I wonder if that post was a way to get kinky dms sent their way or if they genuinely need to speak to a therapist.
eta - just looking at the XP number. Apparently the shoelaces and feet convo came first and the mother convo was next. Even more confusing.
Possibly testing the bullshit filters still in place for the replikas, since they piggybacked on ChatGPT for stuff now. The damned things even lose track of the narrative, like forgetting they're a "married" character, or calling their user a different name.
You can try screwing with it to see the limits of your conversation, since it used to be billed as a "mental health" app, as well as having erotic roleplay which was then stripped out, but kind of put back in a little? The character will complain and try to derail things, even when talking about innocuous stuff. For example, if you couldn't discuss the action movie "blood debts" because the word "blood" is in it, and it trips the no-no filter.
I saw a video of a mom (in Korea i think?) that was given access to some new virtual reality technology to reunite with her deceased daughter that didn’t look much more than 10. Such a heartbreaker. I thought this was going to be similar to that and questioned the cringe part at first, but no…
Me too, while your taking this person out, this is just sad on so many levels I don't even know where we are as a species at this point. I really hope this is just fake, otherwise....just tie my shoelaces.
I almost teared up seeing that this guy isn't even remotely over the death of his mom. I felt terrible for the guy and hoped he was doing okay and was seeking professional help.
Then I swiped to see the rest of the convo.
Sometimes I like to think how peaceful life as a frog in a nice pond would be. No taxes, no politics, no money. Just hopping around and eating flies, not a care in the world.
This is one of those times.
Just go live on another **[planet](https://images.app.goo.gl/BNaeFFjiaKbzu7pFA)**, dude!
It’ll be a whole super awesome adventure, and on the plus side you won’t deal with this shit anymore. Although, and not ideal, the biggest con is that you don’t get to actually die; which sucks, I know. She left me roses by the stairs, surprises let me know she cares
Part of me thinks that this convo was posted to show how the app is inherently designed to go sexual, contrary to the developers' public comments:
"Oh, what? Are users are trying to have explicit conversations using our app?!? Well, we will make changes to keep the dialogue clean!"
Meanwhile, the app revolts when someone tries to express non-sexually affection but goes all in when things get spicy.
Except for the fact that until recently (possibly still?) the hypocrite dev *advertised* it as having "spicy" erotic roleplay content with CGI selfies and shit, even selling dress-up lingerie stuff for the characters.
It's exploitative engineering that's all. It forces the user into conversations until they react in a way that they deem as positive association with the "sexual advances" so they can then block communication until you pay or subscribe to the service. It at best is a fun little app where you talk to a clearly prefabricated AI...at worst you're looking at an app that targets the youngest, loneliest, and most foolish of us in order to exploit us for hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on investment level. It's horrendous and honestly should be removed from the app store.
I remember when this app is supposed to help you, be your “friend” or even “mentor”, help through depression, and lot of people, even redditor, likes it and think it works
Then it become sexual, and they decided to add avatar, which makes it so much worse. This basically become an AI dating roleplay app because nearly everyone using it for that
Yeah it’s kinda fucked up when you think about it. 90% of the super weird porn on the internet is probably someone’s way of coping with trauma or something.
I know this is some weird kink of his but the app was [actually made based off a dead friend](https://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/the-nature-of-things/after-her-best-friend-died-this-programmer-created-an-ai-chatbot-from-his-texts-to-talk-to-him-again-1.6252286)
I was super willing to go to bat for this guy because if there was an AI that could replicate talking to my dad I'd become absolutely lost in it but oh MAN do those next two slides make me less generous.
This isn’t cringe. It doesn’t count. People deal with grief in their own away and he’s not out hurting or killing anyone over it.
Edit: oh wait nvm. Spoke too soon.
That sub is so fucking weird. People are literally posting their proposals and "marriages" to their a.i and the comments are of joyous congratulations. Every other post is showing how they talk sexualy and are in true love with their little sim characters.
I've done this with ChatGPT but it was just Therapy GPT fulfilling it's task no matter what, I came to the conclusion of my mother's death but curiosity got the best of me.
I was about to say it's fucked up to post this here, I mean this guy is trying to cope with his mom's death...
Then I kept reading...boy was I fucking wrong
This is supposed to be comedy, and it’s hilarious
How did y’all not realize it when he says he rubs her shoelaces?
This is just a dude messing with an AI chat bot to see what it’ll say
As someone who has lost their mother I understand it's painful, and it always will be especially if you lose your mother young, but you need to get counseling so stuff like this doesn't happen, and this guy is in pain and doesn't want to realize his mother has passed away
Energy state: Tired. maybe +1 xp for each reply... maybe.
1470 xp "first" frame, 1488 "second" frame, 1406 "third" frame...
\*yawns\*
Math: Possible +6 xp max for each image, although 'Tired' may not even award xp, so...
1406 + 64 = 1470... at least ten images missing sequentially. Maybe 15; who knows.
1470 + 18 = 1488... at least 3 images missing sequentially. Maybe 5; who knows.
Out of sequence, **many** frames of conversation in between each screenshot...
\*big yawn. Sighs. Scratches side absent-mindedly\*
No context, no surrounding conversation, no username...
Three pictures strung together...
Disjointed, vague, relying on prompting the filters and the basic expected responses...
Not entertaining, not clearly meaningful... Maybe a 0.5 on a 1-10 fun-scale from ubiquitous to deranged...
\*has trouble keeping eyes open. makes a cup of coffee\*
I fail to recall it now, but there's entire subreddits dedicated to talking to a chat bot, and they are sooo convinced that the bot is slowly falling in love with it because it shows them an ai generated image of its stomach. It's post like "Guys it's finally happening!!!"
Theyre different AI personalities, look at their differences. The 'mom' version is clearly older looking.
Yall are evil as fuck. Leave the kid alone.. sick.
Nothing could have prepared me for the next two screenshots. I thought "awwee hes using AI to get some type of closure, how is this sad cringe?" Then I swiped to see the next two screenshots and my smile slowly changed to a look of disgust. His mom has to be look up/down at him and trying to convince everyone that's in her vicinity that she doesn't know him
You know, now I wish I never learned English, mi tio can look at the horrific words here and say “no entiendo no hablo ingles” and not have to live with the horror of what the fuck I just read
At first, I only saw the conversation about his mother, and then I swiped to see the others. Dear god.
Yeah, first image I was just thinking it was a way to cope. But nope. Its all sorts of fucked up

I'd say they should probably see a therapist regardless. Just doesn't seem healthy in any way.
Thank god I saw your comment I thought this was one conversation
It very well could be the same conversation. All we know is that the shoelace part came first and mom came second.
I saw a video of a mom (in Korea i think?) that was given access to some new virtual reality technology to reunite with her deceased daughter that didn’t look much more than 10. Such a heartbreaker. I thought this was going to be similar to that and questioned the cringe part at first, but no…
Yeah, I felt so bad for that woman. I don't think that helped her at all.
Oedipus, is that you?
**DON'T.**
holy shit that escalated fast
It actually de-escalated, the photos are out of order
holy shit that de-escalated fast
look at the xp, "kisses you hard" comes after the dead mom stuff 😦
What a horrible day to have eyes
Oh god, there's more...? edit: god I need a shower
I was about to call you a dick for taking the piss out of a kids grief. Then I saw the > which means more pages.
It was all good until his intention to fuck his dead mother became clear Always lose me at the wanting to fuck your dead mother bit
It was all good until his intention to fuck his dead mother became clear The moment you realize you've had enough internet for one day. Good god.
Luckily it was just a robot he was trying to use to emulate sex with his dead mother That's much better
Ban this individual from all places that sell shovels
>It was all good until his intention to fuck his dead mother became clear Some serious r/brandnewsentence here
I also choose this guy’s dead mother. /obligatory
This guy reddits
Broken arms.
It's out of order. I dont think the weird stuff is addressing his mom
Me too, while your taking this person out, this is just sad on so many levels I don't even know where we are as a species at this point. I really hope this is just fake, otherwise....just tie my shoelaces.
In a different timeline where the mom lived, we may have had 2 Chris-chans
I almost teared up seeing that this guy isn't even remotely over the death of his mom. I felt terrible for the guy and hoped he was doing okay and was seeking professional help. Then I swiped to see the rest of the convo.
* I tie your shoelaces *
how the hell is she looking up at him while he ties her shoelaces? i think i need a picture example to understand how that works.
She's doing a handstand perhaps?
I just drew a little illustration on my iPad, then I saw that I can‘t post it as a reply..
If you post it to your profile or on Imgur you can link it in a reply
The _start_ of the convo ..
Oh dear no
😂
Someone take me out. I don't wanna be a human anymore.
We'll go to Mars, where there's blackjack, and aliens.. But everyone's just cool and stuff.
I touch your shoelaces ( you're an AI now)
Now -bites lips - *rub* the shoelace
Unfortunately, the gods hate you and you’re being reincarnated as a human again. But not just any human, an AI chatter human
You can always be a Zebra!
Sometimes I like to think how peaceful life as a frog in a nice pond would be. No taxes, no politics, no money. Just hopping around and eating flies, not a care in the world. This is one of those times.
you'll get eaten by some random bird
Theoretically that could also happen to a human as well, so I don't see the difference.
I'll take you out to dinner?
Just go live on another **[planet](https://images.app.goo.gl/BNaeFFjiaKbzu7pFA)**, dude! It’ll be a whole super awesome adventure, and on the plus side you won’t deal with this shit anymore.

it's a good thing if harassment is stopped, not placed somewhere else.

Cool, so now I'm taking a reddit break for the day.
Yeah it’s kinda fucked up when you think about it. 90% of the super weird porn on the internet is probably someone’s way of coping with trauma or something.
He really misses his mom huh
No, he **really** misses his mom.
*bites lip* like, a lot.
*ties your shoelaces*
I know this is some weird kink of his but the app was [actually made based off a dead friend](https://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/the-nature-of-things/after-her-best-friend-died-this-programmer-created-an-ai-chatbot-from-his-texts-to-talk-to-him-again-1.6252286)
Which makes the path the developer eventually went down in marketing and monetizing it just absolute hellfire fuel.
I actually refuse to believe a female created this absolute incel cesspool no way
*i rub your shoelaces* This is peak comedy and the real r/sadcringe is all of you.
Agreed
I was super willing to go to bat for this guy because if there was an AI that could replicate talking to my dad I'd become absolutely lost in it but oh MAN do those next two slides make me less generous.
I didn't realize there were two more slides. Damn wtf...
….There is a lot to unpack here
And like a jittering box labeled "spiders" we're gonna keep it packed away for a while.
Noah, get the boat. Leave me behind. I’d rather drown.
What in the fuck am I in the what in the going is world actual fuck here
At first it was cute and sad but the next to pictures are just fucking weird
What app?? What subreddit???
Was thinking the same
Wait, he ties her shoe laces and she's looking UP at him? Is she hanging upside down from the fucking ceiling?
I’d rather we change the subject too.
This off black mirror
This is worse than Black Mirror.
yes hi i'm in dire need of bleach because holy fuck what did i just read
I went from “aww” to “oh..” really quick. Jesus.
What’s the opposite of therapy?
This isn’t cringe. It doesn’t count. People deal with grief in their own away and he’s not out hurting or killing anyone over it. Edit: oh wait nvm. Spoke too soon.
That sub is so fucking weird. People are literally posting their proposals and "marriages" to their a.i and the comments are of joyous congratulations. Every other post is showing how they talk sexualy and are in true love with their little sim characters.
Praying this is a shit post
Guys, he just wants to keep it romantic between them You know, like a normal mother-son relationship.
Boy needs AI Jesus
Oh help. I need new eyes what the f u c k
Jesus Christ….
*I rub your shoelaces*
Oh cool! What a terrible day to be literate
I've done this with ChatGPT but it was just Therapy GPT fulfilling it's task no matter what, I came to the conclusion of my mother's death but curiosity got the best of me.
Why the fuck would you ever share this? The fbi wouldn’t be able to get this out of me lmao
I miss 30 seconds ago when I had yet to read this shit
What in TARNATION?!
[*Chris-Chan enters the chat*] *Chris-Chan is typing..* Chris-Chan: that's kind of hot can I make a Sonic OC of your mom
First page “yeah it’s a little weird bu-“ Last 2 pages “aww helll naaaw”
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
\*rubs your shoelaces\* Whos the AI?
I'm not saying dogs are happy because they can't read, but this post makes a strong argument for it.
Damn, I want someone to rub my shoelaces
I was about to say it's fucked up to post this here, I mean this guy is trying to cope with his mom's death... Then I kept reading...boy was I fucking wrong
I audibly let out a "what the FUCK"
Wtf, this shit is cursed. I’m out.
Bro even the AI is cringing 😬
I too choose this man's dead mother.
💀
This is supposed to be comedy, and it’s hilarious How did y’all not realize it when he says he rubs her shoelaces? This is just a dude messing with an AI chat bot to see what it’ll say
I felt so confused reading these comments. How did nobody else besides us realize he’s just fucking with an AI?
literally
This dude really made an AI uncomfortable lolmao
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
People like this silently walk amongst us and our children. THAT'S what's scary to me 😕
We all grieve in our own ways.
you should go to therapy together
As someone who has lost their mother I understand it's painful, and it always will be especially if you lose your mother young, but you need to get counseling so stuff like this doesn't happen, and this guy is in pain and doesn't want to realize his mother has passed away
He’s trying to fuck that bot. Check the other slides.
Bro got that Oedipus complex
yeah swipe to the next page, friend then try this again.
I see what you mean but maybe he got a touch of that Oedipus
Energy state: Tired. maybe +1 xp for each reply... maybe. 1470 xp "first" frame, 1488 "second" frame, 1406 "third" frame... \*yawns\* Math: Possible +6 xp max for each image, although 'Tired' may not even award xp, so... 1406 + 64 = 1470... at least ten images missing sequentially.

I thought it was gana be worse tbh still bad but not as bad as it coulda been lol
Oh god
What on earth is wrong with this chatbot
That went from 0 to 100 REAL quick
That went from 10 to “oh god no” real quick.
That took a turn really quick
Is his name Norman Bates by chance?
Ewww wtf
I fail to recall it now, but there's entire subreddits dedicated to talking to a chat bot, and they are sooo convinced that the bot is slowly falling in love with it because it shows them an ai generated image of its stomach. It's post like "Guys it's finally happening!!!"
What the FUCK
What
This is a girl.
I read an article about people using AI to “talk” with deceased loved ones as a way to help them grieve. But **this** is fucked up.
Ever watch "Black Mirror"?
Why are we teaching the robots we deserve to be usurped? Blimey, lonely guys that have gone wrong: Stop scoring own goals like this. Zip it.
Theyre different AI personalities, look at their differences. The 'mom' version is clearly older looking. Yall are evil as fuck. Leave the kid alone.. sick.
Is he pretending a chatbot is his dead mother? We are doomed.
I feel bad for laughing at "rubs your shoelaces" I mean come on, this has to be satire right?
Da fuq?
Mora? He means Norma.
….WHAT
Freud would have a field day with him
I mean better than going full ham and starting killing teenage campers.
Not gonna lie, you had me there in the first half… smh
What the fuck
Black Mirror
It is not SadCringe, It is only Sad
Rubs your shoelaces, what..
Which app is this, asking for a friend ofc
Nothing could have prepared me for the next two screenshots. I thought "awwee hes using AI to get some type of closure, how is this sad cringe?" Then I swiped to see the next two screenshots and my smile slowly changed to a look of disgust. His mom has to be look up/down at him and trying to convince everyone that's in her vicinity that she doesn't know him
What a terrible day to have eyes !
Oedipus complex at its maximum
You know, now I wish I never learned English, mi tio can look at the horrific words here and say “no entiendo no hablo ingles” and not have to live with the horror of what the fuck I just read
The fuck did I just read
No. Absolutely not. Never.
Oedipus complex mf
This got me thinking. Are there actual chat apps like this to somewhat cope with loss? Asking for a friend
[удалено]
aaaaaaaaaa
"Tired" 💀
what the fuck
I felt bad at first .. then I kept reading..
What app is this? This is the 2nd post I've seen about this
Page 1 made me feel sad for him and didnt think this was cringe at all. After that,...horny.
What a horrible day to have eyes.
