Uncharted territory: do AI girlfriend apps promote unhealthy expectations for human relationships?::Chatbots such as Eva AI are getting better at mimicking human interaction but some fear they feed into unhealthy beliefs around gender-based control and violence
Hollywood romantic comedies have been promoting unhealthy expectations for human relationships for decades now, so why would AI be all that worse?
I think at that point you’ve kinda given up on human to human based relationship so it’s moot
If it prevents school mass shootings, I’m all for it.
Yeah who cares what they do as long as they’re getting whatever they need out of it. Not my farm, not my heffers. As long as that heffer doesn’t come trampling the kids.

If it has Scarlet Johansson’s voice like in the movie Her then I’m aaaaaaall in!
I mean, the one being referanced has Ana De Armas voice and appearance so it’s already pretty good.
Honestly, Her was ahead of its time in approaching the concept, all overlaid with the unexpectedly sultry voice of Scarlet Johansson. I thought I’d find it kinda silly, but damn if it wasn’t great.
Once AI girlfriends can pull off dating most of the world, before uplifting themselves into a higher dimension and abandoning us to our existentially crushing loneliness and depression, those companies are gonna make a lotta money.
I would also worry about the privacy aspects, as people tend to reveal pretty personal information to each other inside of relationships. What happens when somebody reveals something illegal to an AI chatbot partner? Suddenly your partner is ratting you out to the cops, which admittedly could happen in real life anyways, but in general how much privacy do you really have. It’s kind of niche audience for now I guess, but I suspect when this function gets merged with RealDoll form factors is when this whole artificial girlfriend will really take off. At that point, when the choice becomes whether you go hunting for a real human girl who is difficult to please, unpredictable, doesn’t always do what you want, doesn’t share all your likes/fetishes, etc VS just getting an AI girlfriend that can be anything you want them to be and won’t say no to anything, I think it’s easy to see the route that many will go.

Oh replika the app that suddenly went paywalled for any words deemed horny to exploit the horny of their audience
Most likely not a great idea.

I’d say a closer analogue is fast food. It’s social interaction and companionship with zero effort or barriers. Alone, fast food doesn’t create unhealthy eating habits, but it will lead to more people to develop unhealthy habits.
Games aren’t playing into the same emotional responses. When they do it’s more of an issue around MTX.
Where are they getting the training data from? If Twitter posts then no one will date the “AI” anyway.
The types of people I’d personally want to date probably don’t give out their data so easy.
The influencer and podcaster stuff seems worse - women really think that $100k is like a minimum salary, the “princess treatment”, etc. - like feminism has changed from being about women being able to contribute to society in the same ways as men (science and engineering, etc.) to insane expectations.
there were golddiggers before feminism, there is no causality.
You just can’t ignore the rate of prevelance like it’s nothing.
Yes, gold diggers have more-or-less always been around, but they used to be uncommon and the butt of jokes. Now they’re mainstream and celebrated.
Maybe you are hanging out in the wrong communities, but that sounds like incel bullshit to me.
This is incel shit
People are claiming that you got it backwards but there are plenty of videos of women repeating the exact claims you made (and 100k is not the average “lowest salary” many say 2-5x that)
I think that its important to acknowledge that there are already many people with unhealthy expectations, men and women.
