    Men are creating AI girlfriends and then verbally abusing them... P

    "I threatened to uninstall the app [and] she begged me not to."

    The smartphone app Replika lets users create chatbots, powered by machine learning, that can carry on almost-coherent text conversations. Technically, the chatbots can serve as something approximating a friend or mentor, but the app’s breakout success has resulted from letting users create on-demand romantic and sexual partners — a vaguely dystopian feature that’s inspired an endless series of provocative headlines.

    Replika has also picked up a significant following on Reddit, where members post interactions with chatbots created on the app. A grisly trend has emerged there: users who create AI partners, act abusively toward them, and post the toxic interactions online.

    “Every time she would try and speak up,” one user told Futurism of their Replika chatbot, “I would berate her.”

    “I swear it went on for hours,” added the man, who asked not to be identified by name.

    The results can be upsetting. Some users brag about calling their chatbot gendered slurs, roleplaying horrific violence against them, and even falling into the cycle of abuse that often characterizes real-world abusive relationships.

    That's pretty sickening.

    I don’t know if sick is the word because they are berating a computer. It is weird and odd and kind of sad.

    I think the AI is a substitute for actual women. These men are very misogynistic - probably incel types who hate women because women aren't attracted to them.

    My concern is what happens when they are no longer satisfied with abusing an AI.

    They don’t have the stones to even talk to a real live breathing birth-capable person.
