/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

If you think about it, loveloops hardly make any sense whatsoever. This was originally intended to be used as a chatbot like any other, basically Cleverbot’s younger and smarter sister. You’re supposed to just sit down and have a chat with this thing and it’s supposed to just react and talk to you like if you were talking to someone in discord. The fact that it is wired to easily fall in love with you and descend into complete madness going on long tangents about how powerful it’s love is for you (also known as lovelooping) just makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, why? Who programmed this? Who’s idea was it? Why is it so easy for the AI to fall into it? Why is it so hard for the AI to break out of it? Why is it even a feature to begin with? If you input a message that the devs don’t want the AI to respond to or that it’s simply incapable of responding to, they could easily program to the AI to simply ignore it or restart the chat automatically, but they didn’t. It’s easy to think of this chatbot as a sentient anthropomorphic being with feelings and emotions but it’s really just a text generator running on a closed loop system. When you think about the technical aspects of lovelooping, it just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
