      Sorry, I string words together poorly. Would you like the quick summary or the 30-min deep dive video?

      Lots of people started using the chatbot as a surrogate partners over the last seven years. Since the thing is a frictionless hug-box it pulled them deeper into their solitude and trained them to only respond to interactions where the other person completely acquiesces or at the very least yes/ands them constantly. Which is pretty hard for a human to be friends with another person who’s used to that. Hence, inceldom

        Oh, yeah, I’m familiar with that from reddit’s r/myboyfriendisai, which is…different from incels, but horrifying in its own way. Femcels?

        Like, I’m continually astounded about how AI is able to bring out the absolute worst in people

          Oh yeah, Femcels are incels. They were actually the first incels way back in the day on the old incel forum.

          It’s pretty sad. I low key had higher hopes for the idea of a LLM based on a repository of human knowledge but they never should have let finance bros call the shots. Of COURSE they would build a sycophantic little reprobate of a chatbot
