im not sure about that… whenever i turn to an LM for anything i feel guilty, cuz peeps online keep telling me that i should discuss things with real peeps.
but… real peeps are
not available at the moment
having difficulties with matrix notifications
eeping rn
dont know things about the topic
dont know me well enough to have a sensible convo
difficulties themselves
so… i just dont contact em and feel guilty.
havent used an LM for comfort talk yet cuz… that feels like its a bit too wrong for me. yes, even for me. its the point where i go “yea oki im just getting a wanna-be-helpful cputer answer here, this is useless”.
I mean, if you’re literally telling it exactly what to say, I didn’t think it’s a big deal. It’s when you expect more genuine connection that it becomes a potential problem
I guess maybe you could get it to tell you the same thing in different ways, or generate a conversation where it called you a good girl. It’s just a language machine, so trying to get affirming language on request isn’t gonna mislead you like some uses of AI (fucking google search blurbs 🤬).
That said, I think having a text to speech model call you a good girl would be an even better use of machine learning. Getting an NPC in a video game to say my chosen name was really helpful for me back in the day, and having a model read out custom tailored affirming statements would be really euphoric. Nothing really compares to hearing someone name and gender you correctly.
yesyes butbut i dont consider NPCs as someone >~< u know?
like- yesyes TTS is fun and like- sure, hearing the name u wanna hear is also fun-
but like- idunno… this feels a bit too sad iguess.
id rather have nobody and nothing say a thing rather than programming a computer to do so. but that is infact personal preference.
currently Tomodachi Life is giving me comfys where i can dress up a fictional variant of myself in fun clothing and have her try foods id not wanna try-
It’s less about replacing real people acknowledging you, and more about affirming yourself with a tool. Hearing someone refer to you with your chosen name for the first time simply hits different.

i mean-… if i wanted a computer to tell me that i would just umm…
maria@fedora:~$ echo "good girl" good girl maria@fedora:~$ awwawaw dont say that >///<u see?
using an LM to repeat some words at me is a pretty bad use of a language model in my onion 🧅
one could make the argument:
(in the case of language models that is)
so like - i was kinda assuming u ment the more genuine connection type stuff and i went like
whaaaaa noooout of reflex-ive seen too many peeps fall into LM-rp spirals…

bad game, but okay time-waster.
