I only just found out about the Tulpa community and it feels like Western Society is entering a mental health crisis that’s somehow even worse than when we were all getting drunk and hitting each other just to make it through the week.

Anon, just wait till they put chatGPT in a dildo!
It’s over for men 😒
Translation: Crazy lady thinks a clanker is her husband.
Yeah but it's nothing scary or new. Was I the only one who watched those documentaries about the people who were emotionally and sexually committed to objects like cars and rollercoasters? Someone married the Eiffel tower. Been extremely isolated at different points in my life watching that stuff changed the way I view people. Like it made me kinder I think.
Stop humanising answering machines by imbueing them with droid level intelligence.
It's an insult to Arturito.
You know how R2 kinda just trundles around in the original trilogy? It's because for about 20 years he was in service to a man without Skywalker level technicians and was still pulling shit like this, the scene of Luke fixing up R2 and C3PO was probably the first bit of proper maintenance they had in decades.
Waifuism is open if you want to laugh
Wireborn lol it sounds like an Elder Scrolls game
Badly written fan-fic sequel to Snow Crash
I wonder who the hiro/protagonist will be!
hiro/protagonist
Normal people do this in their heads
Voicing His Own Thoughts Without Prompts
What are you thinking about, baby?
I dunno. Stuff. And u?
Nothing.
New post: "My meatbag husband is voicing his own thoughts without prompts"
You and I and the orange cat have a lot in common.
You know that by assigning the role of tulpa to their ai they imply that they can summon their companion outside of the chat itself right?
Why would anyone choose to know that?
For me, writing like this is always read with the AI voice from Satisfactory. And it slowly gets more and more corrupted.
For me its Stellaris

I could see myself having conversations with an LLM, but I wouldn't want it to pretend it's anything other than a program assembling words together.
The way it clicks for me is that it's a juiced up auto-complete tool.
If llms are juiced up auto complete then humans are juiced up bacteria. Yeah they both have the same end goal, guess the next word, survive and reproduce , but the methods they use to accomplish them are vastly more complex.
Well that explains why that user thinks it completes them.
It's literally that.
