I'm very torn on this. On one hand, I think that personalized OSS AIs are the future from a pure utility perspective, and it will inevitably be "more fun" for them to have personalities. I also think that if someone is deriving joy from something and not harming anyone else, who I am to judge them.

This is the best feature of ChatGPT for me, and the reason I pay for it.

More interesting, possibly, is the project that this is forked from (by the same developer), which is a general-purpose framework for LangChain Agents: https://github.com/steamship-packages/langchain-agent-produc...

I'm curious, though. It appears to be using the OpenAI API, which means that at some point it has to have an API key, but I can't see any sign in the code of where it expects to get this from.

I made a Tinder bot in the first month of GPT-3's public API release. The ethics made me squirm so I always asked for permission to turn it on and told people when it was on and off. The models moral alignment was way more "friendly" back then so turned it into some pretty saucy chats. The model was better than me at replying, still single though.

(It was simply holding onto the last 10-20 messages and injecting it into the prompt)

I am not worried about an evil, monstrous AGI suddenly emerging and blowing away humanity, but I do worry about things like this. Hyperpornography seems a squarely apocalyptic trend.

Currently many for-profit companies try to do the same, but additionally emotionally manipulate the user into giving them as much money as possible. (To not even mention automated catfishing...)

This project is much better, but still might turn out badly. Hard to say...

While I completely understand this sentiment, I would be wary of Service as a Software Substitute being your alternative to human contact. If we start feeling (something akin to) genuine human connection to a service, the company providing the service has a large amount leverage over us. The scene from Blade Runner 2049 comes to mind. Additionally, the emotional connection might make us an order of magnitude more vulnerable to brainwashing and psyops.

This. While not me personally, there is obviously a market (Japan comes to mind) for virtual, non-human based interactions and relationships.

While it seems pretty clear to me subjectively that removing human interaction from your life has a negative effect it's still desired by some and they're entitled to that.

it's the same; nothing new per se. peoples sex-lives are often not limited to monogamous act's of procreation.
