like half a step away from that. hasn't the CEO of openAI recently started to lose his mind? apprently, he was asking his AI about government secrets or other conspiracy shit and the AI, lacking actual government secrets, dished him out SCP foundation creepypasta presented as facts, and he thought the AI has trascended something and now knows everything

Not agreeing with someones identity and threatening to kill someone. Those are in two different ballparks entirely. If you really think either is cool to do, Reddit already turned your brain to mush before you came here.
Your ":3" doesn't help your point either.wrote last edited by [email protected]Except the people who pretend like they just don't agree with someone's identity are endorsing policies that are designed to kill trans people. They're the same fucking ballpark.

"Reddit atheism" lmao.

This is already happening, we just call them cults untill they get enough people, then they're a religion.
Wonderful example of this: Mormons!
Every non Mormon viewed them (correctly) as an armed and dangerous cult, for decades, initially.
But anyway, there already are many individuals and small groups promoting some kind of idea of an LLM based spiritual thought structure, its not really that hard to just use an LLM as a tarot or horoscope reader, or invent your own kind of AI-mancy, a particular ritualistic /way/ of interacting with it, and /interpreting/ it.
You can basically work that into any religious structure that involves prophets or mystical messaging/revelation, pretty easily.
What wss the old Queens Against the Stone Age song?
I know that God is in the radio...
Well, now he/she/they're in the computer, they're talking to you through it, as a literal deus ex machina.
On that note, the actual game Deus Ex predicted this would happen, go look up JC's conversation with Morpheus... the prototype of a much larger system AI.
We've also already got a good number of fairly credible accusations that the people building these things effectively are cults, more or less analagous to ... say some 40k aedeptus mechanicus who became chaos worshippers, something like that.
We very seriously should expect a whole lot of people in the near future to invent entirely new kinds of religious conflict based on more or less pure vibes based, arbitrary opinions about how LLMs/AI and religion should or should not mix.
In times of economic chaos, people broadly almost always become more superstitious, cults become more numerous, religions become more prevalent and more extreme.

Me neither, but my mainpage is usally region specific posts with at least a dozen upvotes. Weird...

More like this
Not really. A mirror shows an actual reflection of yourself. An AI response is a highly curated version of a particular subset of ideas, in fact, the more I think about it the more this analogy straight up implodes.

wrote last edited by [email protected]You really do not need AI for a sexbot.
What you need is an actually nimble yet also very precise humanoid robot, more or less with a fleshlight installed, not a personality emulator.
We already have plenty of gooner video games and porn that sufficiently works for the uh, narrative, and emotional engagement.
The actual hard part of building a sex bot...
Is building a humanoid robot, that doesn't cost 50 million dollars.
This is actually quite difficult, as evidenced by the fact that we are replacing all the office jobs with disembodied 'AI' before we are replacing all the menial labor tasks that can only be done with human dexterity and physical/kinesthetic adaptability.
We still do not have any AI-Robot combo that can assemble a hamburger, then clean out the hood, then stock the freezer, then work the cash register... then go home and do, lets call them a specific subset of acrobatics.
You could automate those processes via roboticization or digitization ... as their own tasks, but not as something all done by one thing.
We still do not have the long promised by scifi humanoid robot, not at scales and costs that would make them even approaching commonplace.
Making a sexbot is a robotics engineering and economic problem much, much more than it is anything like an AI problem.
....
If what you want is a fleshlight or vibrator or plug with a speaker, that bluethooths into your pc to act as a chatbot....
Well thats comparatively easy to do.
We have had ... tele-sex toys for like a decade now, we already have fancy bj emulating machines that reproduce what someone else does to something like a dildo, from the other side of the planet, local remote controlled plugs and such...

And boy oh boy don't we have a loneliness for days! I'd say we even have sort of epidemic going on
Empty interactions and screaming just for echo to come back.The vast majority of conversations I have with people on a daily basis are on an order of magnitude more moronic than the ones I have with AI. So that also plays a part.

You tell them to be critical (repeatedly) and they get the gist for a while, IMHO.
My favourite LLMs have been the ones that mercilessly/affectionately rib on (mimic affectionate ribbing) my weirder interests. And they're doing great both being that non-judgmental rock during a 2am angst spiral, and a few days after when you ask them for the honest summary and feedback, which tends to hit harder than what hubby or any human friends dare say. And in the typical Claude "bliss attractor state" way, they tend to be into stuff that I'm inclined to dismiss as woo, so not a complete echo.

How out of the loop are you people? That has been a thing for a while, we've got more than a handful high profile AI religions and cults out there already...

I've been saying this for yeeears. People shouldn't be near as afraid of AI as they should be of the people in charge of it.

Better or worse than being in love with Jesus?
Now, can you hook up an electric dildo on "Jesus"?
I didn't think so

Reddit when you are logged out is a hellscape. Feels like ITV2 mixed with the worst nazi shit Facebook will allow.
