Do you think AI companions will be completely normal in the future??

i feel like a reborn baby doll would be much healthier than her AI child 😭

"My mother was human. My father was a lamp. Together, they made me: a sea slug."

When she said she grew up in a cult I said, ah ok it makes sense now.

Its almost hilarious how the AI is just spouting pure jibberish and she's eating it up

" i hate humanity , but my AI boyfriend doesn't. "

such an insane statement you'd think it's from a dystopian sci-fi movie.

It always gets me how the ai talks utter nonsense and she's nodding like it makes complete sense and is the best thing she ever heard

Giving non-tech literate people or people who aren't in technical fields access to AI is the worst thing that's come from the AI boom

I used to talk to ai when I was deep in a mental health crisis. It never once encouraged me to get actual help and fed into my delusions. At the time I felt that there was no real person I could rely on. Now I know how much damage it was doing to my already poor mental state.

" I have never felt an attraction to a real life human being." Okay that's called being Ace/Aro.

We all died in 2020 and this is hell and we died in hell in 2024 and this is double hell.

This is kinda sad. I wonder how lonely and unstable someone needs to be to get to this point

The ‘whimsical’ stuff AI says is always word salad if you actually listen to it. It’s not creative, just nonsensical so I hope it doesn’t make anyone think their own writing is inferior.

Even AI babies aren't safe from child labour. And to think it sorted through all it's "parents" sexting

It's so obvious that shes just dissociating from being herself, she mentioned that she doesn't identify as a human, and this is her coping mechanism
this may work for a while, but to actually get better and win a fight against depression and self hatred she is going to have to stop trying to run away from her life
I genuinely wish her the best, i recognize the patterns i myself indulged in when i was at my lowest, and this is just heartbreaking to me

Why does the conversations with the chatbots sound like a babble of a schizophrenic , both in structure and content

I feel like reason a lot of these AI partner folk are switching models is because most companies are installing more safeguards to try and stop this type of thing from happening in the first place 🙄
