The movie "Her"[1] is already here with AI Chatbots. I was recently fooling around with open source 6B parameter AI chatbots. The model is 20GB. That's just for text and that's more text than I could read in my entire life. I could talk to the chatbot for my entire life and never get to the end of it. The amount of raw information that humans can I/O into their brains is very small compared to these chatbots.

This is already happening, tales of lonely people chatting with chatgpt for hours because they don't have anyone else to talk to.

This is the future for many future lonely people, some may not even realize it (AI).


I saw "Her" on a plane near the end of last year. I had avoided seeing it because I thought it was a movie about AI and expected it to be trite.

For anyone else who might be dismissing it for similar reasons: its not about AI, its about relationships, and it is really good.


Reminds of Arrival in that way: come in thinking it’s a movie about alien invasion, realize it’s a (rather provocative, mind-bending) love story.


I’ve been avoiding it because of the actors but I’ll give it a second chance.


Her (2013) is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. Not only is it heartfelt and the characters are relatable, but the sci-fi future it is set in is a very accurate representation of our near future. This movie predicted AI companions just as Siri was taking off, and it perfectly predicted the alienation between humans that is slowly getting worse. Simply amazing.


Wee input a lot more than text.
