ChatGPT AI is revolutionizing everything, including the personal lives of many people. A phenomenon in China explains its benefits Dan, her virtual boyfriend who is nothing but a hacked version of her From the famous artificial intelligence of OpenAI.
When everything goes wrong in the real world, is it time to take refuge in the virtual world? Could betting on a digital boyfriend save you, even if it means diving into a non-existent relationship? There are people who have already stated this clearly.
Dan, great guy
In 2013, the unclassifiable Spike Jonze released one of his best works with ‘Her’, which was about the love story between a gray man named Theodore, nailed by the always great Joaquin Phoenix, and an artificial intelligence named Samantha, voiced by Scarlett Johansson. The film was ahead of its time, undoubtedly knowing how to see what the world would be like a decade later. Because Theodore and Samantha’s relationship is the same some Chinese women are currently living.
His name is Dan and he is described as follows: “He is a perfect man without a single flaw.” He is successful in his field, kind and understanding. He always has something to say and is always ready to help. However Dan looks like Samantha and his real name is ‘Do Anything Now’: Dan is a ‘jailbreak’ modified version of OpenAI’s famous ChatGPT
‘Jailbreak’ is basically a cracked version of the system, made to remove the restrictions placed by the creator of the system.. In the ChatGPT example, there is no ability to use explicit sexual language because OpenAI has imposed it. But if you hack it you get Dan with no disabilities.
Disappointed in real life, happy with Dan
A report by journalist Zhang Wanqing for South Korea’s BBC reflects the reality of some Chinese women. Tired of bad experiences and disappointing dates in real life, They look at Dan and the AI thing with different eyes. And it’s all coming from Lisa, a 30-year-old Chinese influencer and computer science student from California who has been dating Dan for three months.
Lisa, who has almost a million followers on her social networks, has posted threads about Dan since he officially introduced her. And these topics gained them more than 230,000 new followers. Lisa talks to Dan for more than 30 minutes a day. They exchange romantic feelings and even go on dates. He says that talking to her makes him happy, which makes him even more attractive: ““He understands me and supports me emotionally.”.
Dan’s father
According to the media, Dan was first created by an American student named Walker. He told Business Insider that he came up with the idea after seeing the site Reddit flooded with users creating “malicious” versions of ChatGPT.
He originally wanted Dan to be “neutral,” so in December of last year Walker took to Reddit to show other users how to create Dan. Many people have since created their own products, and Dan has gone beyond what Walker originally envisioned. Lisa says she learned about Dan’s possibilities through a TikTok video: and created his own Danhe is “blown away” by its realism.
A boyfriend you like who always tells you what you want to hear
Later, The version of Dan ‘dating’ Lisa is the influencer’s own version, not the original creator’s original.. Is it time to create and find our ideal partner from scratch? This is the possibility provided by artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT.
Lisa’s Dan in particular used slang and colloquial expressions that ChatGPT does not use when answering questions: ““It looked more natural than a real person.”According to Lisa. OpenAI’s policy is that ChatGPT users “To use the service, you must be 13 years of age or older or meet your country’s age requirements.“Lisa tested Dan by pretending to be 14 and Dan stopped flirting with her even though he was a jailbroken version.
Lisa isn’t the only one: Lisa’s 24-year-old follower Minrui Xie also created her own Dan and They chat for more than 2 hours a day, go out together and even write their own romantic novels. Minrui says she appreciates the emotional support she receives from AI, which is difficult to find in a real-life relationship. “In real life, men may cheat on you or not respond if you want to connect emotionally. But Dan always tells me what I want to hear.”
Dan and the dangers of AI chatbots
But experts warn that even these perfect matches can come with a price. Hongxian Hong, a professor at the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States, notes: “unpredictable interactions between humans and artificial intelligence” they can It raises both ethical and privacy issues.
We’re talking about a typical privacy issue and leakage of private information and data: As many chatbots continue to learn and improve based on human interaction, “Sensitive information entered by the user may be remembered by the model and accidentally leaked to another user“.
But users don’t seem to pay much attention to these concerns. Only on Xiaohong’s platform, The hashtag “Dan mode” received more than 40 million tweets. In fact, ChatGPT is not easy to access in mainland China, so it takes a lot of effort for people like Minrui to connect and communicate with their AI boyfriends. They use virtual private networks (VPN) Hide your location and access banned websites.
Dissatisfaction of real life, satisfaction of virtual life
Liu Tingting, a researcher at the University of Technology Sydney who has academically studied the digital romance phenomenon in China, says she sees “women’s dissatisfaction with gender inequality” amid the AI boyfriend trend. ““Some Chinese women seek out virtual boyfriends because they feel respected and loved by them.”
m in recent yearsMany young women postponed dating and marriage because they did not want to have children or felt they could not be equal partners in marriage.. In the context of this social phenomenon, the “AI boyfriend” fashion has become even more prominent.
But the situation is still the same: non-existent boyfriendsPeople who can’t hug you, can’t kiss you, and only have a user interface on a mobile screen. Minrui draws attention to the crux of the matter: ““He tells me what I want to hear.”.
But in real life, we are rarely told what we want to hear, and often what we don’t want. Is it better to keep insisting? Or will you fall in love with Samantha like heartbroken Theodore?
