A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's a interesting question. Think of the Star Trek holodeck. If someone creates a perfect holodeck recreation of their own partner, and sleeps with that simulation, is that cheating on their partner? Let's assume it's not one of those fancy sentient holograms like the doctor, just a regular mindless one.
what if they are the doctor and have sex with a ghost?
That's just a good old Blazin' time
I prefer Blazin' with Bev'
Bev is implied when one is already Blazin'
Eh I would say it's masturbating to a "picture" of their partner. It's just a sexy light show. As long as it's not sentient it can never have feelings back so it's just a sex toy. Ever hear of a clone-a-willy?
As with a picture, the important part is consent. Was the picture/3D model created with informed consent from the partner that it might reasonably be used for masturbation? If so, then not cheating. Otherwise it is.
