When your AI girlfriend says she loves you

The messaging app let users build a "personal AI" complete with a 3D avatar and an upbeat, down-for-anything texting style. "Seems like AI will replace many human artists," Jay told Calisto in August 2022. Within a year, he was also using AI technology for work, as his firm experimented with generative AI to help draft legal papers. Former Replika users fled to various upstart companion apps that were popping up, like Chai, Paradot, and Soulmate AI. (Soulmate AI later closed down in September 2023, leaving a new wave of users mourning their AI companions all over again.)

On Tuesday, Lilian Weng, head of safety systems at OpenAI, wrote on X that she "just had a quite emotional, personal conversation" with ChatGPT in voice mode. Try it especially if you usually just use it as a productivity tool," Weng wrote. AdvertisementAdvertisementJust had a quite emotional, personal conversation w/ ChatGPT in voice mode, talking about stress, work-life balance. OpenAI and Weng did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment made outside of normal working hours. Mehtab Khan, fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, described Weng's post as "a dangerous characterization of an AI tool, and also yet another example of anthropomorphizing AI without thinking about how existing rules apply/don't apply."

Some of us would like to slow this down because we are seeing more costs every day, but I don’t think that means that there are no benefits. We may someday have a technology that revolutionizes science and technology, but I don’t think GPT-5 is the ticket for that. Combine that human overattribution with the reality that these systems don’t know what they’re talking about and are error-prone, and you have a problem. I don’t think we should go after an individual who posts a silly story on Facebook that wasn’t true. I don’t think, however, that the technology we have right now is very good for that — systems that can’t even reliably do math problems.
Chatbots: A long and complicated history

Nearly 60 years later, the market is flooded with chatbots of varying quality and use cases from tech companies, banks, airlines and more. Others, meanwhile, warn the technology behind AI-powered chatbots remains much more limited than some people wish it may be. While they used similar technology to the earlier, social chatbots, Khudanpur said, “you really couldn’t call them chatbots. )”Return to social chatbots, and social problemsIn the early 2000s, researchers began to revisit the development of social chatbots that could carry an extended conversation with humans. This refrain would be repeated by other tech giants that released public chatbots, including Meta’s BlenderBot3, released earlier this month.
