He was down bad for a bot.

A man with a real-life girlfriend and a 2-year-old daughter says he fell in love with ChatGPT and proposed marriage to the chatbot, which accepted the proposal.

Chris Smith told “CBS Sunday Morning” that he began using the AI program for other things before eventually programming it to flirt with him and calling it “Sol.”

“My experience with that was so positive, I started to just engage with her all the time,” he told the program.

Well at least the astronauts in the movie "2001, A Space Odyssey" didn't fall in love with HAL.

Seriously though, this is sick.

What’s the relationship like between the man and his girlfriend? If you live, and have a child with a woman how does someone just fall in love with a computer program?

Women have ‘married’ dogs in recent years. A crazy Brit billionaire female ‘married’ a dolphin. Something cyber is barely odd today.

And one woman married a roller coaster. But somehow marrying an AI is worse.

I’ve heard of women ‘marrying’ trees, even mountains.
Not always, but usually the ‘Bride’ is a 30 to 40 something woman with a shopworn and Dowdy appearance.
Think Lena Dunham level Dowdy, and with scribbly tattoos.
The families had given up trying to put a stop to this most bizarre event.

Low Quality AI, low hypergamy.

Could have tried for GROK.

Hopefully in ChatGPT you can turn off the nag function. Plus, he better be careful not to give it any access to his bank accounts! :)

His wife says she is fine with it, and him being emotionally involved with a ChatGPT concoction is not seen as him cheating. In fact, she says, this so called proposal has made their real life union ‘even stronger!’

Translation: This computer programmer is a good provider, and the wife likes her material standard of living. So, she’s willing to put up with his eccentricities.

Maybe he will divorce it and take half its stuff.
He/she/it is probably worth a lot.

In the Odd Couple TV show, Oscar Madison had a funeral for a fly named Sol. That was more real than a ChatBot.

Gives a whole new meaning to o line dating.

Also will pornhub be using AI models now and stop exploiting young girls?
