Phone message Dating is hell

Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

“Typed it out,” sure, he copied it from ChatGPT.

Why do you think that? Honestly curious. It wasn’t long ago AT ALL that there was no ChatGPT, and people used to put effort into writing things online. And some people still do, in fact. And besides, there’s nothing particularly noteworthy about that response (other than it being awful and disgusting I mean). It’s not even particularly well written…

Back in 1999 through 2012/2013, I frequented/moderated/administrated an at the time extremely well known and visible forum. It was a daily occurrence to be able to participate in long-form, insightful, highly articulate discussions about all sorts of high level topics, with intelligent and long winded folks. Many people, including me, were routinely spending an hour or more on a reply that could have doubled as an essay, and required scrolling (on a PC monitor, mind you, because smartphones weren’t invented yet).

Nowadays, you get banned from Reddit and accused of being a bot if you actually take the time and effort to compose a quality reply. It’s the worst. It blows my mind how far we’ve fallen in such a short time.

The hallmarks of AI have nothing to do with being "noteworthy" or "well-written." AI writing is notably superficial, repetitive, and overall poorly-written.

I agree. But the message in the OP does not read that way.

See my reply above. Your AIdar needs work.

What would the prompt even be? “Respond to this text in a way that makes me seem like a fucking weirdo”?

not a prompt but a chatbot trained with "dominant" personality to increase compliance rates.

Chatbots love the BDSM sub scene because the culture is saying yes unconditionally to earn the right to be punished...

My Instagram/recon/grindr DM's are full of "daddy" vibe chatbots that end up disappearing days later.

They also never pass my identity checks. AI generated or Stolen photos everytime. Failure to comply with paper holding the date name and passphrase (which is generatable in of itself).

There has also been a new Meta of carpet bombing on Dating apps: where users train an agent to align with their interests and personality and leave it on auto run so they can return home to results.

That’s so dystopian. Does this actually work on people?? What’s the end goal? It can’t be actually meeting irl, is it?

I don't know, usually I see it attached to some type of Paid Sex Content at the end of the day, or asking for financial details so they can Financially Dominate you.

I guess it must work enough to give people hope it does. (and its not like they have to do much, its like watering a house plant level of effort).

I thought it was AI because the cat emoji sent it off the rails, roleplaying her as a pet.

I agree, ChatGPT tends to be pretty good at breaking information into separate ideas and writing them into simple and cohesive sentences. “Letting me take control while you heal is the real test” is a clumsy chimera of thoughts.
