The family responding that they’re perfectly fine with AI but just wish it hadn’t lied, like… we’re fucked. Not even direct victims of AI’s bullshit understand or care about how fucked up and these corporate generative AI technologies are… again, fucked.
Extremely misleading headline. He, “never returned”, because he tripped and fell in a parking lot. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the fall injuries days later. The headline makes it sounds like the AI killed him or created some plot to do so.
Putting the 2 statements side by side implies they are connected. For the media illiterate it can be very misleading.
Initially I wanted to defend the headline because it’s not ‘literally’ suggesting any AI wrongdoing, but I can say that because I know headlines are written to be this way so I know what to dismiss. It’s a manipulative practice and that’s a shame
As much as I want to clown on this 76 yr old man trying to cheat on his wife with a younger woman, the fact that a chatbot did this is terrifying.
Welp, back to bars people. You know. Actual interaction.
Damn ai already started taking us out?
Taking out the stupid or mentally ill(who are different, and I do feel a little bad putting them in with “stupid”, but these are the clear primary victims of the current AI lies).
I’m sure we’ll get it way out of hand and the bots will start getting properly clever but right now, like, the fuck guys.
Are fucked are we that GenAI chatbots have been around for 15min and we already have WAY too many stories of people falling over themselves to get into bad situations?
Like, they know they’re fake from the outset and then just get so swept up in it that they’ll believe anything. Some are not 100%, mentally, like Bue here but others are seemingly ok and they still fall for it?! What the hell?!
Loneliness is also a thing, and I’d guess it’s rising. Falls under mental health also I guess. I also don’t relate, but we can look at the history of sex tourism, ‘mail order brides’ , dating sites etc, scams in general and there is a fair bit of cross over maybe. Add to the mix these pseudo intelligent LLMs that seem to serve to please and here we are. What I don’t get is how users falling for them aren’t having the bubble burst by the context issues and inconsistent coherence. Perhaps loneliness and other mental issues result in us hearing/seeing what we want to. Self reinforced illusion to fullfill some sort of need. Just speculating tbh.
I think my main thing with it, because largely I totally get what you’re saying, is that there is nothing that makes it not obvious how fake it all is. Even a mail-order bride is a real person that someone could hope would actually love them given some time.
We’ve been looking for how we can get our boomers to give up the high paying jobs they are refusing to retire from and the real estate they have been hoarding like dragons and we finally have the answer: AI catfishing is here to save us.
I don’t think that’ll work how you think it’ll work
It is like holding up a mirror. We get to see who we truly are.
