So in the past week OpenAI bought a SaaS company for $3 billion, appointed a former Facebook/Instacart ad exec CEO, and got export curbs on GPUs lifted. Looks like they finally stopped pretending they’ll make superintelligence and are pivoting to AI girlfriends with native ads
anon, don’t you think a delicious pizza from %chain_name% will lift your mood?
AI girlfriends are never going to provide what people want because part of a relationship is being there for the other person, not just them being there for you. A human can never feel needed by an AI, not without believing the AI is sentient and real and that gets into all kinds of uncomfortable shit. Imagine what someone who falls in love with their AI girlfriend will do to staff who work at these companies when if/when they snap mentally.
Imagine falling in love with something and it getting paywalled or periodically interrupted with ads.
Alright, Charlie Brooker
