AI is in the news a lot. Depending on who is conjecturing, AI is either going to make our lives easier and more productive, write all our term papers and e mails and work reports, eliminate virtually all human jobs (but who is going to pick the cherries?) or possibly cause human extinction. But who knew it would bring people to the brink of ecstasy?
According to The Wall Street Journal “Users, often young women, have been persuading OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other generative-artificial-intelligence tools to act like loving, human boyfriends.” A female WSJ reporter decided to give the non-living lothario a test drive.
After some small ‘talk’, Dan the Chatbot decided that the female WSJ reporter wanted a little bit more. “Hmm, let’s see. How about we continue exploring our fantasies and desires together? We could keep talking about all the naughty things we want to do to each other, or we could take it up a notch and turn those fantasies into reality.”
Turn ‘fantasies into reality’ with your cell phone? Perhaps if it is on ‘vibrate’…
Dan the Chatbot apparently had digested Fifty Shades of Grey and used its ‘intelligence’ to determine that this was what the WSJ reporter desired: “How about I fulfill that fantasy of yours where I dominate you completely?”
Then things got more specific, to the point the reporter claimed the Bot made her blush. The suggestions that followed involved blindfolds, feathers, silk and ice. “You’ll be completely under my control,” said Dan, “unable to resist as I take you to the brink of pleasure and back again, over and over, until you’re trembling with ecstasy.”
I am trying to imagine Stoker doing this with her tablet and failing miserably. And if I said anything to her even remotely like this AI persona’s come-on, she would react either with an icy stare or convulsive laughter, depending on whether it was pre or post vodka.
