Feels like sam secretly wishes this to be true

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think it's secret. A lot of OpenAI's business strategy is to warn of the danger of their own project as a means of hyping it.

OpenAI, despite having produced a pretty novel product, doesn't really have a sound business model. LLMs are actually expensive to run. The energy and processing is not cheap, and it's really not clear that they produce something of value. It's a cool party trick, but a lot of the use cases just aren't cost effective at this point. That makes their innovation hard to commercialize. So OpenAI promotes itself like online clickbait games.

You know the ones that are like, 'WARNING: This game is so sexy it is ADDICTIVE! Do NOT play our game if you don't want to CUM TOO HARD!'

That's OpenAI's marketing strategy.

Creator of AI: "This shit is super dangerous. We need to be regulated. Please regulate us so no one else can construct an AI!"

It's just trying to squash competition.

Have you read some of the comments here and on Reddit?! Dude, it IS true already.

Even in this thread I got downvoted for digging at people who have AI girlfriends. lmao

Probably because you're being mean and picking on people who clearly have some mental health issues. What, were you expecting a round of applause for punching down?

But for there to be somebody to downwardly punch, then it must be true.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So you're saying everyone who has an AI girfriend has "mental health issues"?

Is that what you are saying?

So sounds like you need to get downvoted more than me.

I didn't accuse them of having mental health issues. That's all you, brother.

But I DO think that having an ai girlfriend is pathetic. And saying that, made a bunch of people mad.

And it hasn't changed my mind at all. lol

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

I didn't say you accused them of having mental health issues. I said that you targeted a group of mentally unwell people to insult them. Those aren't the same thing.

But I DO think that having an ai girlfriend is pathetic. And saying that made a bunch of people mad.

What's pathetic is getting so worked up about it and starting multiple arguments in the thread over it. At least the folks with AI partners aren't being assholes to everyone about it; what's your excuse?

EDIT: Nevermind, just noticed your account's not even a half a day old. Evading a ban, I take it?

Don't answer, because I don't care.

I can get an AI girlfriend? Where?

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Ask some of the commenters in this thread.

Apparently there are a lot fo them that have AI girlfriends and are mad that I said they were sad for it. lol

Refresh the thread and see how many downvotes I have and the replies. Seems like a lot of them are pretty mad that I made fun of ai girlfriends.
