“man who treated his wife as subservient property cant tell the difference when she is replaced with an LLM”

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

Do we know that's how he treated her? I know literally nothing about these people aside from recognizing their names

That tells me more about him and his late wife than AI.

"Perhaps most strangely of all, Somers’ AI clone was designed to dispense health advice, which was allegedly cleared by doctors. Given the tech’s strong tendency to hallucinate facts, we’ll have to take Hamel by his word that AI Somers won’t be misleading the public — let alone mindlessly shilling health products currently featured on SuzanneSomers.com, where the clone will eventually be hosted."

What a world.

Tell me you have dementia without telling me you have dementia...

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 week ago

I think that's being generous, it sounds more like greed:

Somers’ fans “can come and just hang out with her,” Hamel told People. “They can ask her any questions they want. She’ll be available 24/7, and I think it’ll be really wonderful.”

This shit is ghoulish.

I guess he didn't know her all that well.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can tell the difference.

Well this isn't dystopian or anything.

Ah, yes its called dementia

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

It just keeps telling him that it's physically impossible for them to have sex, so yeah he's pretty much right.

That is a bit disturbing.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

fuckin gross.

🤮

glad she's dead because she'd be disgusted by him even more now.

The thigh master is making a comeback?

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

This is like the opposite of Anakin Skywalker.... this guy became so obsessed with his wife, he literally turned some machine into his image of her. This is just sad.
