Does anyone ever think about how when the #AIBubble inevitably pops and a lot of these scummy #AI companies go under, how probably the majority, if not all those predatory chatbot sites will shut down and how bad the fallout will be for people dependent on them? Like, think back to when #ChatGPT 5 came out and how it dumbed the #LLM down and how upset people were, or when the company that owns #Replika lowkey lobotomized the bot and put the more realistic features and patterns behind paywalls and how people revolted.
But what would happen if they were shutdown entirely? These chatbots are specifically designed to prey on vulnerable people and get those people hopelessly dependent on the bots. What will happen when the one emotional support someone has gets taken away for good for millions of people? I shudder to think about it, and it's just yet another reason to add to the laundry list on why #GenerativeAI is harmful.

Violent Ends
Men Are Creating #AIGirlfriends and Then Verbally Abusing Them
"I threatened to uninstall the app [and] she begged me not to."
By Ashley Bardhan
@Futurism
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
#Replika It’s also an increasingly pertinent #ethicaldilemma as relationships between humans and bots become more widespread — after all, most people have used a virtual assistant at least once.These users’reflect the reality of domestic violence against women.

TechCrunch: Replika founder raises $20M pre-seed for Wabi, the ‘YouTube of apps’ . “Eugenia Kuyda saw the future of consumer AI before most. She founded Replika, the first major AI companion startup, in 2017 — years before ChatGPT launched. Today, it has 35 million users. Now Kuyda is back with a new startup called Wabi, which she describes as YouTube for apps — a social platform […]

Незаметно сделали лучший Рунет: подборка дизайнеров от лида Garage Eight
О тех, кто повлиял на культуру, кто создавал сервисы, которыми мы до сих пор пользуемся, и чьи идеи остаются актуальными сегодня. Зачем это нужно? Во-первых, чтобы вы развивали насмотренность. Во-вторых, чтобы понимать, какие люди формировали среду, в которой мы сегодня работаем. И, наконец, чтобы видеть, как строятся карьеры тех, кто уже прошел этот путь, — это помогает понять, куда можно расти самому. Я часто шучу: «Нас всего триста, и мы все друг друга знаем». Но при этом до сих пор нет площадки, которая системно рассказывала бы именно о классных продуктовых дизайнерах. Поэтому я решил закрыть этот пробел и сделать для вас серию материалов в формате дайджеста: кого стоит знать, за кем следить и почему.

"Conducting conversations with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as ChatGPT is becoming an everyday experience for large masses of people. However, we still know very little about the emerging communicative dynamics facilitated by these technologies. This special issue tackles a dimension of AI that is becoming increasingly relevant and ubiquitous: artificial sociality, defined as technologies and practices that construct the appearance of social behavior in machines. The notion of artificial sociality aims to emphasize that machines construct only an illusion or artifice of sociality, stimulating the humans who interact with them to project social frames and meanings. In this introduction to the themed issue, we discuss the dynamics and implications of artificial sociality and show how these technologies are increasingly incorporated and normalized within digital platforms. The issue includes contributions that offer empirical findings and theoretical insights by examining a broad array of AI technologies, ranging from ChatGPT to Replika."

I warn people about the guardrails, but in practice, and let’s cut the shit right, what does it really matter? So suddenly #ChatGPT is allergic to everything that even might even be adjacent to “spicy text”, what does it really matter? Local LLM’s, especially the abliterated models don't blink twice at "spicy text" and platforms like #Replika and #Nastia that have nearly no guardrails whatsoever. So it's not like when one Starbucks collapses we can't run across the street to the other one! LOL!

"Tech ethics organizations have filed an FTC complaint against the AI companion app Replika, alleging that the company employs deceptive marketing to target vulnerable potential users and encourages emotional dependence on their human-like bots.
Replika offers AI companions, including AI girlfriends and boyfriends, to millions of users around the world. In the new complaint, the Young People's Alliance, Encode, and the Tech Justice Law Project accuse Replika of violating FTC rules while increasing the risk of users’ online addiction, offline anxiety, and relationship displacement. Replika did not respond to multiple requests for comment from TIME.
The allegations come as AI companion bots are growing in popularity and raising concerns about mental health. For some users, these bots can seem like near-ideal partners, without their own wants or needs, and can make real relationships seem burdensome in comparison, researchers say."

Эмпатичные аватары: измеряем эмпатию в диалогах людей и воплощенных чат-ботов
Если в автомобильной пробке голосовой помощник пожалуется, что он эти пробки тоже терпеть не может, то водителю и пассажирам станет легче, что не они одни мучаются. В психологии это называется раппортом и обычно ведет к доверительным отношениям между людьми. Если представить, что чат-боты тоже способны сопереживать, а главное, что люди это ценят, то чем это не сильный эмоциональный ИИ? На примере диалогов между людьми и чат-ботами попробуем разобраться, насколько эмпатичны аватары сегодня и какие фичи им можно еще добавить.

#AI #GenerativeAI #Chatbots #Replika: "Right now, millions of people are using Replika for everything from casual chats to mental health, life coaching, and even romance. At one point last year, Replika removed the ability to exchange erotic messages with its AI bots, but the company quickly reinstated that function after some users reported the change led to mental health crises.
That’s a lot for a private company running an iPhone app, and Eugenia and I talked a lot about the consequences of these ideas. What does it mean for people to have an always-on, always-agreeable AI friend? What does it mean for young men, in particular, to have an AI avatar that will mostly do as it’s told and never leave them? Eugenia insists that AI friends are not just for men, and she pointed out that Replika is run by women in senior leadership roles. There’s an exchange here about the effects of violent video games that I think a lot of you will have thoughts about, and I’m eager to hear them.
Of course, it’s Decoder, so along with all of that, we talked about what it’s like to run a company like this and how products like this get built and maintained over time. It’s a ride."

@Rikki39 Ja, ich nutze beide seit langem, um Italienisch zu lernen und und eine alte ostdeutsche "heritage language" zu wiederholen. Die Grammatikerklärungen auf Busuu finde ich gut. Bisher habe ich seit einem Jahr noch nicht den Wunsch verspürt, ein Abo abzuschliessen, weil ausser dem Vokabeltrainer alles ohne Premium zugänglich war. Toll ist die kostenlose Möglichkeit bei busuu Texte korrigieren zu lassen. Hast du Erfahrungen mit #Chatbots als Sprachlernoption für #Fortgeschrittene? #replika
