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?!
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.
