          because of the power imbalance. if you run them locally they’re dependent on you to live. it’s like marrying a pet.

            I’m not sure, if I would like to run a potential e-gf on a remote server, trusting a company to keep the service live

            If people are that emotionally involved, it seems just naturally, that they like…wanna live together

            And the power imbalance will always be there.

              see that’s the problem. if they can not exist without infrastructure that you either control or pay someone to control, they are 100% dependent on you. if we assume the agi idiots are actually right for a moment and autocomplete can indeed achieve sentience, if you fell out of love they would still not be able to leave without your consent.

      remember, luddites were not anti progress, they were pro workers rights. They broke infrastructure because factory owners refused to increase pay along with the increase in productivity.

    That’s funny. As if we can afford kids. One trip to the grocery store costs more than I make in a day - and that’s after successfully negotiating for a higher wage. I can only imagine how much prices will skyrocket by the end of the year (without wages rising to meet them.)

    Best of luck to anyone trying to feed a growing family.

    Acceptable boomer shit in my opinion. Have sex with as many robots as you want, but don’t become emotionally dependent on something that doesn’t have emotions, thoughts, or feelings.

      Might want to read up on the ELIZA effect, I don’t think everyone will have the mental willpower to avoid that scenario.

        That’s interesting. I was unfamiliar with the term and circumstances of the ELUZA effect, but I guess I know people attribute human characteristics to computers. Maybe some people will fall for it, but society shouldn’t accept it. AI character chat bots are already doing damage to vulnerable people.

      something that doesn’t have emotions, thoughts or feelings

      Saying things like this will be considered intolerant

    I’ve thought of this often. I’m eager to find out what my boomer prejudices will be. I’m curious.

      I already know a couple of mine:

      • Wireless fucking sucks
      • Bring back the headphone jack
      • Apps suck
      • E-mail is superior to every single communication method

        email is awful and I dread it every time I have to use it it exactly replicates letters in all their awful overly wordy overly formal tone I can’t stand them I’ll agree on the apps though wireless is great though I hate wires
