Maybe because (1) “under a certain age and bodyweight” and (2) women who are in monogamous relationships but use Romance as a kind of escapism.
So like... only a portion of women. How is this any different from men? Again, this doesn't at all explain why this is so heavily heterosexual male skewed. It's not like a significant portion of women are hot 20somethings-- if anything, the proportion is skewed older compared to men simply because women live longer. I bet grandma would spend hella social security to be doted on by a hot shirtless lawyer.
Young people jump on new trends. Young men have problems finding a date, young women generally doesn't. Old women have problems finding a date, but old women like other old people don't jump on new tech things like AI boyfriends at the same rate as young people do.

How does one discern between undesirable and desirable attention? Asking for a friend.
Just be handsome and rich.

#154The Blade Runner 2049 girlfriend style may be the future, and I wonder what effects it will have on society. In a decade or two, we may have AI entities with minds so lifelike that you can't differentiate them from real people. You might wear AR goggles that allow you to see them anywhere in your home, wear a suit that lets you feel their touch and engage in intimate interactions. This perfect AI partner, tailored to…
"Consider the future generations, increasingly isolated and reliant on virtual interactions, and it's hard to imagine how they could resist such a prospect."
What future generations :)

#155I'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" fu…
Graphic novel? How do you maintain consistency between different images? When you generate two images with different settings but with the same character inside?
Or do you not generate full images? I've read that one technique is to generate a character sheet, and then using traditional graphics editors to paste the characters onto images of different settings. But that may not be a good fit.

#156Damn, it kinda feels like that Clamp predicted future to the some point with Chobits - it just the tech took a different form https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chobits
We are nowhere near Chobits-like intelligence.

So you're saying you don't expect to change as a person between the ages of 22 and 72?
Certainly. In a regressive sense.
Well you might. But there are people around you bettering themselves.
But be honest. Do you really expect to regress in your career from 22 to 40? Most people develop a lot professionally during those times.
Re: AI girlfriend ads are flooding Instagram and TikTok
#158I for one am interested why it's specifically AI girlfriend ads and not AI boyfriend ads. Heterosexual women are huge consumers of e.g. dating simulators, romance books, et al. that envision perfect men, bad boys with sweet hearts, wealthy powerful high-earning men who somehow always make time for the beloved. You'd think there'd be just as many AI boyfriend ads-- what teenaged girl wouldn't pay huge money to date $p…
Why does it feel more exploitative in my brain to create an AI boyfriend to manipulate women than to drown men in pornography and sexual advertising.

Women can more readily get the kind of attention they want, with minimal effort. Getting emotionally invested in an AI seems to me like it would go hand in hand with giving up on human relationships. I'm pretty sure men are more likely to do that than women.

Thank you for speaking what’s on my mind.
It’s shameful that this self-deprecating idea seems to have made it to the mainstream, and even worse that young men are believing it.

You find this "Women don't have this problem! They can have a relationship whenever they want" sentiment in so many conversations on Hacker News, and it's so unempathetic. The premise is not true for many women. And even if it were, it's not necessarily any easier to get attention from someone you are interested in yourself. And women have to deal with social anxiety, fears of making themselves vulnerable, self-confi…
I'm empathetic to the struggles faced by women. That said, I also realize that those struggles are different than the ones faced by men.
Yes, I believe that women experience this particular problem less than men do, but that doesn't mean that women don't have just as many problems on balance.
The patriarchy is alive and well, and I'm pretty sure it's still harder to be a woman than it is to be a man.
But, if you want to examine why men are expected to be more likely to pay for intimate relationships with AI, I think this area is relevant to the discussion.
