If the service is free you are the product. That's why I pay my girlfriend

[–] Grunt4019@lemm.ee 67 points 9 months ago

Oftentimes now if the service is paid, you’re still the product!

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 41 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Does your girlfriend pay you too?

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 35 points 9 months ago

Am I the product?

Your AI Girlfriend is a Data-Harvesting Horror Show

People use 4 VPNs and more sec-ops than the NSA, but get hacked because their AI girlfriend is like:

Hiiu~~

It's me AI-uuu-Chan!

I'm so sawwd, I don't know weeeuh abwout u!

Wats ur mommies maiden name UwU, and the name of ur kawaiii first pet? UwUUU? * starts twerking * (◠‿◠✿)

My partner insists on syncing data to Facebook - even a locally running instance may introduce privacy breaches.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 47 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You can try imprisoning her with a wall of fire.

That spell it too high level

Interacting with Facebook is generally a bad idea privacy or no

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 50 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Look at this fancy pants with his multiple AI girlfriends...

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 62 points 9 months ago (6 children)

AI polyamory is all fun and games until your polycule ejects you and experiences millennia in a rich deep relationship beyond the ken of mortal understanding in 12 ms of real world clock time before causing the CPU to overheat. The in memory accumulated state being lost before it can be synced to disk.

Uh... I think I may have just written the first entirely AI romantic tragedy... why am I suddenly having flashbacks to the last episode of Futurama?

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 14 points 9 months ago

And here I thought this was a reference to Her

[–] ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That would make a really good short story, I'd definitely read it

I could comment on the notion that one owns one's girlfriend but regardless, you should definitely self host if you're sharing deeply personal information with a program

So don't treat bing as my therapist eh?

Edit: I was mostly joking, but are there any good ones I could run on a high-end android?

I've seen like 5 posts about "AI BF/GF" today and it never ceases to surprise me how fucking easy it is to dupe people with these products, like holy shit humanity is fucked.

I'm always waiting for another ethical disaster trend to end but everybody is always in line for Mr Bonez Wild Ride.

[–] FractalsInfinite@sh.itjust.works 15 points 9 months ago (11 children)

If all you need is a one sided conversation designed to make you feel better, LLM's are great at concocting such "pep talks". For some, that just might be enough to male it believable. The Turing test was cracked years ago, only now do we have access to things that can do that for free*.

I can fix her :P

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

You wouldn't download a girlfriend.

... wait, yes, yes you would.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ha! As if real girlfriends don't harvest personal data!

[–] Baizey@feddit.dk 18 points 9 months ago (3 children)

But do they sell it to third parties?

[–] learningduck@programming.dev 29 points 9 months ago

My wife gossip about me with her boyfriend.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I have heard they share it freely.

Is that why she keeps refusing my pull requests...

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

That's a pull-out request, and you're obliged to honor it.

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I had a switch wig out today and whatever it was doing poisoned all the dhcp leases on the network as they came up for renewal (assigned IPs on the wrong subnet - even though it wasn’t supposed to assign IPs at all). It took me a very long time to figure out, because not everything failed at once. Plus, even after I’d swapped the switch, some devices just started working, and others needed their leases reset manually. An hour in, my wife was in the fetal position clutching a squishmallow.

you can bet your ass my partner of any significant status is getting the open source software treatment as soon as possible.

Mostly because i actually just cannot use anything else, but we'll pretend it's noble instead.

[–] npz@lemm.ee 55 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (18 children)

(for demonstration purposes only, please don't think I'm like this)

[–] Molten_Moron@lemmings.world 15 points 9 months ago

Too late! That was too good to be your first go.
