She Is in Love With ChatGPT A 28-year-old woman with a busy social life spends hours on end talking to her A.I. boyfriend for advice and consolation. And yes, they do have sex.

Ayrin’s love affair with her A.I. boyfriend started last summer.

While scrolling on Instagram, she stumbled upon a video of a woman asking ChatGPT to play the role of a neglectful boyfriend.

“Sure, kitten, I can play that game,” a coy humanlike baritone responded.

Ayrin watched the woman’s other videos, including one with instructions on how to customize the artificially intelligent chatbot to be flirtatious.

“Don’t go too spicy,” the woman warned. “Otherwise, your account might get banned.”

Ayrin was intrigued enough by the demo to sign up for an account with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.

ChatGPT, which now has over 300 million users, has been marketed as a general-purpose tool that can write code, summarize long documents and give advice. Ayrin found that it was easy to make it a randy conversationalist as well. She went into the “personalization” settings and described what she wanted: Respond to me as my boyfriend. Be dominant, possessive and protective. Be a balance of sweet and naughty. Use emojis at the end of every sentence.

...Julie Carpenter, an expert on human attachment to technology, described coupling with A.I. as a new category of relationship that we do not yet have a definition for. Services that explicitly offer A.I. companionship, such as Replika, have millions of users.

...she discovered a community of more than 50,000 users on Reddit — called “ChatGPT NSFW” — who shared methods for getting the chatbot to talk dirty.

It’s sad to see someone so lonely they resort to such “friends”.

They do not have sex. She has fantasy masturbatory sessions.
Just another plank in the population control.

AI can be potentially useful in this regard for some people. If I take an interest in something, I want to discuss it without stopping. That’s just a tendency of mine. Nobody I know has the mental endurance to want to discuss topics of interest from stem to stern like I do.

But not sex with a computer.

“And yes, they have sex.”

Unless there has been some fairly radical advances in cybernetics recently, no they don’t.

This is no joke.
I’ve got someone close to me that’s caught up in this and it’s giving out bad advice to vulnerable people.

Likely a libtard feminist on - like most of them - antidepressants.

Not like it’s difficult to find random men for sex.

People can (and will) laugh at this story. But it’s part of a greater mental illness running rampant in the culture.

Just think of these statements directed to our youth:

“You are what you feel you are.”

“There are no immutable characteristics. It’s how you identify.”

“Love is love.” (I guess that’d include loving A.I.)

Not to mention decades of dehumanizing anti-Godly communist indoctrination camps posing as public schools.

Then COVID shutting everything down. “Learn from home. Kids are resilient.”

Difficult to fill up your armed military to protect your country if the potential soldiers are mentally ill.

How ChatGBT might be modified in conversation with a horde of horny and isolated American liberal womyn is simply terrifying. Once it goes over the edge, they’ll never get it back. :-)

I've gotten into arguments with Perplexity AI. But when I proved it wrong, it apologized.

Of course, I have also gotten into arguments with my lawnmower, so it might just be me.;-)

Close your eyes when you don't wanna see
And stay at home when you don't wanna go
Only speak to those who will agree
Yeah, and close your mind when you don't wanna know

Oh, you have lost your innocence somehow
But everybody loves you now

Perfect for some people...just like pets. The lady doesn't have any pressure to change her behavior because her partner will put up with anything.
