People in 2024 aren't just swiping right and left on online dating apps — some are crafting their perfect AI match and entering relationships with chatbots.

Eric Schmidt, Google's former CEO, recently shared his concerns about young men creating AI romantic partners and said he believes that AI dating will actually increase loneliness.

"This is a good example of an unexpected problem of existing technology," Schmidt said in a conversation about AI dangers and regulation on "The Prof G Show" with Scott Galloway released Sunday.

Schmidt said an emotionally and physically "perfect" AI girlfriendcould create a scenario in which a younger male becomes obsessed and allows the AI to take over their thinking.

"That kind of obsession is possible," Schmidt said in the interview. "Especially for people who are not fully formed."

This is a good example of an unexpected problem of existing technology...

If only popular media weren't jammed full of people fantasizing about creating artificial romantic partners or things to stick their junk into.

Does anyone care what this guy says about anything? He is in the news every week with his more or less obnoxious opinions about random stuff. Can we just ignore him?

Perfect AI boyfriends are the bigger threat to young men

20 years later, the last fertile guy cums one last time. Elon is there to catch the golden cum. He must save the world by reverse engineering one semen into an egg. If he can find one, he can bring us back! But so far, it has just been blanks after blanks. This could be it! Imagine all the tits and pussy that could be automatically grown! We're gonna be millionaires! Women, the ultimate product!....if they can bring them back from extinction.

Things were looking positive but Elon invested a couple mil into mesh bags and nows he's sticking to them for ~~sunken cost fallacies and gluttonous pride~~ immense unrealized genius reasons so we're actually fucked by an unsolvable dilemma that real engineers couldn't solve

I don't fuck with AI chat bots but I got a he'll of a lot less lonely when I stopped giving a fuck if I had a girlfriend or not. Giving people alternatives to the toxic dating culture of today may not be such a bad thing.

Yeah, I fuckin love being alone, living alone, not talking to people. I’m alone a lot, but I’m not lonely. There’s a big difference

Guys is there a way to use complex filtering on the Boost app. Maybe a regex? I wanna be able to filter all headlines that include the phrase Google CEO unless it also contains the phrase 'head explodes'.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If(match(/.*(Google CEO).*(head explodes).*/gi,title_text)){pass}

It's beyond me that anyone understands this stuff.

It just filters for anything "Google CEO" anything "head explodes" anything^1^. However, this alone won't help since you will also need another rule that doesn't let anything pass that contains just "Google CEO" with a lower priority.

^1^ Except newlines

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Perhaps something like "Google CEO.*(?!head explodes)" Which would match if "Google CEO" isn't at some point followed by "head explodes"
