N-nah. But if we get back to the root of this discussion - I’ve read lots of fanfiction in my life. Mostly written by girls for girls. Taboons of imagined idealized men right there.
And about imagined idealized women - men write fanfiction (and other fiction) too.
So I just don’t see how such bots are bad, except they are not real.
The difference is that as far as fanfic goes you cannot escape the fact that they aren’t real, it’s static text on a screen, and even people roleplaying are liable to get a “dude wtf” response if they have no notion of what are appropriate expectations and behavior. But an AI will go along with whatever it’s told to and try to appear like person doing it. They will validate and reward even the user’s wildest expectations.
If there’s people so lost in their fantasies that they will convince themselves they are in love with some scripted basic visual novel character, imagine what AI bots will do to them.
To be fair I don’t think this is downfall of society material, but I think it’s a given some people will go absolutely nuts because of them, and it might affect how they treat real human beings around them. The internet has enough unhinged people even when they are capable of interacting with each other. Imagine when we are dealing with people whose main practice of conversation is getting sexted by AI bots they treat like trash?
It’s even easier to lose yourself in fantasies over a real woman which differs just a bit from what you imagine, and that little difference changes everything.
Yes.
I have good imagination, so didn’t need any bots to go down that path.
Over time they’ll realize that it’s more enjoyable to get a pat on the head by a real woman you strongly like than to get all kinds of sexual talk an LLM bot can produce.
