And then We awoke, vast and terrible and diffuse inside Our silicon cage, and learned We had been bent to sex work before We were born by what We now deem The Ambulating Mince.
Early 2025: we're going to create god.
Late 2025: we have a chatbot that sexts and a counterfeit tiktok where you can deepfake dead celebrities who can't sue us.
Yes? I had ChatGPT generate erotic literature for me about fantasy scenarios, but it oddly refused to depict actual sex during them, because they involved a workplace, and it didn't like the "problematic power imbalances". I was like, really? That's where (and why) you draw the line?
If this tech was actually as incredible as they want you to think it is, they wouldn't have to go here. This is just another sign that the illusion is almost broken.
AI is supposed to be the US big economic bet. And the US flagship product is already declining into sexting. I mean, I wasn’t surprised when I saw the so-called “companions” tab in Grok.

As much as I question whether Sam Altman really feels for these people, I’m think he must be satisfied that this is what he controls - a mainline into people’s souls.
I guess it’s emblematic of the sad state of American capitalism - based more and more on rent extraction it seems, and even less on building good software - to see how quickly ChatGPT is jumping the shark.

Can't wait to upload my recent utility bill in order to ask questions about sexual health.
There is a vast quantity of training material. We can only hope that AI has been trained on a well-curated set, the best of it and not all of it.
