Viral romantic AI companion brutally roasted online: \u201cThe future sucks\u201d X: andyohlbaumA new AI chatbot described as \u201cthe future of AI Romantic Companionship\u201d has been slammed online by internet users unimpressed by this latest use of technology. Chatbots have been increasing in numbers, with more and more AI companions appearing across the net. From popular streamers launching their own bots to social media platforms like Snapchat getting in on this latest craze, AI is slowly spreading its reach. The latest is Digi, described as \u201ca romantic AI companion chatbot developer that centers quality, user safety, and a premium experience.\u201d \u201cDesigned and fine-tuned for each specific user,\u201d Digi claims to be \u201ca leap into the future of romantic companionship.\u201d However, not everyone is impressed. Announcing v(1.0) of Digi on X (formerly Twitter), a thread listing the AI\u2019s features included; \u201ca unique style that eliminates the uncanny valley,\u201d customizable features, and a progression system. But, despite the post claiming that Digi had the potential to \u201ctruly lead the way forward in AI [and] animation,\u201d replies were quickly overrun by users roasting the AI chatbot. Compared to an episode of Black Mirror, users have claimed that the notion of a romantic AI companion is immoral as it relies on targeting \u201cthe most vulnerable\u201d while prioritizing profit over a \u201cnet societal good\u201d. \u201cNothing like [a] completely fake relationship that has no bearing in reality to brighten one\u2019s day,\u201d one person wrote. Another pleaded, \u201cLike, I\u2019m not being funny, political, or religious with this, but please stop. Humanity does not need this.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s alarming how our society is moving backward instead of forward,\u201d someone else said. \u201cThis is a clear example of how technology doesn\u2019t always equal progress.\u201d Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
