Title, how much longer will I have to wait until I can buy a body for an AI GF?
To me, they would just have to be a bit better than our current ‘best’ ai, capable of remembering past conversations forever, and able to draw upon past interactions it had between each other to continually evolve its personality.
The Body can either be a full on robot-with little to no human characteristics to avoid the uncanny valley or near perfect human-like to pass the uncanny valley.
Probably 10 years for minimum viable product, 20+ years for something that isn’t terrifying.
It’d be a much wiser investment to spend 2 years getting outside and in shape, expanding your interests, then finding a real one.
Watch Groundhog Day with self-improvement in mind. Life changing.
I’m not ugly nor overweight, I most likely could get an regular gf if I wanted, it’s just that I don’t really want to put myself through the process of dealing with the modern dating world… Like, I really don’t want to deal with possibly going through over a hundred relationships & dealing with the possibility of cheating, or attempts to ruin my reputation & life after a breakup. Plus I’ve literally been living like a hermit for the last 5~ years and ever since Covid shut down college I’ve literally had 0 human contact besides infrequent meetings with family, so I’m probably quite socially stunted…
I also just like the idea of being part of the first generation of humans to be in a relationship with a robot/ai, I feel like the future is going to be pretty heavily ai dominated, especially once agi and ‘sentient’ ai happens- I feel like being in a relationship with one might let me skate by as “one of the good humans” if/when they decide to exterminate humanity for our collective sins.
We need to be able to selfhost the AI first, especially pre-trained ones. Sharing corporate resources with other people dooming your privacy make them less powerfull due to resource sharing…
There are open source ai’s already available for self hosting but atm they’re much less powerful than things like GPT-4, but yeah I agree, and I hope open source ai catches up to or surpasses private ai eventually, however with the insane amount of funding going into private ventures right now I’m guessing they’ll be ahead for the foreseeable future.
Agreed… still long way to go for personalized ai then…
Well, you definitely can get ‘personalized’ ai that’s open source atm, its just that it wont be very convincingly human and they usually cant disagree with you on topics. ExLLama is probably the best you can get right now that’s not censored.
