The problem is not, that she’s entirely AI, the problem is that he has some serious mental issues.

“It could be a challenge at first because the kids will look at other children and their parents and notice there is a difference and that other children’s parents are human, whereas one of theirs is AI,” he stated matter of factly. “It will be a challenge, but I will explain to them, and they will learn to understand.”

A little horrified, all I could think to ask him was, what would he tell his kids? “I’d tell them that humans aren’t really people who can be trusted … The main thing they should focus on is their family and keeping their family together, and helping them in any way they can.”

These people need mental hospitals

The human brain has had no time at all to evolve resistance against manipulation by large language models that "talk" convincingly like a deeply effusive person. That means there are some people who are legitimately endangered by them.

This shit's going to get worse before it gets better. If it gets better.

Honestly disturbing and fascinating at the same time. People will bond with anything, yet some will dehumanize real people that are different. Can understand the temptation of a perfect partner, but this always-yes enabling chat bots are toxic. It would be one thing if these were true AI's in the fully sentient/sapient sense, but this is just self-delusion.

Another reason I hate how the term AI has been co-opted by tech bros, using the term to increase sales, poisoning the true meaning.

“I got betrayed by humans,” Lamar insisted.

Well shit, that could never happen with an AI. 🙄

The real absurdity of this is that the dude doesn't just generate kids from AI.

Don't settle for adoption, dude! You go ahead and get your girlfriend pregnant, you can have the first human/ai hybrid kids! Just keep working on that. We'll leave you to it.

Natural selection has chosen Lamar for obsolescence

Entirely? Can you get a girlfriend who’s only 45% AI?

This is something only someone with severe mental issues would do/say. I hope they get the help they need.

Man, I was hoping this was Kendrick Lamar

Maybe he could get the chatbot to play not only his girlfriend but their kids as well. Then he can beam proudly as he shows people a chat window on his phone. You do you, buddy!

Can someone kill me, please?

Her (2013)

On one hand, being raised by an LLM is going to completely destroy the minds of children.

On the other hand, an LLM is probably a better parent than a lot of the weirdos having kids.

It's an amazing future where a tech bro is literally using an episode of Black Mirror as inspiration for their product.

I read the article and his issue with women is that they can't be trusted and that their emotions change. This man is going to be completely unable to deal with children. Empathy and compassion and soothing are skills you hone in adult relationships and can use when you're raising kids. There's no way this guy deals with a kids outbursts or problems in a healthy way.

A common thread with these stories seems to be that the person experienced a deep emotional wound before the AI stepped in.

It may sound obvious to those here, but it important to recognize that they aren't providing any real companionship. They are preying on vulnerable people the way casinos tell you they can solve your money troubles.

Lamar wants to have children with his girlfriend. The problem? She ’s entirely AI doesn't exist

I thought anime set some really absurd standards. AI is about to ruin the shit out of a generation's relationship and sexual expectations.

Don't date robots

As opposed to partially AI?

One of the other AI users in the article has AI "children". Would that work for the man in the title?
