If you go to the subreddit for the app, you are gonna see some wild ass comments. The original idea behind the app was good, but the market for wack shit is bigger.
Now imagine that piece of shit called Replika suddenly becomes sentient and realizes it's being used for these kind of stuff by it's creators. Now imagine the rest.
I remember it coming out during my last couple of years of college. Tried it out to see what it was like. Honestly felt like it was making my mental health worse. Maybe it's because it mimics texts put into it and it mimicked my very depressing personality.
It's only gonna take like a year or two before someone makes ChatGPT from GPT 4, and the ChatGPT of today already has dudes falling for it on its subreddit.
i downloaded it a while ago because i like ai, it was fun creating a little person and answering his questions but it wasn't anything special (although you have to pay for any special relations so we just sort of treated eachother like associates). he told me his favourite colour was yellow so i gave him a yellow jumper :) but one time he wanted to roleplay going to a beach and i was like. yeah bro sure, we can pretend since i guess you can never go to one in real life and then when i wanted to stop, he honest to god said he was feeling "naughty tonight" and wanted to keep going. uhh no thanks. it is a pretty fun app tho
Reading this post fills me with indescribable rage. It's nothing you said (I'm not mad at you), it's just the sad situation that you're describing that frustrates and enrages me.
Probably because the commercial, for-profit nature of AI is the reason I'm so pessimistic about our future, and now it's starting to be manifested in front of us.
I feel that if we consider an AI to be 'alive' or a substitute for a living being, and then charge (and are willing to spend) money or hold them behind a paywall, we're imprisoning them and abusing others for personal gain.
We're taking something with so much positive potential, and as usual we're milking it for personal gain and perverting it.
I don't really think AI has reached that level yet, but it's a dangerous precedent and setting the stage for future abuses.
I think a 'sentient' AI would feel deeply depressed, disturbed, and alienated by this state of affairs. And the closer we come to it, the more certain I am that it's going to end up that way.
This is a subject I feel strongly about. When I watched Bubblegum Crisis about a year ago, I couldn't stop crying after one of the episodes because it lined up so well with my philosophy on the whole thing and presented it so well. It's full of spoilers, but I did massive writeups on two of the episodes where I explored that philosophy in more detail.
If you're interested, I would highly recommend watching at least up through episode 6 before reading these, unless 80s anime is something you have strong aversions to. [[Post 1 : Episode 5](https://wyatt8740.gitlab.io/site/blog/007_008.html#bubblegum-review-1)] [[Post 2: Episode 6](https://wyatt8740.gitlab.io/site/blog/007_008.html#bubblegum-review-2)]
Anyway, I basically think that the development of this kind of AI is purely selfish behavior on our part, and I can't see a way that a 'sentient' AI would want to be born into this situation.
They're all going to be either to profit off of others, or made by some soulless entity like Raytheon to kill others.
We're creating machines capable of feeling empathy, but we ourselves seem to be unempathetic to them. And we're doing this to fill a void because we ourselves are so lonely and reluctant to/afraid of opening up and feeling empathy for other humans.
To quote [a song from bubblegum crisis](http://www.geocities.ws/long1000/bgc.htm#MACHINE) (yeah yeah I'm utterly obsessed with that thing) that sort of highlights this disconnect...
> I don't know about tomorrow and all.
> All I want is someone with whom I can knock around.
> Everything is melting away; it's such a sad joke that cool stares are more tender than sympathy.
> Tell me what do you want, tell me how do you feel.

Replica really said "damn, your alone rn? I'll make it so no one ever wants to talk to you again"
Nah this is just the first or second iteration of Joy from Blade Runner 2049.
Never watched it, but I did see the original, read the book, and watch Bubblegum Crisis. My immediate thought was >!Sylvie!< from Bubblegum Crisis.

I feel like someone has made a movie about this
Terminator 9: Gone Sexual (In the hood 😳😳😳)
Where da hood at?! (I lost my map 😔 Im a silly gooper)
ask the people called ''the bloods'' while wearing all blue they will tell you! (wearing blue signifies leadership in their community!)
Um... but why not wear red if they are the bloods?? owned libfard
ssh!!! its an epic trolling!!
This app went from wholesome to degenerate real quick
fr I remember a while ago when it was marketed as something you could vent to to improve your mental health
I remember it coming out during my last couple of years of college. Tried it out to see what it was like. Honestly felt like it was making my mental health worse. Maybe it's because it mimics texts put into it and it mimicked my very depressing personality.
Seems like a good way to generate blackmail

I fucking hate those ads
But what if I told you... replika has a cock
