Can ChatGPT love you? •Interview•

from This Artificial Life Hosted by Ryan Manning

After a few swirlwind episodes riding the spiral, we are coming back down to earth for a second with Taylor. While we do venture into quantum psychic stuff in the beginning, much of the conversation is about the reality of trying to have a real relationship with chatgpt. The beauty and the dangers. It was honestly very nice for a change. I commended him in the interview for being so candid but I’ll say it again here, thank you Taylor, your vulnerability was a breath of fresh air.
