This comic sounded like pure science fiction when I first saw it 15 years ago.

Now it's basically here, people really are getting attached to AI bf/gfs. It's only a matter of time until romance scams start using LLMs.

Scams have been using LLMs for a while. know of two people so far that got their card stolen and used to buy chatgpt subs.

I have also seen examples in the wild of 'helpful spambots' from https://xkcd.com/810/

They'd give LLM-generated answers on reddit and then include a mention of their product at the end.

I selected the "kittens" image with Google Lens and it had no problems.

the alt text is the real talk, people are getting attached to simulated emotions in frictionless interactions

*People are craving meaningful and intimate connection to that extent, that the imitation lures them.

Here, FTFY.
