This is downright terrifying…

    I know it’s crazy, but I can absolutely understand this feeling. I had recently married Abby in Stardew Valley and was starting to make friends with the other villagers. I did something the game wasn’t expecting, and gave Seby a loved gift on his birthday, and then quickly triggered an event where we kissed! (FWIW, I think this behavior has been fixed and you can’t do this on the current patch.)

    I still feel bad thinking about that Abigail that I accidentally cheated on, and I haven’t loaded that save again. It’s been years; SV 1.4 wasn’t even out yet.

    So, despite how much I dislike all this “AI” hype, I really do sympathize for the users that feel like they’ve lost a relationship.

    I wonder how many messages you’d have to send to your GPT-partner in a year to spend more water/energy than it takes to keep a human alive?

    Bleak.

    One of the great things about my screws coming loose is that I’m actually happy alone. I wish everyone could be.

    That said, this was inevitable. AI is programmed to kiss the user’s ass, and most of these women have probably been treated pretty badly by their romantic partners over the course of their lives, which makes it far easier to fall into this trap of humanizing a soulless AI.

    I tried gpt5 lastnight and I don’t know if it was just me but these people are going to be in shambles if they try to recreate their “boyfriend”.

    It would forget previous prompts within the same conversation. It felt like with each response it was like starting a new chat. I gave it a very basic prompt of “walk me through the steps of building my own one page website in basic HTML and CSS” and when I would ask a couple of follow up questions to either clarify something or explain a step in another way it would forget what we were trying to accomplish (how to build a one page website) or if I told it “something didn’t work” to try and fix the problem it would then forget what we were even trying to do.

    At some points it was almost out right dismissive of the problem and it felt like it was trying to make me go away.

    Again maybe it was just me but it felt like a massive step backwards.

      Forgets what you were talking about. Need to include step-by-step directions to get what you want. Gets distracted easily.

      This is just adhd gamer boyfriend with extra steps.

    If they really truly loved their 4o they’d pay for the API access model which is still there, and use a leaked prompt to resurrect them.

    I’m almost tempted to set up a simple gateway to it and become rich, but for the fact that it seems like probably a dick move…

        Blaming alternatives/escapism has always seemed like a knee-jerk reaction to me. Similar head-space as when we used to blame TV. Particularly because when I leave the house I don’t see much of any room for socialization (though that’s where I live, sparse plus I have issues stacked up). It’d even be a hassle to go bowling alone and it’d not be worth the price for me either.

        Then again, I definitely think there’s a valid argument that this is worse after people begin to consider it a relationship… because at that point they might consider too much close conversation to being unfaithful to their AI.

          The whole point of reversing loneliness is to not go bowling alone. Make a couple friends and go with them. You’ll find you’ve been missing something substantial.

          It’s the making friends that’s challenging, and we definitely have -the internet -on smartphones -and social media to blame for it. We used to know how to talk to people, which is how you make friends.

          The number of men who report “no close friends” has gone from 3% in 1990 to 15% today. That’s so sad, my heart aches for these men. I started a social club for men in my city. This is my issue.
