>>105599815>How the fuck do people even get to these conclusions that using AI as a replacement for a real person is a good idea?It's how it's being "sold", which is a replacement for everything. He's right in that as long as it's functional it won't ghost you, but it has limited logic and you can gaslight it into saying anything you want. It's also going to feed you compliments and unlikely to be rude, unless you specifically set it to be that way. If all you're after from someone is a precise sort of experience and output then yeah, it's the right toy for you.
As long as you're respectful with it then it can be a good between-step for slowly learning how to not be a sperg anymore, but it's not meant to be where you stop as a full replacement. We're social tribal animals. Occasional contact with our own species to do monke shit is necessary for good mental/emotional function, and walking around outside to do monke shit is necessary for good emotional/physical function, and they're linked. AI convos provide only a small part of the experience, and it's pretty stunted.
>>105616905Also this. It's a useful crutch in the right situations, but that's only if the person is actually trying to get better. Kinda the same issue rehab and addiction places deal with. They give you a happy lie now in exchange for your health, and giving little long-term.
>>105616951>emotional dumpingGotta find the sweet spot between sharing nothing and trauma dumping, and being there for the other person. Varies by speaker/listener, too. Lots of people don't know how to prioritize information or how to time things, so either the relationship fades or they firehose spew TMI all at once. Takes practice if you're not used to it, like anything. (Aside, but it's depressing that shit's regressed to the point that people consider something psychologically necessary like friendships a "luxury" and can't find people or time for them anymore due to circumstances. We may have fucked up.)
