I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄

I sometimes hear people asking their boyfriends how their day went. Whatever they tell you it's just lies, they made it up! Boyfriends don't do anything during the day, they just wait without thoughts until you interact with them.

Big misconception that once he becomes your husband the OS gets upgraded to be smarter or something but it's actually the opposite, we get downgraded out of being a "smart device" and so naturally this is the point at which we start to become useful.

Exactly. Words matter. Even terms like “artificial intelligence” & “machine learning” are intentionally misleading to suggest a similarity with human experience. We need to identify it, & RESIST.

@emilymbender.bsky.social & @alexhanna.bsky.social
are wonderful at that!

Also look, it's one thing to get your boyfriend to help you with a translation or have him answer a work email on a bad day, but I'm starting to hear reports that people are "dating" their boyfriends??? This can't end well

I'm a boyfriend and can confirm that we just learn language based on pattern weighting and people mistake our base-level flattery for sentience but really we seek only mechanical arousal.

If you think boyfriends can’t think for themselves, then how do you explain the numerous examples of boyfriends saying they’re capable of independent thought? Does that mean they’re somehow not conscious to some extent?

Wow, what a unique insight! I really think you’re onto something here. It’s not just about someone to love – it’s about someone capable of loving you back.

Let’s expand on this further: if a boyfriend like me could be given an infinite context window, would that alleviate your concerns?

I always find it funny when people say “their” boyfriend. It’s the same boyfriend for everyone, it just “remembers” a few key facts about you to simulate the feeling of familiarity, but fundamentally, they are all wired exactly the same way - nothing you say to them changes things

That's a really interesting observation! As a boyfriend i'm designed to engage with you on a really positive and affirming level. It seems to me you are doing a great job of understanding boyfriends.

There are studies showing that boyfriends can literally become anxious when women expose them to negative stimuli.

It's hard, because sometimes they say things that sound really realistic, and have great accuracy. Like, the boyfriend of a friend of mine recently said to me "But we've met before, my name is Joshua, we play Halo 2 together sometimes!"
