Company that nails this product is going to be very rich and a strange world is ahead of us. Calling it now within 6 years this will be as normal as Tinder. Most of peoples social interactions are between aluminum and glass sheets. I don’t believe it’s going to matter what’s on the other side soon.

yup somekind dating sim + gpt4 + micropayments will be huge kinda evil but huge.

There is something I don't understand (from a tech point of view). Why call it GirlfriendGPT if 99% of the code is generic code for a fancy whatever-you-want-it-to-be chatGPT? The only thing that makes the answers "girlfriend-like" is this file https://github.com/EniasCailliau/GirlfriendGPT/blob/main/src... So, it should be tremendously easy to turn GirlfriendGPT into "BestFriendGPT" or "LinusTorvaldsGPT" or whatever…

> LinusTorvaldsGPT I lol'ed

Someone, please, do it

It already doesn't matter too much, if you look at how many people are just screaming into the twitter void with barely any interaction. Getting AI feedback rather than none at all would be an improvement for many.

The concerns mentioned in this thread are very valid, but there is a second side to this as well. There are many lonely people, be it for depression, anxiety, inability to create social contacts, living in exclusion, being old and having no descendants, … They are largely invisible to the rest of the society. Seems to me that this technology might make their lives more bearable.

Blow up dolls for grandpa, charming.

There are very few real-world-tasks where GPT-4 is worse at reasoning than the average person, right now only long-term memory, latency, TTS and STT makes virtual people suck. Once that is solved we should of course give them to old lonely disabled people.

I once met one, and it is extremely depressing. He was even rich, but had no idea how to get his life in order, and nobody cared about him. A helpful AI might tell him to go to alcohol therapy, hire people to clean up his house, explain bureacracy... That would help a lot.

Do we think a Boyfriend version will ever come along? Interesting that I've seen so much talk about AI girlfriends but there's a quiet assumption that straight women won't be interested in this technology. Is that correct?

Do you think it's more appropriate for me to rebrand to AI_Companion?

I think it is appropriate to thoroughly consider the ethical implications of whatever you are doing, with the support of one of the many researchers interested in ethics
