My kid is younger than alpha, but fucking hates ai stuff. He just yells faaaaake and skips the ad.
He will probably have deep trust issues and not be able to discern real from fake from now on though, but I think we’re all heading for that.

Gen Alpha's parents are... let me check my notes... Millenials. Aw Fuck.
plenty of millenials also use AI chatbots.
It's quite the mass experiment we're doing here. Seems irresponsible of parents to allow this.
Teach your kids that AI is shit from the start. And, while you're at it model responsible use of tech generally. If you sit staring at your phone, that's what your kid will do.
Except… that fuels rebelliousness. “Oh, dad told me it was bad; it must be good then, somehow.” Gotta get hip with it so they get weirded and grossed out.
this is precisely with kids don't want to drink or smoke weed anymore, their parents do it, talk openly about it, and it's lame.
might also be why they are not having sex anymore, because their parents made it boring and lame.

If you don't like how you kid turns out, its your fault. You raised them.
I agree but disagree, so far as I've noticed, the only thing you really have control over, when raising little people to be big people, is if they do or don't have trauma. Weirdly enough, they're like their whole own person and mostly nothing like you, from day dot, and the bits that are like you, they'll try to snuff out, because ew parents, lame, or something. Probably doesn't help that I'm a massive goof. There's no controlling, there's just walking along side, and helping them with the hard bits. It's pure chaos. My favourite thing.
don't worry, they will find a way to blame you and feel traumatized, specially now that trauma is a badge of honor.
I have met many 30 somethings who think thier parents 'traumatized' them by being good parents to them, or not 'good enough'. or who are convinced their parents ruined them because their parents gave them too much privilege... who fantasize about like having bad parents as if it would make them a better person... it's insane and wild.
also had people lecture me on how my parents, who were poor and uneducated, must have been amazing because their wealthy educated parents were awful and made their life too easy, and mine made my life difficult so they were really good parents...
You're a bad parent

What Cleverbot and I do in our bedroom is between us.
I want AI gooners to be trapped in private than to be out harrassing anyone. I think it's a much less harmful alternative than finding someone to pay for services or trapping some poor person in a relation. Watching am incel get mad at a woman because they don't follow anime logic is reallly uncomfortable.
I want sex work to be legal and sex workers to enjoy the same standards and protections of any other worker. Forming a parasocial relationship with a fake digital entity should be way more harmful than paying for a sex worker's services.
I totally agree. VR sex with new peripherals and drivers written in rust with buttplug.rs is the way to go.
Yeah but I'd prefer they strive to be better and learn to fit in with other people
That's some "soshillust" talk right there! We aint supposed to be nice to each other, Jesus says so in the Bibble. /s
Parasocial Attachment to a Hallucination Box meticulously configured to lie at you as convincingly as possible. It deals you a drug that you mistake for "validation" by spitting out words statistically weighted to come across in a flattering light. It understands you, itself, and the world even less than Cargo Cults comprehend Aerospace Engineering. Gorging yourself on the slop it shits out every time you type something and hit [enter] will leave your imagination in paralysis. You'll only have yourself to blame. Don't do it. You'll be happier without it.
have you seen sports fans, or the endless religious stupidity? How you can be passionate about some overpaid dickhead running around a field is the same stupidity as this.
how people become attached to some billionaires team defies my understanding, as does an AI girlfriend
i mean, it's not much different than parasocial relationships with podcasters, streamers, and other such things.
those people also just tell their audience what they want to hear and flatter them endlessly.
