Uncharted territory: do AI girlfriend apps promote unhealthy expectations for human relationships?::Chatbots such as Eva AI are getting better at mimicking human interaction but some fear they feed into unhealthy beliefs around gender-based control and violence
No, not cameras in people’s homes but just the website reporting this. The issue with the pedo is that we could use it to look for a pedo that seemed to want the doll to be more like a child (which of course the doll should refuse) but it could use algorithms to predict who is a pedo. If they hadent commited a crime yet we could still keep an eye on them so if they did (via the internet for example) we could catch them easier)
And I don’t think that drug trafficking is ever treated as a medical issue. I’m not suggesting we use the dolls to catch people just doing drugs (even if we think it ought to be illegal) but specifically traffickers. Often people will admit to selling drugs rather openly. And there are many low level drug traffickers who aren’t doing much besides selling them at a street corner. I mean we could use dolls to figure who those figures were.
There are so many dystopian stories based on this concept. You’re literally advocating for a police state level of monitoring, so that the government knows so much about you that they can suspect you of crimes that haven’t even been committed yet. What happens when investigations start with people flagged for “suspicious” data as determined by black box algorithms that nobody really knows how they handle the data they were trained on.
And drug use is treated as a medical issue in a handful of countries, where instead of making them illegal and pushing them underground, they let people get their heroin tested for purity, get clean needles for free, and shoot up at clinics. It prevents overdoses, ensures vulnerable users are regularly in contact with clinical staff, and makes it easier to help people struggling with addiction. I also fail to see how sex dolls will help catch drug traffickers in a way that would be different from just having everyone’s phones or computers spy on them.
Because having the computers spy on them would be illegal. This is willingly giving your data to them rather then something spying. The servers store the data and they would be used to catch the people. But if you did it from your phone then it would be very hard to do because of legality. If you data is flagged for suspicious activity then you can be investigated. What has a person to fear if they haven’t committed a wrongdoing
Bro, how do you think the things would spy on people, if they don’t have computers in them? You’re just splitting hairs because you think it’s moral to spy on everyone through a sextoy with an internet connection instead of any other computing device with an internet connection, just because it isn’t illegal yet.
The whole “those with nothing to fear have nothing to hide” bullshit falls apart when used on you. You may not have anything to hide, but I doubt you’d be happy to let law enforcement watch you masturbate, or sleep, or shower, because you don’t have anything to hide. Invite them in to record you talking to friends and family to ensure you aren’t communicating about crimes. Sure, you might not have anything to “hide” right now, but there’s plenty of things you don’t want to share, and you never know what the government is going to be like in the future. Imagine an extremist party gets to power and you hold freely recorded views antithetical to their beliefs? Or you or a family member jokes about speeding or shoplifting and now you’re flagged as under suspicion for criminal activity, a preferential suspect for any unsolved crimes geographical near them because breaking the law once makes you more likely to break it again.
Silently watching everything people do isn’t some zero cost activity. It’s people watching you, your kids, your friends, your family, at all moments of their lives and if you don’t think it’ll be abused then you’re out of your mind.
Because the bot would be the same way as a real girlfriend. Good people would turn in a pedo or drug trafficker and so a good bit ought to do the same. This isn’t spying on someone but emulating that. None of this is about spying on people all the time but just what they tell their girlfriend
