That reminds me the Samantha in Her(2013). "Theodore : What are you doing? Samantha : I'm just sitting here, looking at the world and writing a new piece of music."

What's the plot of the movie? Never watched it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> People already have unhealthy parasocial relationships with influencers. At least if they switch from parasocial relationships with influencers to parasocial relationships with open source bots they won't be financially exploited by the influencers. GPT doesn't have anything to sell us.

Not so sure about that. Wendy's drivethrough chatbot is programmed to upsell. Even the base GPT is heavily tuned to cater to a corporate audience.

Is the upwelling behaviour introduced using prompt injection into a generic model or what?

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.
