Well I’ve been following it pretty closely, it’s one of the things I’m more bullish on. I wasn’t sure how long it would take before GPT-4 but at this point I don’t think it’s actually a huge leap since we already have chatbots and robot dolls, we mostly just need to combine the two. As for why a lot of men will want them (idk about women but probably a decent portion of women too), just watch some MGTOW videos.

Even if this ever comes into fruition, robot-human relationships will probably looked at the same way Trans-Cis relationships are today. Sure, some men are into Trans women, but the vast majority are not because its not a biological female. But of course some will be into that.

And that's not even mentioning the fact that there's no guarantee human-like robots ever come into fruition, or if they do it could be beyond your lifespan. My advice, live for today and not tomorrow. Tomorrow is never guaranteed.

Fair enough, but it wouldn't need god-level intelligence to be bored. If it even came up to the intelligence of a regular person, wouldn't it still want something out of a relationship? Or is the point not to simulate human intelligence but rather the personality of a lobotomized person, with their desires, complexity, and individuality removed/limited? Does OP just want a semi-autonomous cuddle-bot? If so, we may be getting to the core of why OP is disillusioned with human relationships.

In theory, one could develop an AI that were a closed system, which would serve as an intelligence cap. I have a feeling digital personalities that would be sold as companions wouldn’t have the capacity for exponential growth. (I personally wouldn’t want a partner that had god-like intellect compared to mine).

No not really. I’m sure the reasons will be different depending on the person, but for me personally it’s because men and women’s personalities are on average pretty different in certain respects (this is not a sexist statement, it is simply a judgement free fact of human evolution), and as an autistic guy my personality is skewed in the especially masculine direction. I have had a couple short term relationships with autistic women and I’m not completely opposed to dating a person under the right circumstances but for the time being the robo girlfriend option seems like an easier and more fulfilling choice. I think right now it still seems like a weirdo thing just cause it’s such a new concept, but eventually it will become something that even “normies” are interested in.

Lets say US and EU agree to pause AI research for a year. That just means that we will give China and Russia one year headstart. The genie is out of the bottle and we have to deal with it. Im more confident if western democracies develop this technology than if some dictatorship does it. I do however agree that we are playing with fire.

It's sad that the only true love we can receive is the one from the ones we create... It's sad how one of the things we want more is to just be... Unconditionally loved and cared... Yeah I still think about Judas, I mean, my ex...

Open-source AI software is crucial for ensuring that all companies have access to these technologies without having to pay exorbitant fees or licensing costs, and it also helps ensure a level playing field where small startups can compete with large corporations. It's possible that a closed source tool may be more powerful for some time, but having something with an open source basis for everyone else keeps a free / low cost alternative in the running.
