So he’s never even talked to them online, but he’s in love with them? No, he’s in love with their online persona. That’s a parasocial relationship and that’s not healthy.
By the way, what if the AI could copy this image of the cosplayer and reproduce it as if the person was communicating with his ideal that he saw in that girl? Maybe it's a great way for unhealthy people to satisfy themselves?
Although no, it sounds silly, but I think some people do this.
But thanks for the explanation, I'm a complete ignoramus in this.
The problem that you're describing is that people aren't being socialized properly. The solution to that problem isn't to give people a chatbot, it's to socialize them properly.
It is going to happen, and it has already happened, but that's not really a future that we should strive for. IMO too much damage has already been done and there needs to be laws put into place to severely regulate AI companies
No, that's fucking moronic.
Maybe, but I think for some people with powerful PCs and local AIs, this may be the norm.
theres nothing normal about that. period.
its the same as pinning a photo of the girl who works at the coffee shop to a pillow and talking to it.
If someone wants to obsess over someone they've never interacted with so much that they want to replicate an LLM version of them to talk to, they're beyond help.
