About:

This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

How long until I can get an IRL AI GF? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Title, how much longer will I have to wait until I can buy a body for an AI GF?

To me, they would just have to be a bit better than our current 'best' ai, capable of remembering past conversations forever, and able to draw upon past interactions it had between each other to continually evolve its personality.

The Body can either be a full on robot-with little to no human characteristics to avoid the uncanny valley or near perfect human-like to pass the uncanny valley.

How long until it is possible to get an AI GF? Depending on how real-feeling you want it to be, 10 years or so I'd suspect. But, if you want something that feels warm-blooded, that's gonna need heating. And if it moves, to curl around you like for sleeping or something, that's gonna be a cost, unless you wanna hear metal clanking.

It'll be very expensive (>$3000) for the good ones, and this isn't even mentioning the fact that should one exist, the reckoning that has put ChatGPT into limbo will come for this as well. People already complain about sex dolls, how they allow men to "act out and normalize perverted fantasies" and "make them more likely to rape women", and that will explode should a true woman-replacable companion come out. Hell, that could easily result in them being banned entirely, but almost certainly even more expensive.

It's not going to be the paradise you think it is, in all likelihood.

I don't expect them to be perfect, I don't need them to be warm feeling, Hell I don't even need them to look perfectly human- if we don't have the tech or the cost for a near perfect human face & body is too prohibitive, I'd be willing to go full on robot clunker if I had to, as long as the ai was advanced enough to pass for human. I'd even be willing to deal with a slight delay in responsiveness for a streamed-to-body ai if I had to.

In my opinion I’d just want something a bit more advanced than our current ‘best’ ai chat bots- something that can hold permanent long term memories & remember them and evolve their personality based on the interactions they have with me over time.

As for the public opinion on the topic, I couldn't care less, but imo having a robo gf that's capable of doing anything a regular one is except have kids or feel&look perfectly human would decrease any incel's appetite for committing a life ruining crime like sexual assault on real women.
