I read up on the "uncanny valley" theories. While many of the theories contain parts that seem plausible, I think I know why--for me--AI boy-pics are not "hot" and not wankable. It's this: You can't please AI--it is not human. It's 100% fake, and there is nothing behind it but a computer program, written by a programmer, who has assigned a shitload of "tokens"--pieces considered meaningful (arbitrarily at the whim of the programmer) which are recombined following the grammar rules built into the program to produce human-like responses. But it isn't, and probably never can be, human. It lacks all capacity to think or feel. Everything is by rote. AI-LLM chatbots are extremely clever--and infinitely stupid--at the same time. The problem is that, to me, pleasing boys (yeah, and myself, too--my bad) is what BoyLove is all about. And you cannot please a robot... Of course, your mileage may vary... M. I discussed with a AI-LLM chatbot the ethics of presenting itself as human, and--in essence--it said that one should never think of it as being real or of it being human. It's just a very fancy way of organizing ones and zeros. Impressive, but essentially devoid of real meaning. |
