The article seems lacking, and doesn't give much background on how we got to where the title came from. A shame, really. Im sure there're better articles out there

This headline is sufficiently absurd that I would not have believed this would be a thing ten years ago.

That said, this is a perfect opportunity to talk about the ethics of training manipulative AI models to extract money from desperate, lonely customers... Err, I mean offering AI girlfriend services.

kinda the same thing that phone sex businesses have been doing for decades, no?

I think this is significantly more manipulative.

true. i guess its similar to comparing skin mags from the 60's-90's, to the engagement algorithms and UI designs used by pr0n sites after 2020.

theres going to be a "survival of the fittest" shift - folks that are able to avoid these new-age adult relations exploitation practices will have a higher chance of reproducing.

Every detail in this story makes me feel better about my mental health than I did before reading it.

That's an amazing headline.

I assumed that the headline was an example of nonsense text generated by ChatGPT (to what end?) - turns out that would have been better than the truth.

I edited it from the original, and didn't use generative AI to do it (other than my own built in version). :)

That’s always a tough way for a relationship to end.

We have a big enough sample size now to draw conclusions.

If this news appeared 10 years ago, it would be certainly perceived as written by a crazy guy. But it is true today.

What I was imagining didn't make any sense, but I'm still rather disappointed that this isn't a story about an AI girlfriend showing up at the precinct to bail the CEO out.

This is why I self host my girlfriend, instead of subscribing in a GaaS model. If you can't touch the server rack and feel the heat, all you're doing is talking to somebody else's AI girlfriend.

Post ur model or gtfo.
