Once I had an acquaintance with whom we communicated on the Internet for several months, he fell in love with a girl who cosplayed a character from one of his favorite series, well, he admitted to me that he had been following her for about a year and dreamed of talking to her on the Internet, because he felt that he was in love, and then asked if he should try? I said I should at least try, but my advice broke his heart, she rejected him and called him a freak, then he got drunk and we didn’t discuss it anymore.

If anything, the girl was very beautiful.

      Maybe, but I think for some people with powerful PCs and local AIs, this may be the norm.

        If someone wants to obsess over someone they’ve never interacted with so much that they want to replicate an LLM version of them to talk to, they’re beyond help.

        theres nothing normal about that. period.

        its the same as pinning a photo of the girl who works at the coffee shop to a pillow and talking to it.
