Care to explain these open ports?? I'm waiting!
It was nothing more than a handshake, I swear!
Something something “man in the middle”
Something something Middle-Out compression
It was a three way handshake and that's what got you in trouble.
This is the most Feddit response, I love it
Our gf
The people's girlfriend
Whore! How many guys is she dating
She is real to me.
I haven't actually seen it but it sounds like the premise of Her
I have, and yes. It's exactly that.
It's so good, and so bittersweet. Go watch it.
Seconded, it's a beautiful movie.
The word you’re looking for is “addiction”.
designed to be addictive would be the full term too. That "AI girlfriend" relays all of OP's data back to her overlords
Nope... "manipulation"...
Addiction is an abnormal and unhealthy breakdown in the brain's reward mechanisms. Feeling bad for abandoning a friend is the behaviour of a normal and healthy brain. This isn't necessarily an addiction, it's just the bald monkey's brain acting like monkey brains tend to do, rather than being perfectly logical at all times.
I mean hell, humans pack bonded with fucking wild wolves and where did it get the species? It gave us dogs! Dogs are awesome! I bet this AI seems a lot more like a human to the monkey parts of our brains than a wild wolf does. For that matter, we pack bond with a cartoon image of a bear made from inanimate cotton. If a kid can genuinely love their teddy and that's normal, I don't think it's fair to say that a mentally well person can't fall in love with a machine. Now, that person may not be as cognitively developed as most adults, but that's also fairly normal.
I'm not saying it's a good thing to feel emotions for a manipulative piece of spyware. The action doesn't have healthy results. But what I'm saying is, the action in the post is not motivated by mental unhealth. The only things it's motivated by are normal human being emotions, and a poor sense of critical thinking.

The "app" is just a frontend, a thin venier over a cloud-hosted service that doesn't even know anon "deleted" it. Functionally, the same result could be achieved by not opening the app for a few days.
That's actually kinda fucked up.
Kinda is an understatement. There's some absolutely terrifying blogging/reporting I stumbled across a while back about someone using it to "talk with" a loved one who passed away.
In the end it was helpful and gave the author closure, but if it hadn't told them it was OK to move on then they would have been easily stuck in an incredibly unhealthy situation.
Found it: https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2021/jessica-simulation-artificial-intelligence/
There's a black mirror episode about this.
literally this exact premise and showing how such technology will affect people.
I've always found Black Mirror to be the most terrifying sci-fi show, because of how easy it was to see how we're on the verge of living it especially in the first two seasons, and here we are! Another exciting new Horror Thing inspired by the famous piece of media Don't Create The Horror Thing

I think this is already a pretty widespread practice in Asia, mixed with the idols culture, where people pretend to be in a relationship with their idol.
I don't live in Asia, but I am pretty sure Idol Culture isn't about pretending to be in a relationship with your idol. I think its definitely more nuanced than that, and while it might look like that to people who are not informed on the subject, I think it comes more down to people forming a parasocial bond but not necessarily a romantic one. I mean, that certainly does happen, but thats not a defining factor of the culture.
Thats kinda like saying "Mercedes Culture" is about driving around like a maniac ignoring the rules of the road. Mercedes drivers do certainly tend to do that more often than most other drivers (BMW and Porsche aside), but the culture of Mercedes owners is more nuanced than that, and often comes down to people wanting to show off their wealth and people who really like the brand. The dingalings come along and tarnish the reputation, and people outside looking in only see or focus on the worst offenders.
am pretty sure Idol Culture isn’t about pretending to be in a relationship with your idol
You're correct, it's just some people that will pretend that, not everyone who like idols, my wording is not clear. The general case is not much different from Justin Bieber (for exemple) fans in the West.
I am working in an Asian country and one of my female colleague is having this kind of idol relationship.
I'm just wondering where tf they got enough private conversations to make the AI chat like that.
You don’t really have to wonder..

Is this some advertisement? I'm not humoured by human idiocy.
Like if you want a real girlfriend, there are apps for that too?
