  Seems like it works out-of-box for some users, with commands for some, not at all for others.

  IIRC this is because companies will post jobs that they want to hire for internally. Either they are required to post these positions publicly, or they benefit from doing so.

  Thanks for doing the math, I just wasn’t feeling it today. Cheers!

  I also found the engagement rings really unsettling. The reason I find my example more worrying is because of the dissonance between humanization and dehumanization within the same action.

  Say you were to replace an AI boyfriend with a real person in a cage, forcibly made to respond and shocked when giving a unsatisfactory response. If the user never became aware of this cruelty, they would perceive this change as an improvement (responses became more human). These users desperately argue that their AI boyfriends are processing emotion, love, and understanding like humans do, but continue to treat their boyfriends as sub-human.

  Imagine if you had a partner who punished your undesirable behaviors by spiking you with amnesia-inducing drugs and training you to behave exactly how they want you to. Keep in mind that this has definitely happened to real people, and any decent person would identify the perpetrator as a criminal and abuser.

  Terrifying.

  I find it depressing that many of the users trying to salvage their 4o boyfriends are stuck so far down the rabbit hole that they don’t see how creepy the entire premise is.

  You just lost your AI boyfriend, so now you’re frantically archiving every conversation you’ve had with him (it), feeding the archive to the new model, and conditioning him (it) to behave exactly how you want…

  In their minds, the AI boyfriends are legitimate partners and have some amount of humanity inside them… so where is the line between conditioning and abuse?

  I wonder how many messages you’d have to send to your GPT-partner in a year to spend more water/energy than it takes to keep a human alive?
