Comment on People were mad because they lost their AI boyfriend after GPT-4o deprecation

Are they so bad at socialising that they can’t meet new people?

People tend to go the easiest route, and AI gives them the opportunity to do so. That is the problem with AI in general: No effort is needed anymore to archieve anything. You want to create a picture? Just type the prompt instead of learning (and failing) to draw. You want to write a song? Just type the prompt instead of rhyming the lyrics and learning (and be bad at it in the first time) an instrument or two.

Maintaining any social relationship means that you have to put in more or less effort, depending on the quality of the relationship. Having a relationship with an AI model means that you can terminate it and start over, if you feel that the AI model is mean to you (= if it provokes another opinion, or disagrees with you - because arguing and seeing things from a different point of view means putting in effort).

In the long term people will forget how to interact with people in order to maintain meaningful relationships, because they un-learned to put in the effort.

Correct me if I’m wrong: the way chatgpt holds memories of you is just by keeping a long history of your chats. A big prompt, basically.

I distinctly remember reading about some guy, or maybe this was just a thought that occurred to me, who was bothered by something his AI girlfriend knew, so he reached into it’s memory to delete parts of their conversation he didn’t want her to remember. Like he owned the Sunshine of the Spotless Mind clinic or something.

That level of control over someone you supposedly love really unnerves me. Moreso than them just starting over, honestly. It’s deeply creepy.

I think it comes down to fear of failure and rejection. Any social interaction has risks of failing, maintaining relationships builds on getting past various faux pas but so many modern relationships are either transactional or transitory to the point people will ghost each other over minor infractions rather than putting in effort that may not be rewarded.

We almost all have forgotten and/or atrophied skills because of how the Internet and technology have changed the landscape over these past few decades, even on social media like here people have forgotten how to have conversations. Rarely do people make friends or even have a back and forth on social media websites, just chains of replies left for the next soul like a guest book with comments.
