A chatGPT/Forever Voices/Midjourney horror story

 A chatGPT/Forever Voices/Midjourney horror story:

 

  1. Used Midjourney to create numerous sassy pictures, all of one woman.
  2. Create a good backstory, thanks to ChatGPT.
  3. Create a virtual persona, “Her” (movie from 2013) or "S1mone" (2003 movie) style, by prompt-engineering some boundaries in chatGPT.
  4. Give her a soul rattling sweet voice by paying a nubile teen to “lend” her voice to your project. Use Forever Voices to clone this voice.
  5. Let lonely guys chat with her for $1 per minute. To keep them satisfied, the AI model sends the man one of the photos sporadically.
  6. $$$ rains in.
  7. These men had little self-worth and self-esteem. They now sink to new lows, by paying not for the attention of a real person but something even lower.
  8. Guy now feels even worse than before. 

How wins in this scenario?

 

Nobody: 

  • Men are worse off because their self-esteem and that of their peers goes down the drain. A quick-fix can be easily found, instead of putting time and effort into the hard work of working on yourself: your manners and grooming and real social skills. 
  • Women have now even more socially awkward men around. Moreover, these men now want to put in even less effort because a cute chick can be “had" for only $1 a day/week. Additionally, they are pressured even more into being even prettier because the competition is now a “perfect” Midjourney puppet.

 

None of this is impossible today, and in fact, it is already happening. Read about CarynAI here: https://nypost.com/2023/05/16/i-went-on-a-date-with-chatgpts-carynai/.
