This comic sounded like pure science fiction when I first saw it 15 years ago.
Now it's basically here, people really are getting attached to AI bf/gfs. It's only a matter of time until romance scams start using LLMs.
I have also seen examples in the wild of 'helpful spambots' from https://xkcd.com/810/
They'd give LLM-generated answers on reddit and then include a mention of their product at the end.
I selected the "kittens" image with Google Lens and it had no problems.
(2009)
the alt text is the real talk, people are getting attached to simulated emotions in frictionless interactions
*People are craving meaningful and intimate connection to that extent, that the imitation lures them.
Here, FTFY.
