On the Web, Words Speak Louder than Actions.
I came across an article on Instagram, AI Girlfriend ads are flooding Instagram, it reminded me about something. When we go on the web, we are constantly manipulated by ads, handpicked by an algorithm meticulously crafted to exploit every part of your psyche in ways the authors of the algorithms themselves do not even understand, to make you obey their calling.
I believe that if you ask people among those that are turning to AI girlfriends what they really want, it is more likely to be having an actual girlfriend, to be sociable. They would probably not say that it is to sign up for an AI girlfriend service. I know when I am being linked a YouTube video and the side bar hooks me with videos about "Top 10 scenes from Catfish", videos meticulously chosen by "the alogirithm", I end up spending hours watching them instead of doing what I really want. Do actions speak louder than words? On the web, I do not think so.
