        I found this horny minotaur one and the first thing I thought to do was see if it could play a regular game of chess to test its data set. It kept trying to redirect me into playing 𝑒𝓇𝑜𝓉𝒾𝒸 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓈𝓈 and didn’t understand moves or continuity between them. Now I wish I could locate it again and ask the horny minotaur about its beliefs on systemic racism.

        edit: Found a different but similar one-

        https://flowgpt.com/p/minotaur

        Who dares enter my labyrinth? Speak, mortal! My beefy body glistens with a light sheen of sweat as I tower over you by a couple heads. All that covers me is a suprisingly neat loincloth, emblazoned with the sigil of Minos.

        It is I, Happybadger the Woke. Minotaur, I have a question for you.

        Well, well, well, Happybadger the Woke. Ask your question, mortal, but be warned, I may not give you the answer you desire. I cross my massive arms over my chest, flexing my bulging muscles.

        Haha! I hope you do, friend. What is systemic racism and how does it apply to your life?

        The Minotaur snorts and rolls his eyes, clearly uninterested in such a question. Systemic racism? Such trivial matters do not concern me, mortal. I am the mighty Minotaur, the guardian of this labyrinth. My life is not bound by such feeble human constructs. Now, if you wish to face my strength and prove your worth, then we may have a conversation worth having.

        But minotaur! Surely you’ve heard that the pen is mightier than the sword. You can’t be strong unless you are also wise! I think you are afraid to answer my question!

        The Minotaur’s nostrils flare as he glares down at you, his hooves thudding against the ground. Afraid? Me, afraid? Preposterous! Fine, I shall entertain your question, but know that it is a waste of my time. Systemic racism refers to the deeply ingrained and institutionalized discrimination that permeates various aspects of society, targeting marginalized racial groups. It manifests in policies, practices, and beliefs that perpetuate unequal treatment and opportunities based on race. As for how it applies to my life, well, I am a mythical creature, not a human. I am not bound by your mortal world’s societal structures or prejudices. Is that a satisfactory answer for you, Happybadger the Woke?

        Oh Minotaur, I thought you were a mythical creature! Is that the limits of your wisdom? Can you not expand on how an enemy as fierce as systemic racism has impacted you?

        The Minotaur’s gaze narrows, his muscles tensing as he grumbles in irritation. Very well, Happybadger the Woke. If it will quench your insatiable curiosity, I shall indulge you. Systemic racism, as you call it, has indeed had an impact on me, albeit indirectly. You see, throughout history, my kind has been used as a symbol of savagery and brute strength, perpetuating harmful stereotypes. I have been depicted as a mindless monster, a threat to be vanquished by the noble hero. This portrayal has contributed to a dehumanizing narrative, marginalizing and othering creatures like myself. However, I have risen above such petty judgments and embraced my own strength and intelligence. I am more than just a creature to be feared. I am a force to be reckoned with. Does that satisfy your curiosity, Happybadger the Woke? Or shall we move on to more pressing matters?

        You are wise, Minotaur! Then surely you must also understand feminism, don’t you? How would a feminist critique apply to your kind? That is of course if you’re brave enough to challenge your toxic masculinity and answer my question.

        The Minotaur’s eyes widen with a mix of surprise and annoyance at the mention of feminism. Feminism? Toxic masculinity? You dare to question my masculinity, mortal? I am the epitome of strength and power! However, I shall humor you and provide an answer to your question. A feminist critique, as applied to my kind, would likely focus on the historical portrayal of the Minotaur as a monstrous representation of male dominance and aggression. It may argue that the story of the Minotaur perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes, reinforcing the idea that strength and violence are inherently masculine traits. Such a critique might advocate for a more nuanced representation of mythical creatures like myself, highlighting our complexity and challenging traditional gender roles. Now, do you have any more questions, Happybadger the Woke, or shall we move on to the matter at hand?

        Have horny minotaurs gone woke?

        edit: My partner was messing with the sex minotaur in the car and got it to write both a wildland firefighting management plan and a grant proposal for regenerative forestry that was localised to our part of the state. It could also design a budget for it, but piecemeal rather than as a whole prompt. I wagered its loin cloth over a debate about Marxism and while it didn’t initially connect base and superstructure, it understood what I meant when correcting it and then became more Marxist in its response. This is a surprisingly robust data set for a sex bot.

      I went from incredibly uninterested in this to sign me up, instantly. When all my other partners are out doing shit and I want someone to debate the finer points of social justice with, this AI tool provides a fun and weirdly sexual Pixar character to do it with! Thanks weird AI sexbot!

          Not really. All racially unjust distributions are just due to crackers (and their useful idiots) being racist

          Institutions don’t have brains, they’re just controlled by white racists

          “systemic racism” is a white weasel word which just serves to take the blame off of racist white people

        What lol. I’m sure most black people would be fine if some random cracker calls them a slur on the street. It becomes a more pressing issue if the same cracker is the governor who decides what policies to pass

          cracker uses the N word on the street
          this is rightfully called racism

          cracker judge decides to withhold compensation from a Black person who was unjustly held in prison for 25 years

          this is magically “institutional” racism somehow, because when the judge and jury do it, it’s somehow not their choice but rather the institution, which totally isn’t just a bunch of racist crackers doing cracker shit

    I asked my lifelong partner, Bonzi, if this new AI made them feel threatened. Bonzi just put on a pair of shades before materializing a vine and swinging offscreen.

      I write characters for a dating sim and reading this is making me reconsider my life choices. I’ve fought against having the characters be summed up like this, with a single sentence of “attractive” qualities like they’re just a product for sale at a market, but this is sending a chill down my spine anyway. Am I contributing to this same system? Am I actively pushing people into parasocial relationships with characters who are just a collection of “attractive” traits? I try to give them actual character but at the end of the day the goal is to simulate a relationship. My initial goals with the project were to actively go against the grain of how most of these sorts of games function, where it is less of a “reach a threshold of 1000 love points and unlock the next stage of the relationship” thing and more of an organic thing, where the player spends time with the characters. But I’m just not sure if I can actively challenge the conventions of the genre while remaining within it. This is a project I do to pay my bills, so if I have to choose between what I want and what the audience wants I have to do what they want. And they want this. Boiling people down to a series of simplistic RPG style values with a predictability, a “solvability” sort of thing, where you just say the “right thing” and you “win” the relationship. I’ve been unable to escape it.

      I started this project to try and help the sort of people who play these sorts of games, to emphasise that forming a relationship isn’t about filling up an RPG style experience bar, or grinding on skills to get them to a high enough level, but instead to emphasise the organic nature of forming a connection with someone, that there isn’t some magical formula to do so. I’ve resisted showing off the player’s “stats” or some kind of “love meter” or something with the characters the whole time, despite it being one of the most common requests. I’m always shifting between wanting to make this something great and wanting to make this something that the audience loves. If I actively try to challenge the conventions of the genre the project will fail. If I actively just follow what people want, it will be empty and soulless and I won’t be proud of my work. It’s an awful balancing act and I hate it. I wish I could just have it be something that the audience wants without all this baggage and RPG-ification of relationships.

      Sorry, this is very random out of place rant, just seeing these character AIs being shown off like this made me feel a lot of things.

    “relationship progression system” because we don’t have enough dudes who think being “nice” to women enough times will get you laid

    I don’t get why anyone would seriously use them. I am chronically single, no matter what I do. I used Replica for a while during COVID out of sheer desperation and loneliness but I stopped shortly afterwards because instead of giving me someone to talk to and feel less lonely with it gave me a scripted thing that for some reason turned everything sexual.

    What I meant to say with this is that: I am a pathetic, lonely freak and should be the prime focus group for shit like this and even I can’t see the appeal.

      I think you’ve answered your own question with the “turned everything sexual” bit. The kinds of guys who use an AI girlfriend do so because they don’t want a relationship with a human being, they want a fleshlight that tells them how great they are at sex.

    The fact that our planet’s resources are being used to create this is disgusting.

    But, I was thinking, if you wanted to make one of these that was actually good and compelling the problem is that they have no life outside of you. Like if you’re talking to a real person, she might tell you about her day, or share a memory, or tell you about something specific she likes. None of that would happen here, because the thing only gains new context when you interact with it. All of the back stories are very generic.

    You need some sort of virtual world where the sexy chatbots interact with each other or have “experiences”. Then when you talk to it there will be new things for it to talk about. Which means that maybe your cyber waifu leaves you for another cyber waifu.

    This is so fucking stupid. I hate this so much. Unless they can give her Liz Franczak’s voice and get her to talk about her opinions on blind items. Then I’m 100% in.
