    My god we’re in a dystopian hell. I feel so fucking sad for these people :(

    At least now the AI wont distract them from their loneliness so hopefully they contront it.

    These chatbots leverage a lot of emotions by having way too human interactions with people. In a sense, they are personified, which lead to vulnerable emotional people to have this sort of dependency and a massive fallout when it is unplugged or not accessible. Also, is no one going to point out an 8 year old saying she has a “boyfriend” and she has a dependency on ai?? Where dafuq are the parents?

      Often in a different region due to internal migration restrictions not allowing you to move to where you work.

        I do not know how China works internally, but sounds difficult to be at home at times with your family

      Lemmy gets hyper defensive when parents put controls and blocks and what a child can access. They liken it to censorship and being controlling.

        I’ve mostly seen people take issue when the government puts controls or blocks. I’ve not seen any pushback for parental controls. I don’t hang out on parenting communities though.

      Misleading title (not yours, the article, itself).

      Omitting the word “minors” from the title makes a world of difference.

      Many of us can argue all day about where the line should be between freedom and safety for mature adults, while agreeing that minors (and other vulnerable people) deserve extra protection.

      Edit: Also to echo the earlier comment *where dafuq are these parents?" Haha.

      Stupid overblown hype shit.

      Yes people have feelings and a very small number will be negatively affected, but these kinds of articles are framed to make AI seem like something more than it is.

      On Lemmy there has been a lot of reaction against anything llms, no matter positive or negative for the technology. Granted, llms made everything worse, and the leaders of it won’t stop doom trolling. Which makes a lot of people averse to anything relates to llms, and worse, relate to ai = llms, which could not be further from the truth. Let’s see with time how it evolves, but right now is the direction taken is neither good or functional
