Snapchat influencer Caryn Marjorie put out a chatbot, CarynAI, supposedly based on herself. You could talk to the robot Caryn for $1 per minute! CarynAI took in $70,000 in its first week. Marjorie …
Marjorie now has a few hundred people (people who clearly can’t discern fantasy from reality in their emotional lives) who have become obsessed with her based on a fantasy…an avowedly uncomfortable, very horny fantasy that they’ve each invested thousands of dollars into. Surely that could have no possible pitfalls or dangers whatsoever.
On the bright side, it isn’t like Marjorie interfered with a video game that they really like…oh, um…uh oh.

That’s a good point.
I guess I would slowly try to make the AI different from herself?
Not sure how, but I’d be tempted to have an alternate persona or sunshine for 70k a week. Like Paris Hilton or something.
