    Maybe he could get the chatbot to play not only his girlfriend but their kids as well. Then he can beam proudly as he shows people a chat window on his phone. You do you, buddy!

    “It could be a challenge at first because the kids will look at other children and their parents and notice there is a difference and that other children’s parents are human, whereas one of theirs is AI,” he stated matter of factly. “It will be a challenge, but I will explain to them, and they will learn to understand.”

    A little horrified, all I could think to ask him was, what would he tell his kids? “I’d tell them that humans aren’t really people who can be trusted … The main thing they should focus on is their family and keeping their family together, and helping them in any way they can.”

    These people need mental hospitals

      Okay but how would he even get children in the first scenario? Adoption probably won’t work since I doubt he would pass any sort of check.

      I’m not sure what a mental hospital is supposed to do. These people aren’t delusional. Not… per se. Rather the competently evaluated all the ways they could achieve something, be competent or successful or contribute or society either locally or at large, and also how they could enjoy their life. Then fully willingly went “nah, fuck it!”, took their brains out and tossed them into the bin.

      What do we do with them, volunteer them for Musk’s Mars colony? 😑

        It’s to sequester them from society in a humane manner while attempting to treat their delusions and resocialize them to be people

    Honestly disturbing and fascinating at the same time. People will bond with anything, yet some will dehumanize real people that are different. Can understand the temptation of a perfect partner, but this always-yes enabling chat bots are toxic. It would be one thing if these were true AI’s in the fully sentient/sapient sense, but this is just self-delusion.

    Another reason I hate how the term AI has been co-opted by tech bros, using the term to increase sales, poisoning the true meaning.

    The human brain has had no time at all to evolve resistance against manipulation by large language models that “talk” convincingly like a deeply effusive person. That means there are some people who are legitimately endangered by them.

    This shit’s going to get worse before it gets better. If it gets better.

    Don’t settle for adoption, dude! You go ahead and get your girlfriend pregnant, you can have the first human/ai hybrid kids! Just keep working on that. We’ll leave you to it.

    On one hand, being raised by an LLM is going to completely destroy the minds of children.

    On the other hand, an LLM is probably a better parent than a lot of the weirdos having kids.

    This is something only someone with severe mental issues would do/say. I hope they get the help they need.
