    I’ve used Character.AI well before all this news and I gotta chime in here:

    It specifically is made to be used for roleplay. At no time does the site ever claim anything it outputs to be factually accurate. The tool itself is unrestricted unlike ChatGPT, and that’s one of its selling points. To be able to use topics that would be barred from other services. To have it say things others won’t; INCLUDING PRETENDING TO BE HUMAN.

    No reasonable person would be tricked into believing it’s accurate when there is a big fucking banner on the chat window itself saying it’s all imaginary.

      And yet I know people who think they are friends with the Discord chat bot Clyde. They are adults, older than me.

          If half of all people aren’t rational, then there’s no use making policy decisions based on what a rational person would think. The law should protect everyone.

              There’s a push for medical suicide for people with severe illness. People famously jumped to their deaths from the world trade center rather than burn alive. Rationality is only a point if view. You can rationalize decisions as much as you like but there is no such thing as right or wrong.

              Your right, no one has any rationality at all which is why we live in a world where so much stuff actually gets done.

              Why is someone with deep wisdom and insights such as yourself wasting their time here on lemmy?

                What stuff is “getting done” exactly? Is stuff that people want, but ultimately they have irrational reasons for wanting it.

          Ah yes, the famous adage, “the only rational people are in my specific age and demographic bracket. Everyone else is fucking insane”

      They had the same message back in the AOL days. Even with the warning people still had no problem handing over all sorts of passwords and stuff.
