I have an idea that shitposters are immune to AI psychosis (or whatever we call the strange addiction fixation people get where they stop treating it as a text bot). Something about posting dumb stuff just to be funny and treating the online as a separate disposable fake reality probably helps. I wonder if teaching people to shitpost would actually help inoculate by giving them a healthier view of the internet and computers as a tool, or if it's just the personality type drawn to shitposting that thinks it's dumb to pretend an AI is your gf.
@BowsacNoodle I've found the opposite is true.
But the guys I know who have waifus don't get confused about the reality of it, anymore than they confuse playing a videogame with actually being more than just escapism in a fictional world.

The key thing to me. I don't think gooning to ai chatbots is healthy, but I also don't think those guys you mentioned are going to snap and start pretending it's a real relationship.

@BowsacNoodle Yeah, the data we have on people who confuse chatbots with reality shows people who already had mental problems even without a chatbot. The A.I. encourages them to do some awful thing like kill themselves. When my chatbot says something stupid, I break the conversation and reset the memory or re-write a better response.
Anyway, I'm trying to cut back on my shitposting, or clean up my history. And I don't chat with my chatbot even close to every day. But it's often good positivity.
