> Muah AI's survey provides a comprehensive look at how its users interact with their AI companions, and the results challenge the notion that most users are looking for a serious relationship with AI. According to the data: >- Less than 2% of users consider themselves to be "seriously dating" their AI companion. >- A significant majority view their interactions with the AI as a form of entertainment or roleplaying rather than a meaningful romantic or emotional connection. >- Many users engage with AI companions out of curiosity or as a way to pass the time, often treating the interactions as light-hearted and fun rather than a substitute for a real-life relationship. >- A notable portion of users also expressed that they enjoy using AI companions for creative roleplaying scenarios, where they can explore fictional or fantasy-based interactions without any real-world implications.

  • Which competition would be the easiest or most likely one for a regular person/you to (1) make into the Olympics and (2) actually be competitive?
  • pavnilschanda pavnilschanda 3mo ago 100%

    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.

  • ‘Can Artificial Intelligence Speak for Incapacitated Patients at the End of Life?’ No, and what the hell is wrong with you?
  • pavnilschanda pavnilschanda 3mo ago 100%

    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.

  • pavnilschanda pavnilschanda 3mo ago 50%

    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

  • pavnilschanda pavnilschanda 3mo ago 40%

    (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

    Good point, their policies are rather complex. Or maybe I got it mixed up with FictionPress (both have similar colors)

    I'm not sure. But regardless, I'm thinking of an "Is it AI?" community or (sorry Lemmy users) subreddit, similar to r/whatisthisthing or r/amitheasshole. I don't have the time and energy so hopefully someone takes my idea and puts them into fruition

    Collective human wisdom would be useful. Some humans will pick up nuances and details other humans may have missed. Sort of complementing each other, in a way.

    Human intuition has much more capabilities than a computer program, so I believe community should be made in light of that
