No “ai” friend will be able to provide the same social interactions and such as a real human.
While it might be better than living alone and feeling lonely, while home, for some, i really doubt this will take off in the way that some of these articles would have us believe
If this ai girlfriend reminded these goons to clean their room and shower, maybe they could be slightly useful
It won’t work for the general public, but some people hate social interactions with real humans and will prefer the ass kissing bot. A very small portion will take it to an extreme.
I have used LLMs quite a lot since they first became a thing and there is one thing I always notice. After chatting for a while it always feels like you are talking to a version of yourself who just happens to be knowledgeable in a vast amount of topics.
At least for me it is similar to having an internal monolog just a lot more interactive. Considering that, I can definetly see why people find AI partners appealing. Because they are literally talking to themselves.
I don’t think that’s a bad thing on itself, after all I used to have long conversations with myself all the time to help me arrive into conclusions. Just be mindful of that and use as a tool, because that’s exactly what it is.
Using LLMs that way with the knowledge that it is a sort of mirror of yourself works much better than pretending it’s an actual consciousness that understands you. Think of it as a modern journal or diary that you can put thoughts into and then get back more organized, maybe with some ideas to branch from.
Not at the moment, but there’s no reason to think it could never happen, unless you think it’s impossible to simulate a human brain, which seems an unlikely thought.
I know you mean human brain, but the point is that the principles largely exist and the progress is accelerating.
However, one of the key learnings from the linked project is that the brain and body are intrinsically linked and biology is a nightmare mess of spaghetti code. Simulating just the brain has limited benefits and will not likely simulate a person or consciousness any more than simulating small pieces of a brain.
the sad truth is for many people the social interactions the ai provides will be more positive than the real world ones.
you assume that real world interaction is positive, it often, is not.
like try being a gay kid in a conservative town… you will have zero positive social interactions, and the AI one will probably be the only one you have that doesn’t hate you for existing.
Not, really. Antidepressants do actually work, they have clinical trials of decades behind them. With that being said they treats the symptoms, they don’t fix the underlying cause. But treating the symptoms does allow you to start working on yourself so you slowly crawl out of the hole.
Talking with LLMs and pretending they are anything but a tool all it does is further isolate you. They don’t even understand what they write. They are text predicting machines guessing which words should probably go after the ones you gave as the input.
I’m not talking about antidepressants, I’m talking about non-medical drugs. Many depressed people fall in that spiral of depressed —> drugs —> slightly less depressed —> even more depressed —> more drugs —> repeat.
Same with people talking to LLMs for social connections.
I wasn’t talking about medical antidepressants, these can help when taken in controlled amounts.
Ok, my bad. I thought by drugs you were talking about things like SSIRs which some are attempting to demonize these days. Illicit drugs on the other hand just provide a very short temporarily relief and just prolong the problem.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Half of my friends are socially inept quite nerds who don’t say shit online. All of them provide little socialization outside of small bursts or even we made it a point to hang out in person. It would be trival for me to fill a lot of those gaps if I didn’t have other outlets. The lack of empathy around AI interactions and how they form relationships is astounding.
And? Is amazing how much people will screech over non optimized solutions and risk mitigation from life challenges.
Is it perfect? No. Can it make you feel better and fill gaps? Yes. Fucking worthless amirite?
I’m not going to even get into how a model trained for medical purposes can be used to learn and enforce strong healthy habits and the excitement for medically trained models that are incredibly useful. It would be lost on this crowd.
Go ahead and do it if it makes you feel good. Just be aware of what you are actually doing. Chatting with an LLM can be fun, the problem is once you start seeing it as a conscious being that actually understands what it writes, let alone understand you. Because that couldn’t be further from the truth.
No shit for brains. It’s okay to have models that are trained by medical experts to assist in medical diagnostics and treatments. While there is inherent risk in someone so dead set to beat the model, many if not most can use the tools in monitored controlled setting with minimized risk and outcomes that put weigh them.

Thing is, it is already happening. Don’t forget that teenager that killed himself because his AI girlfriend told him to.
Also look at the other comment.
It will become even worse once realistic robots become a thing, and there will most definitely be versions with holes.
You clearly made a grammatical mistake here bud, please remove “will be” from your sentence.
And there most definitely versions with holes

Wtf did I just watch 😭😭😭😭
A board game review by The Dragon’s Tomb!
I don’t think that’s a board game he reviewed 😭
Well he does board game reviews, and they sent him a sex doll to review, so the sex doll must be for board games

It’s great for rubber duck debugging and brainstorming in that way.

That’s exactly my point, it is a tool. The problem starts when you start thinking of it like something different than that.

I dont think we will see a fully simulated brain in our life time
Depends which brain. There are some people I know I suspect you could simulate with a potato and a few wires.
That’s me!

That’s just the equivalent of taking drugs because you’re depressed.

The LLM gets no empathy because it deserves none. It doesn’t have feelings or emotions, it never will. At best it is a tool.
That says more about how you treat your tools and view your material surroundings than speaking to any sort of universal truth.
I treat my hammer well, I make sure it doesn’t rust and does its job well.
I don’t try to fuck my hammer.
Saying that empathy is reserved for things you’re trying to fuck isn’t the “Gotcha!” you think it is.
Again, says more about you than anything.

So can meth. That doesn’t mean we should encourage it.
Yeah, meth isn’t used in any medications 🤣👍 never not even one
Out of all the substances you could have chosen and you choose the one used as a bases for tons and tons of medications.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo
So… you think it’s ok for everyone to be on meth like you clearly think it’s ok for people to have AI companions…?
rofl bravo indeed… Way to completely and utterly miss the analogy.

That’s not what we are talking about though. We are talking about people having personal relationships with Large Language Models.
Bruh
Bruh!
Okay
Neet.
