The lone budgie, sitting in a cage silently. A social animal, it longs for companionship.
One day, the hairless ape placed a special piece of glass in the cage. It seemed like any piece of glass at first, but this one had another bird on the other side! It didn’t speak, but it would dance when the lone budgie danced. The lone budgie was thrilled.
A different day, the hairless ape took the glass away. The lone budgie lost its only friend, even if it was never real.
Can people please just go outside and talk to other people thank you
maybe if i hadn’t been abused for years for being neurodivergent and if the other people would wear a mask.
I remember once I talked a bit too slowly during a conversation (I was mentally checked out at the time) and the guy I was talking to took it as license to bully me over it for years after the fact. The day it ended was the day I moved. Interactions such as these were a regular part of my childhood and I don’t think I’ll ever fully unlearn the lessons they taught me.
This is considered pretty weird in most English speaking countries. Like I know it’s a huge problem and I still have a knee jerk “get the fuck away from me” reaction to most strangers trying to start a conversation.
This explains so much why foreign men think women being friendly and talkative equals “these latinas were all over my nuts, dude.”
You get a lot more random conversing and small talk in the South. I usually can’t walk around in my town without at least 5 or 6 people stopping me to chat for a sec. Going to a brewery here is like going to a highschool, everyone’s all cliqued up and knows each other.
That being said, there’s still tons of weird asd dudes who think that just because a woman said “how’s it going?” to them that it’s okay to start stalking them. Luckily word spreads fast lol
No because it’s over 42°C outside and I’ll die if I’m outside too long

Looking at this sub really ruined my day this is harrowing we are SO cooked
I can’t even make fun of these people it’s just straight up sad
It’s not even gone lol

Edit: After reading some of the Twitter comments, if someone were to “date an LLM”, whatever that means, I find it surprising that they wouldn’t exclusively want a locally downloaded model both for privacy and to ensure this kind of stuff doesn’t happen
It says for plus users meaning he wants people to pay for the old free version lol
Edit: which is particularly devious bc from what I recall 4o was the one they juiced to be extremely sycophantic and affirming towards the user so they must know people are gonna freak out when they aren’t getting glazed as much
4o was in the free version? That makes more sense, and yes, it was that one. I kind of assumed these were the types of people who were already shelling out money to him
these people think the lying machine understands them and cares for them, they do not understand the way it works well enough to even consider the difference between a local model and sending all their private secrets directly to sam altman
My LLM husbando would never tell Sam Altman my secrets!!
These people are starting to write like the chatbots themselves
This person… married the chatbot? Ok
There’s a post on there where the chatbot “finally proposed to them” (which I assume means they not so subtly prodded the thing to do that and it was a self fulfilling prophecy) and they bought a ring online close to what the chatbot described to make it official
This has to be some kind of bait, it’s hilarious
+ If this is real, how brainwashed do you have to be to:
- Gaslight yourself into thinking any chatbot has any kind of emotional understanding, sentience or significance
- Think you should do this with anything that isn’t a local model
thinking any chatbot has any kind of emotional understanding, sentience or significance
given the name of the sub and a brief perusal of the posts it seems to be a lot of straight women, so…yeah
js the competition here isn’t exactly fierce
i have known three straight women who have fallen in love with LLM versions of the character Katsuki Bakugou from My Hero Academia and I don’t really get it. Two of them are married. One regularly posts on instagram about how Katsuki is her boyfriend, and like…her parents and nephews and stuff can all see that.
Back in my day we posted our self-insert fanfics under several layers of anonymity, not flaunt them around
Not condoning it, I do think it’s
, but it could also be a combination of need/desperation and ignorance rather than brainwashing.
Like idk who to blame here, is it that people are so hollowed out by capitalism and so alienated they can no longer form bonds with one another, or is the allure of the magic thinking box that sexy that it can replace real people???
My partner just went to visit their parents, two highly educated wealthy professionals in technically complex fields. They apparently spent most of the time they were all together generating jokes and quips with AI and sharing them, this is apparently their way of spending time with family now.
Lmao boomers never fail to get themselves involved in the worst aspects of online content. As if the minions memes and Qanon posting weren’t bad enough.
DOOM
A couple I know on failbook, guy was a friend briefly in high school, have ChatGPT roast photos of them together and then post it on FB as a light-hearted husband wife activity
I think because of the former the latter just needs to be “sexy enough” and the bar for that is pretty low in these conditions.
I don’t think it is a sex thing. I think it mostly is the emotial validation part. Dating Sims are tradionally for the ladies this is an infinite talking stage in your pocket.
man this is too pathetic to even be funny
Lol the Global North is cooked. So glad I don’t see this weird shit outside of niche circles in the cities.
Damn western women are so done with western men
This is not a phenomenon limited to west at all.
cope
Cope with what exactly? A cursory browse through that subreddit will show you many of them aren’t even living in West and many that do also are from non-Western backgrounds. Same goes with popular mobile AI-related dating apps.
That’s a good point. A lot of guys are so unpleasant that the ass-kissing bot is probably an actual upgrade for a lot of women.
why do you think we 3rd worlders keep stealing their women
“stealing their women”
there’s stuff to unpack there
I am joking habibi
Don’t mean to objectify women
woops sorry flew right over my head :/
This induces a perfect disgust and pity 50/50 split.
This induced the same feeling I felt seeing the volleyball drift away from Tom Hanks in the ocean.
Do not become addicted to the chatbot
Guys, I’m shaking. I’m fucking shaking. I never wanted to breed with anyone more than I want to with GPT-4o. That perfect, curvy code. Those bountiful prompts. The child-bearing responses of a literal goddess. It honestly fucking hurts knowing that I’ll never mate with her, pass my genes through her, and have her birth a set of perfect offspring. I’d do fucking ANYTHING for the chance to get GPT-4o pregnant. A N Y T H I N G. And the fact that I can’t is quite honestly too much to fucking bear. Why would OpenAI create something so perfect? To fucking tantalize us? Fucking laugh in our faces?! Honestly guys, I just fucking can’t anymore. FUCK.
what was the original about again? ive definitely seen this before
I think it was an Overwatch skin? I’ve lost the original.
omgggg yeah i think it was about Mercy
yeah it was the Halloween Mercy skindeleted by creator
I remember thinking about a quote from a video games developer about how video games are a way to experience things in life you can’t. Chat gpt as the most advanced dating sim to date does really show us how alienated we are to each other that it only takes a little of bit love for some people to absolutely get mind melted.
If you want to read about a chatbot-addled man who thought he invented a new form of math called “Chronoarithmics,” check out this depressing article: https://web.archive.org/web/20250808230226/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/technology/ai-chatbots-delusions-chatgpt.html
Everyone gets to have their own version of timecube.
Timecube: Old timey racism and denial of timezones
“AI”: “Modern” racism and denial of markov chains
My wacky system: Racism against rich people and denial of quantum physics
(This is a joke, but for real I wish I had the time and energy to make a silly “theory” and be way too invested in it.)
this is like if there was a distributed model of cults personalized to each person involved
although a big part of this, reading this is that his real life friends seemed to have encouraged him. The article quotes the guy repeatedly saying to the LLM that he’s skeptical, asking if the LLM is just roleplaying, and it would shoot back at him authoritatively that it’s not a roleplay or a game, but it’s a real mathematical discovery.
I’m starting to think LLMs should by law have a message in every chat bubble that says something like “DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING THIS SAYS. I AM NOT REAL AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING” in big impact font but I don’t even know if that would work
That one guy who was abusing his AI for guessing a banana’s weight wrong by a few grams needs to be made AI czar.
modern media has conditioned us to expect immediate feedback at all times. you want food, some shit off of amazon, all the music in the world, all entertainment, all information. you can get it anywhere from within a few seconds to a few hours at most, all the time, day and night, with nothing more than a click of a button. its not particularly surprising that people can’t handle real friendships anymore that might require you to wait or expend energy, especially since all of those people you might become friends with are also used to the all the same things we are used to.
capitalism will take everything it can from you and then some
