It it not actually unpopular in the broader population, but AI seems like a dirty word on lemmy, just like a far-right’s gut reaction to words like “communism” or “socialism”.

    feels like having “someone being with you”

    This is the problem. AI isn’t that. There is no knowledge in an LLM. It’s impossible to train them in such a manner as how you see them being beneficial. Using it as a bridge is like getting blackout drunk to get to the next day. For the people that think they’re finding solutions, it’s more of an addiction.

    its more like a bridge to feel more stable and so they can be mentally sane enough to continue to seek self improvement, whether it be going outside, trying to socialize at a club, or employment.

    This is therapy in a nutshell. Being able to do that effectively takes special training and situational awareness that LLMs can’t do. In your last post, specifically the part I quoted in my response, was you griefing therapy for exactly what your saying LLMs can do.

    I encourage you to look into the real world anecdotes of people that have used AI for this purpose, or the people that have created significant others.

    It would be great if it were possible for someone that’s struggling to ask a question of their computer and get all of the answers, but that’s nothing but wishful thinking. Even if the perfect model were trained with the perfect material, and somehow had no bias, it still wouldn’t be a bad choice, inherently because the technology just isn’t capable of doing what you’re looking for. It requires a human mind with empathy and true understanding to be able to guide someone, not a computer that is finding the closest word match based on a users input. There’s no intelligence or understanding in AI, just best guess to the next word.
