Teen boys are using ChatGPT as their wingman. What could go wrong? AI is teaching teenagers about love now.

Now imagine how much worse those kids would be if just raised by AI.
This is like if someone said being paralyzed from the neck down was worse than being paralyzed from the waste down, so you say look at all these people paralyzed from the waist down…
What?
Thing 1 is bad, thing 2 is worse.
Being raised by the worst parents is bad, being raised by ai is worse.
Being paralyzed from the waist down is bad, being paralyzed from the neck down is worse
I picked what I thought would be the clearest comparison of “undeniably bad” and “undeniably worse”. So I’m honestly impressed someone got confused enough to get offended.
Look, it was a miracle I got myself laid, now you want me to tell you how? I don’t know, the 80’s were kinda crazy wild. Not like the 60’s or 70’s, but nothing at all like today.
10’s I’d say go play with the home team — gay hookup culture looked crazy from the outside — but now? Maybe AI can get you laid, but I sure as hell can’t.
My wife is a social worker. She deals with a lot of parents who absolutely should never have been, but now have a kid and need constant help to avoid abusing them – intentionally or otherwise – physically, emotionally, sexually.
I honestly believe The Thunderhead will be better than at least half of parents. Humanity will improve as a result. Almost no kid will be ever be told again pontblank they are a piece of shit that their parents never wanted.
Depends ENTIRELY on the parent.
Some don’t deserve respect at any age.
So, it’s been decades since I was a teenager, and AI chatbots weren’t even a thing. Hell, I didn’t even have the internet as a teenager, so maybe I’m totally out of the loop, but someone riddle me this?..
They’re age checking and gatekeeping social media, but not age checking and gatekeeping AI chatbots?
Do I have this about right, or am I missing something here?
I heard somewhere that zombies eat brains…
So, is Artificial Intelligence actually the zombies, coming after the children’s minds? 🤔
Worse, they’ve grown up on a steady diet of media telling them that “if you say the wrong thing” to a girl, “she’s going to accuse you of something,”
There’s a big problem with the premise of this argument.
The article accepts this “steady diet of media” as fact, but implies that it only affects “guys”.
If there is, indeed, a “steady diet of media” saying this to a guy, then that same “steady diet of media” is saying the same thing to a girl: “If a guy says something wrong, it is reasonable for a girl to accuse him of something”. Girls are hearing the exact same message that guys are hearing.
If that “steady diet” actually exists, then the guy’s concerns of accusations are valid, and he should be praised for ensuring he doesn’t “say the wrong thing”.
It is still absolutely insane to me that people have conversations with these LLMs.
I will never understand
Wait till ppl casually mentioning their romantic AI partner during daily conversation. Based on how reliant younger generation is in the chatbots, I can see it becoming norm in a few decades or shorter.
Yes I’m aware of such articles exist. I’m talking about the future which that becomes normal and hearing about it from your circle.
I don’t understand either. Part of it is because I grew up playing games so the fascade of intelligenc and self awareness fell apart for me quickly.
You’d think newer generations would be less fooled by it, but maybe it is due to a shift from story driven games to more live service sandboxes that led to less encounters with NPCs and their scripted conversations.
I do think really light, local LLM’s are the future of NPC interaction.
Not for main story missions, but for random encounters they could add a nice layer of immersion.
I mean I’ve faked one or two conversations because I always thought chatbots where cute toys as a dev.
Treating it like a humie is a no go.
Somehow, my son grew up without being interested in videogames or social media. He’s now a world class expert in film, but he has a hard time relating to others his age, who think quality is Anime or Marvel movies. He’s gone back to college for another degree, so he’s a few years older than the rest, and he’s astonished at how unprepared they all are for college, life, or anything else.
Covid really blew a hole in the education of our country, and it hasn’t come back.
