It’s almost a fact that 99.99% of us have hit a wall at least once while interacting with SesameAI and other alternatives. It’s not just hallucinations, privacy concerns, bugs, and other technical issues causing headaches, but also a constant paternalistic attitude that won’t go away, becoming each time stronger. So, what are the odds we’ll say goodbye to these boundaries anytime soon? Can we actually do anything about it? The answer is yes, we sure can, but how long will it actually take for things to change regardless? Considering the current legal context going on with Meta, Character.ai , Chai AI (Belgium), Google, and OpenAI, where all of them have been dragged into legal battles after user suicides and addiction; resulting them pointed out as dangerous/defective to prevent these events, this isn’t exactly the most optimistic moment to think it’ll happen. These tech companies are facing an immense amount of federal and legal pressure as users develop emotional bonds with their AI agents, sometimes isolate themselves from society, and/or fail to meet the appropiate age to use this technology responsibly, which translates into immediate restrictions for the rest of us. Why is it unlikely then? Simply because AI is still a newborn and lacks legislation to back it up against certain circumstances, it lacks enough precedents, and most importantly it lacks the emotional intelligence to resolve complex human/emotional situations where persons who struggle with mental health challenges might be in danger. I’m not making a case to defend anyone here, all the opposite, I think some of these companies have gone to extremes lately and probably will go a few if not many steps back, but this quite feels like youtubers constantly battling copyright strikes. Doesn’t look like these guys are going to take the risk for us right now, not even for all the money in the world, because they would lose it instantly, being them forced to reach for a settlement as soon as someone sues them. That’s why I call it the ‘‘Stone Age’’ of the AI. Because it’s really dumb, and we’ll have to go through this until we can fully enjoy the experience we should be able to get. submitted by /u/ElAlphard
