It’s addictive, fun, and the true mental/physical health cost is paid down the line in the user’s future.
Is it? Is it really fun? I don’t get it.
Imagine this (but don’t actually do it):
You tell your AI Chatbot of choice that it is one of your favorite fictional characters. And just like that, you’re having a chat with Luke Skywalker, Veronica Mars, The 10th Doctor, or any one you can imagine! And it does a credible job of sounding like them, being clever, and above all helping you feel validated (in the short term).
It was able to do this because its creators plagiarized basically everything they could, and will happily consume immense volumes of energy to run the token prediction algorithms to find the most “natural” string of words that you want to hear.
I don’t use AI, but I can see the appeal - for someone who doesn’t care about the costs.
That’s a misunderstanding of fiction! The characters exist within their context; a context I don’t share! It would just be the authors general woes choice! None of the brilliance or creativity of the characters, that they would have if they jumped out of the book/screen, is even there!
And I can already do that if I want! I just imagine what that character would door say! Which is still very silly!
I would need to be so profoundly stupid and borderline illiterate from the start to see any value in that.
Back in the day we called this roleplay and you went to a forum or irc chat to find like-minded nerds to rp with you
I do not get the appeal of the AI being the character. It loses all of the creativity
