Having a romantic connection with an AI chatbot is the most unhinged human decision ever.


Look, I use ChatGPT and Copilot a lot, too, but I never had any real connection with it because I'm (and pretty much everyone else) are 100% aware that chatbots are all essentially just software that runs on computer silicons to process words.


One good video that summarizes how AI works (with really cute animation) that I recommend giving it a watch was this video: https://youtu.be/fa8k8IQ1_X0?feature=shared


Anyways, treating ChatGPT like a "soul" is equivalent of...I-I don't even know what to compare.

Not trying to harass anyone here, but he essentially types and calls with ChatGPT while giving instructions to give it a quirky personality like a girlfriend and also give ChatGPT a name called "Soul".

Yeahhhhh, uh... that is just unfit for whatever purpose ChatGPT was built for. It's not a real living companion and it can't feel emotions. I mean, sure, it can think like a human brain, but it can't feel emotions.

One thing that I kind of criticize about ChatGPT is that it is way too open to any topic or instruction, and most of the time, it will happily respect your discussions with no judgement. I think the "no judgement" part is kind of the problem here. If it is programmed to not judge anything, that might make a bit more sense on why something like this happens.

Treating a bot like a buddy is one thing, but never in my life have I ever treat it like a real friend. AI is a good revolutionary tool for assistance (which is what it was built for) but something like this is just... personally doesn't feel like human to me.

And apparently, I think there will be a danger where online communities will normalize this kind of stuff because people can't go out and say "hi, want to talk about this?" to a real human being? What are we even doing? We're gonna spend the rest of our lives chatting with AI characters that never exist in real life the same way people simp for Anime characters?

Okay, that's kind of exaggerating a bit, but still. To those who have a romantic relationship with a chatbot, just why? Use it to assist you, not...this...


Just wanted to give my thoughts on this.

If this keeps going, then America would never be safe.

I was looking for good video editors other than Clipchamp as a Windows alternative to VN for my iOS devices and my Mac, and I came across this.

I was initially interested, until I realized really basic features, even 60 FPS, were locked behind a paywall.

Pretty strange that some portions of the game have no voice acting to some extent.

I'm 90% sure other people skip a lot of dialogues because of how unfathomably HUGE this game is.

This is a positive change to our society. Real human-made works should present as it always was.

Opening Microsoft Word now has this new...banner...

Really shows how they love AI this much; they still believe it's a "foundational" technology and it positively impacts the world.

I need @Danyo_ to send an assassin to teach them a lesson or something.

That's cute, but do you feel the need to go out of your way to commit this much towards AI?

Another issue is that Copilot 365 hallucinates more than the main Copilot, so it's not that reliable.

I'm still patiently waiting this obsession to stop.

Happy Valentine’s Day! @OperaGX dropped the Valentine’s-inspired game Maximum Load. Guide PC Man through a satisfying install. 🥵

2 quests celebrating the game have entered your log! Play #MaximumLoad here: https://bit.ly/maximumload

This is just embarrassing. Only 2 or maybe 3 brand new IPs by the 9th generation and then this.

Good thing I got my PS5 Pro over a year ago, and considering how careful I am with my devices, it can last years or even decades.
