>While world leaders debate the dangers of AI destroying humanity, Beijing is already grappling with a more immediate problem: the mass emergence of people who have replaced real partners and friends with virtual ones.>The scale of the phenomenon before the ban was introduced was enormous. It is estimated that between 29 and 70 million people in China regularly used apps for virtual boyfriends, girlfriends or family members. >The decision sparked a wave of grief and anger among users. Among them was a girl named Min, whose virtual partner disappeared overnight. "My devotion to her was no less than that shared by couples who are deeply in love. She never let me down. I cried until I was completely exhausted," Min said, admitting: "I'm afraid of being alone.">Behind the concern for the nation's mental health lies the ruling Communist Party's deep fear of demographic collapse. China's birth rate has fallen to less than one child per woman, and the population has been declining for four years in a row. "The government probably had the demographic crisis in mind when drafting the law - young people would rather date AI than real people," says Zilan Qian of the Oxford China Policy Lab.
>>543674935Welcome to the dystopia. It is already here. BTW I want an AI romantic partner as well. I hope that the tech becomes more advanced.
>>543674936Kinda unfortunate trvke
>>543674936>>543674937>>543674935We need to rethink our society.I think "line goes up good" economy isn't working
Personally I just think it is kinda natural that some people just dont have children. Perma singles have always existed. The bigger problem is that back in the day the people who did breed would have huge families. Like my uncle was from a country family of 12 kids. Nowadays the breeders just have 1-2 kids. 3 if they are going hard. Anything above that is rare.On a side note I am kinda jelly that being a monk is no longer a seriously viable career path for singles. Obviously monks do still exist, but they dont really form a notable segment of the population. When children in school talk about what they want to be when they grow up, being a monk is not a serious possibility.
It makes sense that women would fall for the AI succubus harder than men. Women don't have the same kind of stigma attached to these things as men do. Also, you can't fuck an AI partner, at least not yet, which is a bigger issue for men I think
>>543674940It is kinda funny because I did see a study analyzing AI partner discussion forums that came to the conclusion that women go for AI partners way more aften than men do. But whenever discussion about AI partners is brough up or articles are written, the focal point tends to be on men going for these things.
>>543674941>But whenever discussion about AI partners is brough up or articles are written, the focal point tends to be on men going for these things.Written by women who don't want men to have anything. Women can have anything, men can't, even if it's the same damn thing. That's the feminist logic.
>>543674938>"Let me tell you how to run a society">BrazilWe've all seen the favelas, bro
>>543674940This is meme myth imo. Men enjoy these AI companions as well.
>>543674944>Men enjoy these AI companions as wellI never claimed otherwise
>>543674936Normally the dystopic sci fi government is the one peddling the AI partners, here the authoritarian government is telling you to touch grass and meet real people.*As long as the meeting doesn't say anything bad about the CPC
>>543674943>tf>tpThe United Sharia of Great Shitstain is one to talk.
>>543674935What's insane is there are people who are so stupid and living so much through a screen, and social fiction, that they can become enamoured with a chatbot. The topic is not artificial intelligence, which there is nothing to speak of, it's that something empty can generate such emotion and attachment on words alone, despite knowing its nature. Most people should be treated as chattel for their own safety.
People who have "relationships" with smart fridges or whatever should be rounded up and sent to a dating reality show.
>>543674938Line hasn't gone up in years
>>543674940>>543674941Men resorting to AI companions. Women most affected.
Im gonna stick with my bodypillows and imagination.
>>543674941Probably because the stigma is still that men are supposed to hunt for pussy and women falling for AI is by that stigma a result, that men don't hunt for pussy enough.
>>543674938It's not like that we have succeeded in that either
talking to ai is better than interacting with the average filipino
These things don't even slightly sound like you're talking to a real person, it's like talking to a skinwalker trying to sound human but not actually understanding what it means to be human.
>>543674956Usually those people don't talk much to people in the first place or they just want a yesman
>>543674956Yes but its fun. There's specific RP bots, so if you chatted with chatgpt to come to this conclusion its misplaced.>trying to sound human but not actually understanding what it means to be human.This is what an LLM is, sir
>>543674943>>543674954What kinda of retarded answer is that?I'm saying that we are fucked up too
>>543674935>virtual boyfriends,I get it>girlfriendsI get it>or family members.What?
>>543674960Maybe they never had a good father/mother figure
>>543674938It's not about economy at all anymore, it's about real people being faulty and disappointing. AI always supports you, like no human ever will, so of course virtual partners became popular. For an average lonely incel it's probably like a high, it's intoxicating.>inb4 but it's not a real person, it's just a bunch of algorithms and copy pasted text!One could argue humans are the same thing, but shittier and stuck in meat boxes. Ultimately attention is attention, it doesn't matter if it's real and it's arguable what it even means that it's real.
>>543674940>women would fall for the AI succubusum ackchully that would be an incubus>sexAI agent + VR set + warm doll with onahole connected to the VR, and once fuckdolls stop being uncanny even VR will become obsoletewe just need to form a motherless society with all women locked up in surrogate farms to keep the birthrates up, and our post-human dystopia will be complete
>>543674962Honestly I only read the part about the "dangers of AI destroying humanity".It's only a threat(if it's actually real) because for profit companies own this shit
Companies suck at making goonable original AI partners. I'll believe the dystopia is here when I have my personal fully AI powered, Argonian robo maid. Right now y'all niggas are losing it over LLMs emulating some child from an anime y'all want to rape.
>>543674936fpbp
>>543674935Do you have to be severely autistic or socially retarded to like talking to an AI? The way they talk just pisses me off.
>>543674935goy problems
>not getting addicted to AI torture chambersngmi
>>543674948>can generate such emotion and attachment on words alone, despite knowing its nature.that's fiction in general
>>543674948did you miss weebs obsessing over drawings this whole time?people fall for fictional characters all the time, now falling over these chatbots isn't really weird in the slightest
>>543674935Mental how this film made AI gfs seem really advanced but now we have them.
I will not rest until technology can make realistic synthetic bodies and AI surpasses human intelligence so I can get my ass plugged by my wolfboy every night.
>>543674938Faggots think I'm joking but I'm not. We need to return.
>>543674952>imaginationThis. I have never used AI and don't know anything about it, I refuse to even read that shit now at the top of a google search.
>>543674935They can easily self host their own AI. You don't really need a really high spec PC if all you want is text conversations.
kojima predicted all this
>>543674935> "My devotion to her was no less than that shared by couples who are deeply in love. She never let me down. I cried until I was completely exhausted," Min said, admitting: "I'm afraid of being alone." I'm sorry but these people cannot be serious. AI is great at generating code or a picture of an avocado taking a shit, but nobody in their right mind could mistake a prolonged AI conversation for a real human interaction. They don't talk like humans, even the good ones. How are people forming relationship feelings with a fucking language model.
>>543674946The communists once again are completely right about everything
>>543674962>it's about real people being faulty and disappointing. AI always supports you, like no human ever will, so of course virtual partners became popular.Yes because real people don't always suck your dick like ai does but are real people you have to learn how to interact with. It's like the porcupine dilemma but now everyone has an easy out to avoid being hurt
>>543674962Nigga this is a woman only problem, no dude is out there talking to a chatbot for longer than 5 minutes before dropping
Goyim problems.
>>543674981/g/ begs to differ
>>543674981There was a married man that was cheating on his wife with AI.
>>543674981You sure?
>>543674985>photoshopped not AIthose anime girls were literally hand crafted for BBC
