Computer Factsgiving impressionable still-developing young men "ai girlfriends" who cannot ever say no and that they can customize with sliders and parameters down to minuscule detail will probably break them in unfixable ways and permanently foreclose on their healthy participation in human relationships but beep boop what does computer know
haematophage@computer true although i think it is important to realise that there is a parallel process in young women too and that while the risk of outward harms caused by giving men "ai gf that can't say no" are obviously greater than those caused by giving women "ai husband who worships you" they r both realllyl concerning on a "will these people ever be able to have a healthy human relationship" level and if u look at like r/MyPartnerIsAI it does seem to be mostly women
Lily Star@haematophage Your Concern Trolling is Noted.
@starlily oh no a mastodon.social user is telling me i'm doing one of the Bad Speech things that they have a special Bad Speech label for...
this isn't even concern trolling, i hate ai and dislike most men and I think that the OP is 100% correct, and my reply was not directed to the part of the post about AI girlfriends leading men to rape and abuse and harm young women. But the post was, in my view, primarily expressing concern over the damage "AI companions" do to their users' ability to form healthy relationships. And it does a disservice to women to say that it's just young men who are being impacted by this!! There is an ongoing generation-wide loneliness crisis and If you ignore that and focus solely on how one symptom is going to manifest in one group you're going to be playing whack a mole forever.

I find it really sad when I see that two people who seem to be generally of similar opinion cannot even engage in a conversation anymore.
