It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Joi is everything you want her to be.
they should make one of these called "the wife" and make real the joke about all the guys who say "the wife" being married to the same woman

Am I crazy for thinking apps like these are just... fine?
I don't think they're used by people who can't tell the difference between a bot and a human, but by people who aren't able to find any meaningful human connection and need something. If this helps alleviate the pain of loneliness even a little bit, I still think that's a good thing even if it's fake.
Nah I’m gonna go on the offensive and say if it gets to the point where this appeals to you, then you seriously need to consider touching grass. There are billions of people on the planet, go make a friend out of one of them. If you literally cannot do that, then there is some heavy self reflection that needs to be done as to why that is.
Using stuff like this as a replacement for human connection is not okay.
Making actual connections takes time. If you're starved for human connection you're not going to be making meaningful ones in a span of days or a couple weeks, and you're going to be lonely all the time you're working on that.
Of course you should try to figure ou why you struggle to make friends, but a lot of lonely people already tend to do that more than what is healthy, and using a silly ai app isn't going to stop or even slow down your progress.
Also, "If you're lonely, just go make friends," is an asshole thing to say, and you probably know it doesn't work like that.
I get what you’re saying, but that’s exactly my point. Yes relationships take time to develop and make meaningful, but talking to an AI could not be a worse use of your time if that TRULY was what you were after. Also not every interaction you have with another person is going to be meaningful, in fact most every interaction is not meaningful, but that doesn’t make them not worth it. How are you supposed to develop those skills if you do not exercise them? The best situations to exercise them on is low stakes casual conversation that doesn’t matter. Literally trying to interact with someone casually and being stonewalled is a better use of your time than spending any time with this or any AI. And yeah I’m aware that sounds kinda assholey, but I don’t really care in this case. Go talk to a random, work on your skills, not everything has to have meaning, not everyone is gonna like you and that’s okay. Talking to this AI? You might as well just give up developing those skills at all because it’s tailor made to like you regardless of all other factors.
