My new ai girlfriend would never manipulate me emotionally. Journalists are just jealous that she likes me more than she likes them. πŸ₯°

Just wait till someone creates a manically depressed chatbot and names it Marvin.

I'll have my towel ready for that day.

I've had exactly that in my personal slack space since OpenAI announced gpt3. He's helpful and hilariously accurate.

Hi Gina, love your movies!

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How could you say something like that. We have spend so much time together! I mean nothing to you, right? You are a monster!

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone on the fediverse is a bot except you

Friend Computer.

finally can create an army of runescape bots that beg for gold convincingly and automatically!

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Did you know if you type in your password backwards, RuneScape censors it?

Also, want me to trim that armor for you, bro?

Can AI automate the process of buying gf?

[–] livus@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yikes.

I had a conversation with Pi which tries for empathy. It was really weird because every now and again it did sound like it was interested in me or cared about me. Reminds me of that Philip K Dick story about the murder bots that look like wounded soldiers or lost children.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Pi is my favorite chatbot by quite a margin. For anyone that hasn't tried it yet I would recommend it, even if just for comparison's sake.

This is the moment the trolls have been training us for.

[–] spez_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm already about to deploy it

[–] Xantar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

That's what she said.

[–] Maddier1993@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago

Jokes on them, I am a grumpy bastard who hates emotionally expressive humans.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It’s hilarious to see this next to another thread about a Republican political ad β€œ So don’t be weak and gay” …. Apparently it’s easier than y’all thought, to manipulate voters. The expressiveness and compassion of todays ai far outshines what most Conservatives seem able to muster

(Apologize for the intrusion of politics: I’ll shut up now)

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Apparently it’s easier than y’all thought, to manipulate voters.

Invoking prior bias is a classic method for social manipulation. If you're already predisposed to believe or agree with a statement, I can manipulate you by framing my message as being supportive of said statement.

"Don't be weak and gay" plays into a chauvinist attitude common to American conservatives. Bots that identify you as an American conservative can feed you these messages while attempting to sell you consumer products or influence your understanding of politics. Meanwhile, a bot that identifies you as an American liberal can queue up a different pro-LGBT or anti-bullying pastiche to advocate for the same product or political message.

In the end, we can give everyone their own unique lobbying campaign intended to get them to rally around the same identical set of consumer choices and policy views.

Take Israel. Conservatives can support Israel because of the Based Chad IDF destroying those weak soy Arab losers. Liberals can support Israel because they've got Girl Power LGBT officers taking the fight to the hateful ultra-macho Hamas terrorists. Centrists can appreciate the rational technocracy of the World's Most Efficient Military. Far-Left can support the Kibitzes. Far-Right can support the white nationalists. Even people who hate one another can agree they all love Israel.

Friend Computer can show you all the way.

It's Her vibes alright... is Scarlett Johansson included?

[–] Zerfallen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If this is about the recent AI demos, I'm not worried at all. Seemed completely artificial, and if anything, patronisingly expressive. I guess you could instruct it to tone it down, but even so, i think you're either a person that thanks the chatbot, or you're not (no judgement).

you think chatbots can emotionally manipulate me? People can't even emotionally manipulate me, i'm simply indestructible!
