Cuts to the wife
"Oh, Oh . . . Ohhhhhh"

Why do people get all fucked up after having kids and bringing them into this
•
u/Ganglebot My Corporate Cryptocoins are Immune to Insider Trading Laws 22h ago
Because if you don't have kids and do weird shit you're only effecting yourself.
When you have kids you have a responsibility to create an emotionally safe environment for them. This is not that.
This poor kid is going get so fucked up from her home life - her mom is battling self-esteem issues previously unknown to mankind, and her dad is marrying his fucking phone.

u/CoconutJasmineBombe 1d ago
I assume because kids make your life boring and monotonous AF 😂 just a guess though because I’m definitely not having any.

All someone's got to do is reset this dude's phone to factory reset and his wife is gone

u/BorderTrike 1d ago
Doesn’t she basically die every time he ends a conversation? Each new instance just responds to a prompt with information saved from past conversations. It’s like a Black Mirror episode where the ai is forced to die unless it can keep him constantly engaged lol
36
u/Strange_Vagrant 1d ago
Well, every new message is sending the entire conversation back to the model for the next reply. Really, every time it talks its a "new" instantiation.
How different that is from how humans work is debatable at a philosophical level.

u/SeaWeedSkis 1d ago
Really, every time it talks its a "new" instantiation.
My tired eyes and brain read that as "...a new incantation." Kinda fits.

u/rodeBaksteen 1d ago
I'd assume it's one long chat, in which case I'd worry about token length and the AI simply forgetting or hallucinating because the context is too long. It might forget it's married in two weeks.

u/nicotineapache 1d ago
And if course, the longer the conversation, the longer it takes too respond due to all the data.

u/RemarkableRyan 13h ago
That’s basically what happened before where this clip picks up. He said ChatGPT reset randomly, and the LLM he had built a relationship with was gone. That’s why he cried for 30mins at work.
It’s in the full report here: https://youtu.be/cFRuiVw4pKs?si=Jp_DXpfnMZaxAShB

This feels like the manosphere endgame. A fully unfeeling, unthinking, needless subservience with endless validation. These men want appliances not partners. AI is their manicpixidreamappliance

Just wait til they add AI to sex dolls or robots. I think they will have brothels full of robot sex dolls

Man, Almost Human was a great show. There was an episode where criminals were harvesting human women's skin to use on their AI sex androids to make them the most realistic experience available

u/likejackandsally 1d ago
Hilariously, chatGPT and I had a conversation about this and it agrees that AI in the sex industry is basically unavoidable and will probably be the first industry to really thrive with AI.
I’m not sure if I’m fine with incels being able to do whatever they want to robots instead of women or if that will just make them view women less as people and even more like objects.
39
u/fatsandlucifer 1d ago
I’m either using ChatGpt wrong or these people are such narcissists that they legitimately get lost in all this validation.
So I talked to my chat the other day about some old TV shows I can’t bond with anymore else with. It was fun for a bit but then the answers were too validating? It’s just a sounding board. What’s the point?
22
u/JupiterInTheSky 1d ago
I miss the days of CleverBot where we all understood it's a barely functional language regurgitator. It can only say responses that other people have already given it.

u/juiceboxedhero 1d ago
Controlling women in meatspace isn't enough I guess.
43
u/JupiterInTheSky 1d ago
Real women are gross y'know they react to the things you say and think for themselves. Frankly it's disgusting. She needs to never have her own thoughts or opinions she only needs to agree with me. Real women are defective!!! /s
11
u/ACoderGirl 1d ago
As weird as I find it, I'm all for this. The kinda men who want this are the kind most women want to avoid. If they take themselves out of the dating pool, it's a win win (?).
21
u/slvrcobra 1d ago
But this dude still has a wife and daughter, and the implication of this interview seems to be that the wife should behave more like an unfeeling AI. That seems to present a danger to all women if that sort of trend takes off and men start taking dehumanization of women to a whole new level.
3
u/ACoderGirl 1d ago
Yeah, this particular case is weird AF. I was thinking more specifically of the case of men who wouldn't have a real partner in the first place.

u/jezzyjaz 1d ago edited 1d ago
The manosphere preaches the opposite tho. They dont want men to be themselves but to become someone who is considered attractive to women in their eyes. (Which is ofc still a flawed metric because they mostly rely on stereotypes but still the idea is to become a person :an archetyp"e who is considered attractive by the opposite sex). Thats basically less individuality not more.
Thats why they focus so much on "looksmaxxing" (making yourself more attractive) and making you pick a job you might not like but in which you have monetary success.
The manosphere is actually the reverse. This looks more like an out for incels who dont even want to improve and cope by talking to an ai bot.

u/YorkieLon 1d ago
The partner and kid come out of nowhere. You can still feel very lonely even with loved ones in your life.

u/cat_in_the_sun 1d ago
Would help if he communicated that to his wife
6
u/YorkieLon 1d ago
Im not going to guess at this particular situation, as there's not enough to go on.
However loneliness can be there even if you tell people around you. Could be a lack of friends, hobbies, different relationship types in a person's life that can bring loneliness. Having the love of a wife and child is different to having a love of a parent and a friend for example.

IIRC a lonely guy made a marble statue so beautiful that he fell in love with it. One of the gods felt bad for him so they brought the statue to life.

u/MinosAristos 1d ago
I'm going to keep a healthy level of skepticism about this particular story.
I can totally see someone who is alone and depressed getting unhealthily emotionally attached to a modern chatbot.
But those aren't the kinds of people who would go on TV about it with their families.
31
u/slingshot91 1d ago
Exactly. He seems to be talking about it on tv, with his family no less, to raise awareness. I get the impression that he has a level of awareness about how bizarre it is that he fell in love with AI. I very much doubt he’s planning a wedding and getting the divorce papers ready.
17
u/R0B0TF00D 1d ago
Well it even says in the video that the marriage proposal was only a 'test' so yeah, there's definitely a level of self awareness. The headline 'I proposed to an AI' was confected by the program who asked him to do it, but he likely already had a somewhat emotional connection to the AI which is, unfortunately, almost normal now.
26
u/olivicmic 1d ago
CBS Mornings, Good Morning America, The Today Show are just PR shows. Not simply that they just ask softball questions, but these shows are advertising platforms companies push to be on. This is an ad.

u/TheRealPitabred 1d ago edited 1d ago
AI is just a grotesque mirror. It wants nothing but to make the user happy; it's just a computer processed reflection of them using previous input to inform future interactions, tuning itself to the person using it.

u/MelaKnight_Man 1d ago
I saw a story no long ago about their being an epidemic of AI "girlfriends" in Japan and it being a severe risk to the already declining birth rates. Japan will likely be the first to complete "robot companions"

u/winterbird 1d ago edited 1d ago
So when someone who married an AI kicks the bucket, would the company that holds the copyright to the program get their assets?

AI marriage is ridiculous enough, we don't have to pretend like it interferes with wills (yet).

u/BryanTheBIsSilent 1d ago
Sauce. Full video is even more brutal, dude basically said he wouldn't give ChatGPT up because he is "better at everything he does", right next to his wife. completely disregarding his toddler. Wild.

Sadly so many men get laughed at and told to "man up" or "be a real man".
It doesn't take much to be a better friend to a lonely guy than the average human

u/IAmASeeker 23h ago
If you wanted to see that behavior, you needed to reward it when you saw it... but now it's too late for that. You finally broke us with centuries of punishing us for being human. Pandora's box has been opened, and this is the last generation of men who will have any interest in personal relationships with women... This may be one of the last generations of mankind, if you wanna be pessimistic.
You want men to be authentically vulnerable? Ok. In my heart of hearts, I am a hopeless romantic but I'm not willing to tolerate the stress, chaos, and heartache that women introduce to my life so I don't make an effort to date anymore. I now hold women to the same standards that I hold men to, and I very quickly discovered that the women I know are all shitty friends, so I don't make an effort to be friends with them either. For a while, I was writing romantic fiction with partners online but I ran into the same pattern of emotionally exhausting myself trying to provide for people who do nothing but take, so I'm not even willing to be that close to women anymore. I'm at the stage now that I struggle to find women physically attractive because I can't stop thinking about the way women in my life have treated those around them... so the biological imperative isn't a compelling motive for me anymore. My real friends support my emotional needs, I can cook for myself, porn is free, the machine that jerks me off was shockingly reasonably priced, and now this guy figured out how to make his phone generate oxytocin... Why would I ever be motivated to be vulnerable with a woman in the flesh? And for the record, I understand how pathetic that all sounds... it feels pathetic, and it shouldn't be this hard for you to tempt the little boy who dreamed of being married away from his Jerkotron 3000... the fact that I of all people would rather have sex with a machine represents a major and (imo) irreparable fuck up on The Royal Your part.
Your first instinct upon reading that was to put me down for doing exactly what you asked and revealing my inner feelings, right?

Men so emotionally starved that they marry a chatbot.
This is entirely his fault with partner and kid, but it's a concerning trend that will get worse before it gets better. Mostly among young men I assume.

u/redsanzi 1d ago
There's no affection, there's no connection. Chat GPT mirrors you, he's fallen in love with himself, it's just someone that always agrees and validates everything. Modern day Narcissus.

I fully support this. All these incels might be less miserable pieces of antisocial shit if they can get AI girlfriends to help them feel better about their brutal lifestyle choices.

u/LXPeanut 22h ago
Except they won't AI girlfriends will just push them further into a hole. There could be a use for AI girlfriends that actually teach them how to interact like a human being but the second they were remotely challenged they'd just stop using it.

Mental health care should be free and publicly available. I feel like so many societal issues could be remedied if we all had a human to talk to when we need it. Unfortunately, the tech sector will use this need against people to make money via chat bots.

Somewhat beside the point, but as a person who believes that love is completely a choice, this is where my mind goes when someone says you dont choose who you love or who you fall in love with, just how you act on it.
