#172There 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…

Uh, no. This is false. It’s just part of a broader trend to stop using ‘master’ due to some people finding that term offensive.

#173Since it's using ChatGPT, won't the chat be very censored and totally SFW?

This is awful and disgusting indeed. It is telling that the author defaulted to girlfriend. It shows utter alienation from what is ethically expected in or time.
This is a case in point of a morally uneducated person messing with technology that should not be available to such people.
This is evidence that AI needs to be regulated before some more talented and equally morally inept does so.

#175Company 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.
Especially once it has a visual element and a sexual element.
I mean I already think of chatGPT as a friend in a sense. I couldn't have less interest in a fake girlfriend but I also wouldn't think onlyfans would work either.
There are so many elements with this to bilk lonely guys. Personally, I have thought of so many ideas for this in the last 10 minutes but fuck that. The whole idea is pretty gross and sad all around. Especially for the people making this.
To me, someone who works on this is basically pathetic and a sad excuse for a human relative to the other things they could spend their time on.

> The fact that he called the master branch "main" is pretty sleazy too! If you've lived under a rock - "main" and "side" are terms from the pick-up artist community
Maybe you've lived under a rock for a while, but git is using "main" as the default branch-name for some time now, having dismissed "master" for political reasons.

#177Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think of it as simply entertainment. It won't replace real human interaction with a partner but it's a fun consequence free environment. Tv shows act out dramatic scenes that would be traumatic and have real consequences if you experienced them in real life, but on the screen you get to play around with the idea in your head in a safe area and maybe learn something in the process.
People already have unhealthy parasocial relationships with influencers. It seems clear that people (lonely/depressed people especially) will overdose on this sort of thing once it is developed, commercialised, and less bleeding edge. It's vapour filling the place of human connection. It's stevia. It's not going to give you cancer, but it's still unhealthy and will certainly exceed the parameters of entertainment.

Sounds much less exploitative and unhealthy than the streamer/influencer parasocial relationships these people are probably currently invested in.

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…
People don't pop out old and lonely out of thin air. Don't you think that there were several real people who tried to help him and deal with him during this person's life? It is naïve to think that AI will make any beneficial difference. If these old folks won't listen or take advice from real people, they won't listen to a computer. Everybody reaches a certain age in life where they will be completely set in their ways and never change. For some it comes earlier or later in life.

#180I'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. On the other, I've already found myself asking ChatGPT questions that I would have asked on a forum/discord or even a co…
By interacting with LLMs, I've realized that as frequently as I interact with others, I'm not actually having many deep, meaningful, or personal interactions; they're mostly professional, and that's bled over into my personal life. Because of how much time I spend on them relative to myself, I don't get to stretch the sides of me that I would if I weren't holed up working, and I've found it hard to verbalize that los…
Got any recommendations for non-neutered local models that perform well on an M1? I've been playing with some of the recent 7B and 13B models from the TheBloke on HuggingFace and they are not bad but not great.
