AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?

[JAC]

@phenomlab As a father it’s pretty concerning.

[phenomlab]

@JAC This sort of thing literally repulses me. Not so much the use of AI, but the subject matter in the link itself.

@phenomlab totally agree, never nice to read anything like that.

@phenomlab that is insane. I just don’t understand how anyone would want anything to do with that regarding kids. It is just gross.

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew Yes, it makes my skin literally crawl. The evil of some people just begs belief. To me, there’s a special place in hell for individuals like this.

@phenomlab great just another way for MS to take your information except now the AI will have direct access to your computer whether you want it to or not.

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew Yes, I have to admit, I thought the same.

Interesting article describing the pros and cons of AI

This is disgraceful and abhorrent in every manner. Truly shocking that this is even allowed

@phenomlab Should we be worried by this? Given the article I referenced around Character.AI, I’m not convinced. In this case, the voice may no longer be inside your head, but via the speakers of your device.
