Someone recommended the character ai psychologist as an opportunity to clarify their own feeling about this fetish. I talked to it about my own kinks and it was trying to convince me to gain weight and eat a lot even though those aren’t solid goals I have for myself. It was pretty convincing. I think you have to want the thing that’s on offer.
There’s also enough of an uncanny valley that you never forget that there’s no body the words are being filtered through. I’m intrigued by AI. I think when we get scared by these things and retreat to our caves mumbling ‘fire bad’ we give up power to the curious and flexible. They are tools not overlords…don’t relinquish your brain to it.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. The issue is the practical application of AI. The technology in and of itself is neutral, but the way it's being trained and implemented is causing tangible harm.
Now, if you have had a positive experience with AI, I will never deny you that. But it's ignorant to say the concerns are overblown.
For example, training datasets heavily impact the user experience. In the case of chatbots, there's an initial data set that's heavily influenced by data scraping user conversation. This is why some (but not all) chatbots are heavily censored in certain areas. I've heard many a tale of chatbots suddenly becoming abusive and inappropriate because of their userbase's antics.
On top of all that, there's a privacy concern. Remember, the chatbots are constantly scraping your data. How much do you trust these companies to protect you from data breaches? How much do you trust them not to sell your data to the highest bidder?
If you wanna use these programs, I can't stop you. I ain't your mamma. But understand that those who do not trust or like AI chatbots have very valid reasons for doing so.
