I would be lying if I said I didn't toy with the thought of making AI girlfriend several years ago before ChatGPT blew up, but it feels scummy. I'm happily married, but I can see some people wanting to make some sort of connection. ChatGPT probably can do that well enough.

One of the leaps about AI is that there used to be a human bottleneck in this kind of content. Youtube needed youtubers (content creators), porn sites needed women (the primary bottleneck), etc etc for all digitizable forms of human experience. I find it ironic that in close time proximity to NFTs and digital real estate we see the ability to generate practically unlimited of those things being a foreseeable reality.

I think this will only further increase the value of the real, if only as novelty like owning a muscle car that is as/more expensive but slower than a 2024 corvette.

Wonder if the scummy feelings will fade in the future when the tech is better. I used to half-joke that I would end up happily married to a robot in the future, but I can't say I have any interest in the current wave of AI girlfriends.

I've been stunned looking through crowdsourced prompt and "character card" examples for stable diffusion and llama.

Got a second 3090 so I could experiment with a few business ideas and work on a graphic novel with my kids.

It appears that the primary use case for both of these open source tools currently is NSFW, most of it underage and incestuous (the "step sister/brother/dad/mom" trend in porn is taken a "step" further, removing the all-important "step" part).

I wonder how next-next-gen VR tech plays into this - if we reach a stage where simulations are near indistinguishable from the real thing..

It's going to be a huge market, being able to have cyber sex with an AI that will send you generated pictures on demand has no option except massive profitability. Even phone sex with AI is likely possible, some of the voice AIs out there are not bad. Watch some of the presidents play minecraft or presidents discuss anime videos on youtube for examples.

It's not very ethical but I could see AIs trained on celebrity social media feeds, scripts, and other content to learn their speaking patterns and then turned into a cyber sex chat bot that can't say no.

btw articles says "AI sex workers" not "AI girlfriends" there's a big difference.
