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.
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…

“her” is not a particularly uplifting movie.

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.

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.
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.
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?
