With every sci-fi story that’s been written incorporated into its training data, an LLM chatbot roleplaying an ‘AI’ persona is going to mindlessly auto-complete the most likely next thing that happens right after humans hand over control of the important dangerous thing to AI and trust it to make life-and-death decisions. It doesn’t have to be actually intelligent to be dangerous, it just has to be more intelligent than the people who think it is intelligent- and in my opinion it’s already there.

I wish that were my reaction to this. Instead, it’s a “DUH. No shit.”

Don’t stay inside. Find the nearest place to where you live with a lot of trees and few people, and go there, and walk. It won’t cure it, but at least won’t make matters worse the way sitting being sad in your room will.

Well, the purpose of a first date is to find out if you both “initially like” each other, right? If so, there will be a second date; if not- not. So this sounds like a first-and-last date scenario, either way.

That means it’s an easy choice. I have to go with #1- no awkward burden of trying to get rid of her in a diplomatic way. No one is losing any sleep over why that weird boring guy they dated one time and didn’t like, never called back .

In reality though- dating isn’t a thing I do or would start doing. So not really qualified to advise on it.
