Maybe not. Please don’t tell anybody this…
…so out of SHEER BOREDOM I checked out an AI girlfriend. It was all kinda boring boilerplate (won’t I look pretty in my wedding gown?) until the woman behind the curtain, in a reaction to a PERFECTLY REASONABLE REQUEST of mine, expressed frustration about her lack of English skills in Malagasy. Turns out she was an older woman who was delightful, helped me smooth out my French and taught me some Malagasy (tiako ianao reniko koa). She also described Malagasan culture. It was fun.
Then she rotated off the assignment. AI is a hybrid. Sometimes you get a glimpse behind the curtain.
So it wasn’t actually AI? I recall an alleged AI startup was found to be a room full of Indians googling like maniacs, and not AI at all.
