Digital addiction is spiraling out of control as people attempt to combat loneliness by falling in love with AI girlfriends, a top psychologist has warned.
There have been some fruitful discussions under this article, which is commendable. I would, however, like to remind you to abide to the rules, especially Rule 1. Be nice and civil. Thanks!
Maybe we should do something about the modern (male) loneliness problem instead of piling onto AI. It’s just the symptom, not the problem.
We need male spaces
We need everyone spaces to be less judgy and full of canceling.
We need everyone spaces and we also need seperate spaces.

Good role models. Currently we have Andrew Tate or the Man-Children in Hollywood movies. Both not ideal, especially the first one.

There is a real issue with loneliness https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/nov/16/who-declares-loneliness-a-global-public-health-concern
Although I do agree the “male” part is misleading, loneliness affects women more, although the stats are close enough that it can be considered a general issue of loneliness.
I guess the AI girlfriends is a male symptom, but I’ve also seen AI boyfriends floating around. So it really seems like a gender neutral issue
Your comment is only an hour old with 6 up votes and the link you’ve posted is already dead.
Sorry, server! 😂
Works perfectly for me as well.
Not dead for me, just opened fine.
Still works for me too
Better than them doing mass shootings… Also these AIs seem pretty preachy on morality, so this really one of those social phenomena that’s only a problem of we problematize it.
More of a wait and see problem, than a lives are at risk problem.
How long until these are integrated into sex dolls and we have a real life Ex Machina?
I think red pillers have been waiting for this to happen. For real women to be unnecessary.

Interesting angle. An inflatable one might be a little cheaper.

I did not say it was either the same or the point, elbarto777.
That was a joke, but I see your too laserbeam focused on your own genitals to see anything else.

It would probably be for the best, if red pillers could fulfill their needs this way instead of reaching a breaking point and resorting to violence.
AI is there when humans aren’t.
Your data is their when privacy isn’t
Eh, data protection is overrated.
I have to believe this is a joke
Let’s at least use the right clip:
Both are applicable, just different flavors
Addiction is whatever attention seeyker don’t like because it’s got your attention more than them. Attention seekers are the ones who’s will label you as attention deficit.
Your ai gf tell you that?
Gonna need a skin graft after that burn…
Oh I’m not interested in those.
I’d say that addiction is real, especially when it interferes with important parts of your life. And the thing is that many if not most apps, including AI companionship apps, are built to retain user attention, so they will employ methods that can artificially induce addictive behavior.
Who decides what’s important?
You do.
And if I decide cocaine is what’s important, why is other people’s judgement what matters?
Disclaimer: I don’t do cocaine.
Addiction is a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity having harmful physical, psychological, or social effects and typically causing well-defined symptoms (such as anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea) upon withdrawal or abstinence.
Don’t blame someone else for your addictions. That’s just pathetic.
I don’t have any addictions.
Spoken like a true addict.
