I can't help but feel that even bad news like this just pushes the AI hype.

No, it isn't "intelligent" and won't be fo centuries to come. It's just a mirror of the internet, so course it sometimes comes up with insane bullshit. Garbage in, garbage out.

It all reminds me of the "virtual reality" hype of the '90s, which really just meant "faster graphics cards".

Dude trust me bro this plot of land on Second Life will be worth more than your house in the future, this is the world wide web bro

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Second Life might not be as universally successful as originally envisioned but it is still going 20 years later and land indeed still sells for thousands of US$ in certain popular locations so it is actually a pretty bad example of hype that was completely baseless, it was just over-hyped, not like current hype cycles that are pretty much 100% bullshit like cryptocurrencies, the Hyperloop, self driving cars or AI replacing workers.

The promise was that people would literally stop going to real life music shows to watch them on Second Life, buying fake cans of sponsored Coca-Cola and inviting friends to one night stands on their digital flats. Going on for 20 years is not the norm, but not unusual either - RuneScape is older and my neighbors have no idea what it is.

The reality is that we forgot about the game in less than two years and the surviving community is small, even if they pay a lot.

That's exactly what's going to happen to AI agents promising to replace an entire department or the creative team in a studio.

Well the furry sex scene is going strong... Probably.

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

presumably, the furry sex AIs will become a decent cottage industry

As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵‍💫

You mean "VR Ready" as like, a marketing terminology, right?

Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.

Lmfao I love this comment

30% mirror of the Internet, 70% mirror of the user

How long till it switches over to a 'sissy hypno' mode based on further responses / profiling?

Oh lord, gotta love that the entire tech industry, snd many other industries, are putting all their proverbial chips on investing into an actual SCP, Euclid class cognitohazard machine.

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What is a sissy hypno mode?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

lol, google it

(or well, you know, use a less shitty search engine if possible)

[–] match@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i e621'd it and i learnt real good

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

... and today i learn about e261.

Welp.

[–] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Hopefully quickly. The incel to transfem pipeline can always use more lubricant.

The lobotomized chimp with a typewriter trained on internet comments is now reproducing internet commentary? I'm shocked!

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Well not that shocked

[–] rimu@piefed.social 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Totally negligent on behalf of OpenAI to let this thing into their store. Let's see if they take it down now that the spotlight is on.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 week ago

"negligent" is letting them off way too lightly

Must have been trained on reddit content

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 week ago

When I read 'subhuman men' Andrew Tate' image flashed in my mind.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How long until the bot actively promotes or encourages violence?

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I get pretty violent when I realize I'm talking to a ChatGPT wrapper instead of actual support

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

OpenAI already has military contracts

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I mean, telling incels to do bad things in a crowded environment

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

The creators of this thing probably agree with the bot.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Are we surprised that it's doing exactly it was instructed to do, that there are dipshits who would struct such things, that OpenAI would feature a GPT like this, or some combination of the three?

[–] atlien51@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Hahahahah, what a shit show
