Ah yes, those people are totally start going out and fucking as much as possible. It’s not like that is a symptom of a more general social issue that has been getting worse way before LLMs were popular. And it is also not that people will develop relationships with all sorts of inanimate objects and concepts to cope with reality. The problem was just the AI guys, yay pat yourself in the back
Just the same as many folks falling on hard time grab for booze and/or other substances to get to their day. People I general don’t become poor by doing drugs first. But that would mean admitting society has structural issues that are most likely very profitable to a small minority.
It’s a slippery slope for any repressive government. Isolate people so they can’t revolt, but don’t overdo it because birth rates will decline after a certain point.
Who the fuck romancing AI? I guess this is new low for humankind, don’t blame me if someday we got doomed because of it.

… ok, so we got uh… the ‘BookTok’ crowd of bipolar/neurotic smut connoisseurs…

… and a mix of hopeless chuds and niceguy incels.
And probably also just a segment of full time hikikomori permagooners, of any sex/gender.
There ya go, that’s roughly who.
I hate to be the one to inform you but… legit hundreds of millions of people 😔
Lonely man here, I’d rather stay lonely my entire life than have my emotions held hostage simping for an LLM.
There’s also the fun part where all your chats gets released in a court case or the AI company gets bought out by facebook and they immediately sell all your personal chat logs to advertisers
You’re not their target audience
Sigh… I guess male loneliness is real things now, the end of era happening so fast that i can imagine
“Male loneliness” aka “I’ve been raised to think that patriarchy works and that I deserve a bunch of shit without reason. Why is the world so mean to me?” Meanwhile, everyone is lonely because capitalists made it cost money to see people and no one’s got any of that.
Lonely man here. I’ve been raised to think that every man are pervert and women keep getting catcalled and harassed in the street. I’m so ashamed of myself that I just cannot approach a woman without thinking I will annoy her and will be rejected no matter what I try. So I just… don’t.
I understand people using LLM for romance. I don’t use it because of big corps. But If I had a fully local, fast, LLM, I think I would also use it.
That’s another example. People are just people. If you interact with them, you’ll be shocked to find that most of them have just as complicated relationship with the world as you do. You don’t need to be afraid that everyone views you as a monster because of your gender. They don’t. They won’t trust you initially cause we live in a time of low trust (most interactions you have are people trying to get one over on you, because of the anonymity of the interaction). All that it takes to get over that is more interactions with the same people. Then you’ll be more confident in other interactions with strangers going forward.
More importantly, who the fuck is anthroporphizing AI?
Google search results AI answer: “Thinking…”
Google Gemini: “I am…”
Downloads an ai chat bot
LLMs are horrible at a lot of things, but this is one area where they excel i’d guess. The things are trained on volumes upon volumes of spicy fanfic and roleplay chats posted for free online. They can probably cater to kinks that I don’t even know exist. Because the lonely aren’t seeking objective responses the hallucinations aren’t as obvious.
Not that it’s a good thing that they are okay at this though. I’d hate to find out a person got LLM induced psychosis from their fake AI gf.
They’re kinda garbage at any creative writing the same way they suck at humor; they’re either weirdly non-sequiturious or incredibly boring.
LLMs have yet to enter the monetization process where the models get bogged down with ads for pepsi or whatever.
Chud: “I love you, robot who always agrees with me”
LLM: “I’m just holding my pepsi coke here and I’m so excited to say I love you too”
It’s actually capitalism declining the birth rate.
Yeah. Thinking chatbots is why birth rate is declining is like thinking drug use leads to job loss (it’s the other way around)
None of this shit in China
What does chud even mean anymore
Right wingers angry at culture war nonsense and make it their entire personality.
Doing the “right” thing for a very wrong reason is still wrong.
There are legitimate reasons to be skeptical, but the state has no right to your children.
States don’t have rights at all, rights are for people. But, the purpose of a state is to make society livable and sustainable. There is likely a benefit to society in mitigating the use of parasocial relationships with chat bots as a substitute for actual interpersonal relationships.
I think there is benefit to society in creating alternatives to parasocial relationships with chat bots.
Until then, I see this as somewhat analogous to fighting ADHD by banning Adderall. Yeah, the drugs aren’t good for you, but the lack of them is worse.
Agreed but this is a shitpost?
A shitpost with a shit message might be a shit post
Don’t see a source on this bc shitpost but tbf I don’t think most people want kids in a world that’s actively burning down lmao
Also isn’t China’s youth unemployment rate something like 20%?
I’m sure it’s not great in other countries either but yeah think I remember reading about the “lay flat” movement (kind of like quiet quitting/job finding struggles in the US)
Chuds existed before these things
Perhaps they can next bring back Maoist self-criticism, but make it a dating profile workshop
