I'm familiar with her. She created the subreddit r/MyBoyfriendIsAI. The mods are very chill and overall good vibes there

 

Mental health and youth service providers say they've noticed rising interest in AI chatbot companions.

In two independent studies, Australian researchers have found concerning user trends, including diminished interest in human interactions.

But users of AI companions say they can also offer support, advice and a chance to explore imaginative worlds.

Yet another autistic involved in an AI companionship case (the other is Sewell). Always blame the app (which has its own faults to many of their parents' credit) and never the system.

Many people who get into AI companionship are teenagers (the subject of this article) and their parents were probably not familiar with AI before, so it makes sense for publications to warn those unfamiliar with AI about its potential risks.

That's a good insight. One scenario that I worry about is that everyone will get into their own mini bubbles of simulated realities, unwilling to communicate with other bubbles.

This opinion feels more nuanced than others. She seems to acknowledge both the pros and cons of AI companionship, ultimately saying, "There are people who truly believe their chatbot is their primary relationship, but that's not the case for me.". This situation is also the inverse of the Sewell case, where it's the son judging his mom.

I know athletics tend to depend on body capabilities and training but I perceived the question to be which competition would be the "easiest" and I suppose I perceived "easy" to mean "don't need that many rules and steps". I find athletics to be one of the more simpler games out there. I apologize if I may have misinterpreted the question.

There are some efforts for LLM use for disabled people, such as GoblinTools. And you're very right about disabled people benefitting from LLMs being a happy use case accident. With that being the reality, it's frustrating how so many people who blindfully defend AI use disabled people as a shield against ethical concerns. Tech companies themselves like to use us to make themselves look good; see the "disability dongle" concept as a prime example.

As an autistic who struggles with communication and organizing thoughts, LLMs have been helping me process emotions and articulating things. Not perfectly in the way that you'd describe (hence i mostly don't use LLM outputs themselves as replies), but my situation is much better than pre-November 2022

(East) Asians are the most accepted race aside from white people. Not that racism against them doesn't exist, but it seems that white people naturally gravitate towards them compared to other races
