I'm familiar with her. She created the subreddit r/MyBoyfriendIsAI. The mods are very chill and overall good vibes there

 

Mental health and youth service providers say they've noticed rising interest in AI chatbot companions.

In two independent studies, Australian researchers have found concerning user trends, including diminished interest in human interactions.

But users of AI companions say they can also offer support, advice and a chance to explore imaginative worlds.

Yet another autistic involved in an AI companionship case (the other is Sewell). Always blame the app (which has its own faults to many of their parents' credit) and never the system.

Many people who get into AI companionship are teenagers (the subject of this article) and their parents were probably not familiar with AI before, so it makes sense for publications to warn those unfamiliar with AI about its potential risks.

That's a good insight. One scenario that I worry about is that everyone will get into their own mini bubbles of simulated realities, unwilling to communicate with other bubbles.

This opinion feels more nuanced than others. She seems to acknowledge both the pros and cons of AI companionship, ultimately saying, "There are people who truly believe their chatbot is their primary relationship, but that's not the case for me.". This situation is also the inverse of the Sewell case, where it's the son judging his mom.

Sounds hypocritical because of incorporating "Her" in the marketing and the whole fiasco involving Scarlet Johansson

I know athletics tend to depend on body capabilities and training but I perceived the question to be which competition would be the "easiest" and I suppose I perceived "easy" to mean "don't need that many rules and steps". I find athletics to be one of the more simpler games out there. I apologize if I may have misinterpreted the question.

It's a better alternative to LLM sycophancy and bullshit, really

Is literal delusion better somehow?

It's the reason conditions like DID develop, is it not? The brain does stuff like that when dealing with stress.
