This was probably an okay idea terribly implemented. GenAI creators on social media kind of sense. Neurosama, an AI streamer, is massively popular. Silllytavern which lets people make and chat with characters or tell stories with LLMs feeds Openrouter 20 million messages a day, which is a fraction of it's totally usage.

Is "engagement" the primary metric of modern life?
not the primary metric of modern life but I would agree it’s the primary metric of modern consumer facing business
My friend recently showed me what instagram is currently like as I’ve been off of it for years. It’s honestly so enshittified now! Like he just kept scrolling and there 0 posts from friends - just influencers, brain rot and ads.
Might be a good name for a competing service.
“Get BrainRot on the iOS and Android app stores and start feeling important today!”

This only proves that there's enough people on the planet around that bit of the bell curve to develop an audience.
I don't know whether to be amused or furious. They're trying to create personal social interaction with a non-person without real intelligence, conscience or morals. So they can fool people into emotional attachments and learn more about how to sell things to us. Goddamnit. I kinda feel that should be not only illegal, but just short of a capitol crime.
Only if by "just short" you mean they get life without possibility of parole or pardon in max security and never see another screen as long as they live.
I hope the stock gets destroyed next earnings when people realize they've been spending all this money on AI all to not ship a single meaningful feature nor derive any revenue leveraging it. They did the exact same thing with the whole "Metaverse" thing
“I’ve have negative interactions with people online so I’d rather give up and talk to nice robots instead.” We are doomed as a society.
Letting people talk their thought processes through without conflict seems more productive than them prefiltering what they want to say. You can get so conditioned to expect negative feedback that you refuse to follow your curiosity.
That is called hiring a licensed therapist not chatting with Black Queer Mamma.
You know what AI profiles I want more of? Clueless grandma/grandpa that accepts scammer calls and waste their time. Such as UK's O2 Daisy: https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/o2-unveils-daisy-the-ai-gra...
Imagine AI calling AI and wasting each others time :D
What I'm saying is that it the AI to me illustrates how much of a self-own drawing these cultural battle lines is. If you choose to describe yourself by the colour of your skin first and foremost then you're telling everyone that you think that's relevant information which is, well.. the entire problem - you're telling everyone around you that you think it has predictive power. But that's what racists are, people who…
> But that's what racists are, people who think the race of a person has predictive power with regard to their nature, culture etc. I didn't think that's how the term racist is normally used. A definition: a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group Big difference.
To be fair, how the term is normally used depends entirely on the group within which the term is being used. For many, racism is strictly “prejudice + power”, which logically concludes in the [in my opinion rather warped] idea that some groups are incapable of racism, which is at odds with the definition you’re citing
It was likely a hallucination, right? You didn’t check to confirm? But this is a solved problem that Meta chose to implement poorly. It can be done right. I just asked o1 “create a diversity report for openai” and its very first paragraph is: > Below is a *sample* diversity report for OpenAI. Please note that the numbers, programs, and initiatives are provided as *illustrative examples*. This report is not an officia…
Yes, and I suspect that the very first line of the chat has something equally lawyer-y to serve the same purpose.
