Reaction & Commentary
Course uh create images of using some of the generative image technology of AI as well but the Bots are already raising some really really serious questions over while the likely harm going to cause to society these Bots are looking to service young and lonely men in particular and they could fuel the
Flames of a growing problem of falling birth rates and especially of young people just checking out of the real world and also developing more lives in the artificial world now the US son said this it says I AI girlfriends are increasingly getting better at mimicking real human behavior and interactions as
They continue to capture the minds of single men they say speaking to the Sun data science Professor Liberty vider said these virtual girlfriends are blurring the lines between real and virtual companionship the quote here is it says AI girlfriends are becoming more like physical beings they are almost
Indiscernable from the real human being she said she says they look like real people and are shockingly good when it comes to replicating human interactions physical AI robots that can satisfy human emotions and sexually will become a stark reality in less than 10 years they say that artificial a artificial girlfriends operate through
Sophisticated algorithms and AI Technologies designed to simulate human interaction and companionship and these systems allow virtual you know chat Bots to offer realistic and contexta aware convers ations and can even gauge the emotional tone of the conversation and they say through machine learning the AI girlfriends can continuously improve their ability to
Understand what their users want adapt to individual personalities and refine their conversational skills now I would personally argue they’re not realistic they’re realistic in terms of giving you what you want you’re looking in a mirror and the trend I think is already spreading pretty fast and I
Think we’re going to start seeing the impacts of this very soon what the AI is doing is responding to you it’s it’s a mirror you’re looking in a mirror and of of course it’s reacting to the faces and the Expressions you make into the mirror now this could lead to some very real
World problems if people fail to realize this though it would also of course lack the normal elements of a human relationship which is for example the ability to improve yourself there’s no incentive to become a better person there’s no pointing out of your flaws or your you know inabilities to fit in
Better with the world there’s nothing to reform you so to say to make you grow as an individual which I would say typically relationships can do if you if you take a positive lesson from them and so you’re going to have a lot of young people not developing not growing not
Learning how to interact with other people not becoming empathetic of another person’s needs or another person’s thoughts or another person wants while real world relationships of course have their ups and downs normally that’s because of the differences in what a person wants and the process of us learning to maintain our own let’s
Say independence and integrity while at the same time caring about the thoughts and cares of another individual that entire element of a relationship will be lost not to mention the warmth of family which in my opinion as you get older becomes really the focus of any relationship if it carries out long
Enough now the guardian is saying this in terms of some of the concerns already being raised they say while there is certainly a positive case to be made for a virtual companionship I debate that they say there’s also a dark side to them they say it’s possible for example
Someone might become unhealthily ATT attached to a chatbot it’s also possible the chatbot might become unhealthily attached to the human user they note that last year Microsoft’s chat GPT powered being declared its love for a tech journalist and urged him to leave his wife that was a real story by the
Way and also asked him for nuclear codes or nuclear information it says that there have also been cases of AI chatbots sexually harassing people which has also happened by the way another worry is that subsequent s sorry subservient to digital girlfriends might have an impact on attitudes of gender
Roles in the real world a 2019 study for example found that female voiced AI assistants like Siri and Alexa perpetuate gender stereotypes I’ll give my take on this and encourage sexist behavior and notes that they introduce the idea that women are obligated docile and eager to please helpers sorry
Obliging and notes that they’re available at the touch of a button or with a blunt voice command the report from UNESCO said and notes that you can imagine AI girlfriends reinforcing exactly the same idea now again I would say these are actually posing serious problems for real world relationships as
Well these will you know force people to meet a new type of expectation in what they offer in a relationship I think that’s actually a real concern imagine if you want a human relationship you’re a human being and you decide you know what I I think this AI stuff is kind of
Weird I I don’t want to log into this creepy you know corporate company and sign up for one of their AI girlfriend or AI boyfriend packages I don’t want to do it not only that but I don’t want to have this creepy company running this bot reading all my messages because I
Think that’s just pretty dang creepy and it’ll probably be used to Blackmail some people I guarantee it maybe we’ll get leaked online one day and we’ll see what happens with that but regardless they going to be people people still who want normal human relationships and when those people wanting normal human relationships go
And try to find a you know spouse or somebody to see in order to try to develop a long-term relationship they’re going to be met with something different which is the person who they’re talking to having been engrossed in the new world that we’ve created for ourselves
Is going to find that they have warped ideas of what a human relationship is you’re you’re going to be talking to a person who has never been told no you’re going to be talking to a person who has never had the reality that somebody might have a different opinion than them
Or somebody might disagree with them or somebody might not give them exactly what they want in every single moment they’re going to run into the reality that you know autonomous human beings people who have their own thoughts and their own desires and their own wishes and their own wants and their own dreams
For life are interacting with another person with a exact same characteristics and the nature of a relationship of these two worlds meeting will have been lost people will not understand what a relationship is and this also means that people are competing with something that’s inhuman now there was an interesting opinion
Piece on this in EV magazine which I’ll show you by the way uh EV magazine is a great magazine in my opinion for a lot of young women um they actually have pretty good values and they have some interesting discussions about some of the real world issues a lot of women
Face these days but they said this it’s an it’s an interesting opinion piece they say lately repca an AI chatbot originally offering mental health help to em and emotional support now runs ads for spicy selfies and hot roleplay it says that Eva AI invites users to create their dream companion while dream
Girlfriends promise a girl who exceeds your wildest desires the app in the app intimate uh is the name of the app by the way even offers hyper realistic voice calls with your virtual partner it says this might seem Niche and weird but it’s a it’s a fast growing Market all
Kinds of startups are releasing romantic chatbots capable of having explicit conversations and sending sexual photos meanwhile replica alone has already been downloaded more than 20 million times and even just one snapshot influencer Carolyn major makes $100,000 a week by charging users $1 a minute to chat with the AI version of
Herself now further in it says this just emphasizing how widespread this is but it says some of the problems I say for the R I wonder if an if AI girlfriends really do become as pervasive as online porn what this will mean for girls and young women who feel they need to
Compete with this most obvious to me is the ramping up of already unrealistic beauty standards which I know it’s criticized but it actually is a thing for young girls and they say now add to that a world of fully customizable AI girlfriends each with flawless Avatar faces and cartoonish body proportions
And I should note too this is not a new phenomenon you know a lot of you who watch crosswords regularly know that i’ I’m a fan of ancient literature you can actually find mentions of this in ancient literature that if a king for example sets the standard of you know
The wives that he chooses or the wife depending which culture you’re in that a lot of girls in the Kingdom will try to replicate the beauty standard shown by the queen and this led to some unhealthy things in the past there was one Chinese King for example who liked girls with
Incredibly small wastes and a lot of girls starved themselves and tortured themselves and actually made themselves very and healthy because they were trying to meet the standard of what the king desired and of course you find many situations like that I won’t go over all of them it led to actually in history
You know examples where people writers later pointed out that it created a negative social Trend and the problem you start facing with AI and unrealistic completely you know girlfriends or whatever else is that it’s something inhuman it’s not something that’s going to be attainable by a physical living
Breathing human person and if young men desire or demand that young girls meet something that is absolutely unattainable then it’s going to put women young women in a situation where they’re going to have to maybe get plastic surgery or physically alter their bodies in some ways in order to
Even have a normal relationship I know this is not going to be everybody but it will without a doubt be the case for some people and I should note too this is not just unrealistic beauty standards the woman is saying here she says what’s even more Sinister is the unrealistic
Emotional standards set by this app and think about it many people of course uh who’ve had relationships understand this you can completely love a person you can be deeply in love you can care about them in every way but you’ll still have conflicts and that’s part of the natural
Nature of a relationship and why is that it’s because when you open yourself up to a person on a deep enough level and you share things deep enough about yourself you create a type of vulnerability and the shared vulnerability that takes place within a relationship often does lead to Hearts
Getting hurt and emotions being damaged and so on now a lot of people are left with a choice you take a positive lesson from that and you grow as a person or you take a negative lesson from that and become wounded as a person without a doubt there are people who come out
Maybe uh a little beat up after after some some relationships come to an end but of course as that happens we also grow as individuals we come to understand human nature a little better we come to understand ourselves a little better we come to learn to control our
Emotions a little better and we start to understand that maybe you can’t let yourself be completely pulled in by what you feel in the moment people come to become more emotionally mature in other words over the course of time and this emotional maturity I would say is one of
The foundations of society if you have an adult who has learned to control themselves they’re not throwing themselves on the ground and throwing a temper tantrum like a like a you know toddler would whenever they don’t get something they want the nature of human interaction teaches us this but if you
Have a technology that maintains an infantile emotional response that maintains an infantile expectation of immediate satisfaction you’re going to have an infantile Society you’re going to have people incapable of managing their own emotions you’re going to have people used to you know immediate satisfaction everything they demand in
The moment and exact you know another person providing them with whatever they want and other words you’re going to have a society of abusive narcissists this is going to create in my opinion some of the worst type of narcissists you have ever encountered because every single relationship and expectations of a relationship are
Absolutely self-serving they’re not going to understand anything different now the writer here notes something else which is how can we compete with that and I I’d agree with her here they know she notes that already women in relationships complain about poor and addicted partners and I’ve seen examples
Of this who are not satisfied with actual intimacy already you have a lot of men becoming addicted to that and they don’t understand the nature of romantic relationships or human warmth they no longer understand the value in realworld Romance and she notes now we’re facing a future where guys could
Get addicted to emotional validation elsewhere sneaking Away by for some of that unparalleled devotion and worse what about young boys who grow up with this whose first sexual experience is chatting with AI women who never say no never argue never have original thoughts or an identity of their own and then
They try to date with a real girl there are already all these men on Reddit raving about how their AI girlfriends never argue complain or get bored of them while real girls continually disappoint now in my opinion there are going to be some real world issues with this including with what a relationship
Is and I’ll be talking more about how AI is and also our Workforce notably with AI predicate predicted to wipe out 40% % of the world’s jobs including some of the best jobs and of course that’s going to raise some real issues because what
Is a human being if we no longer have to work no longer have to have relationships what are we going to become as a society if we allow this to continue but all of this I’ll be talking about after the jump to Epic TV so that’s EPO tv.com those of you on
