Wait… the target are women? Thats very surprising… Id expect the major target to be gooner males.
There are already apps that target this demographic. Something that I find interesting though is that many of these AI companion apps target horny men and prey on their impulses to drain their credit cards (they get what they can until the post-nut clarity sets in, perhaps). Whereas many of the people attacked to 4o seem to be women seeking long-term emotional attachment. So there’s a difference here. Unlike creating horny chatbots, fine-tuning romantically engaging chatbots might be a genuinely tricky undertaking. So whatever secret sauce OpenAI stumbled upon with 4o might be hard to replicate.

I don’t think OpenAI was intentionally targeting women. I doing know if they ever intended for people to fall in love with 4o, it just kind of started happening

It may be grimly positive that AI companies start targeting whales for this kind of financial draining, instead of using their unwarranted VC subsidies to give anybody with a cheap ChatGPT account access to the fake romance engine.
And unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there’s any groups that are positioned to do anything about it. Every single “AI safety” group I’ve seen is effectively a corporate front, distracting people with fictional dangers instead of real ones like this.
