[blagos]

Esto no será una broma de esas que se hacen en el mes de Abril...

[airfranz2212]

while the idea sounds good on paper, i do not like the idea that i could trying to actually talk to someone and get fake responses. i hope that when someone uses the shychat that it lets the other person know that they are not really talking to a person. otherwise that is just flat out lying and not cool......


wait....this is april 1st......crap i think i just got duped LMAO

Used ChatGPT a bit, so was looking forward to ShyChat

"Hi, how do I win the game from this point"

[Waltex]

Thank you BGA

I was wondering if ShyChat AI is:
- male
- female
- genderless or
- non-binary?

Your image of ShyChat below seems to indicate it is perhaps male, as the AI has moustaches?

Or maybe it is merely taking testosterone supplements, which explains the facial hair? Or maybe it's wearing a fake moustache? Or maybe it's a deepfake image.



P.S. Why did you make the AI myopic? So, am I right: it has advanced technological social skills, but it's vision is poor - and therefore requires spectacles? Why couldn't you include average vision in it's technological specifications, rather than requiring it to wear spectacles? Maybe you think it looks cooler to wear specs? Maybe those who wear specs are less shy?

Also I noticed that your first version of this image includes the OpenAI logo.

Why did you take this logo off the first version of this image?
Your heading says it's sourced from OpenAI, so it should be OK to put the logo there, right?

So I'm guessing this is an April Fool's joke? In any case, it would be awesome if you could work on chat translation to your language preference, and OpenAI could be a good resource for that.

and also bring back the translation button in the forum

[Gorgosz]

Why not just have an option to mute the chat?

Otherwise I really hope its just a joke.

Why bother logging on (and PAYING a Premium price) if chat bots are going to take care of all our interactions? Do bots pay? By implementing bots to take over the human interaction elements, you remove a great deal of the social attractiveness of this platform. I prefer to interact with actual humans, thanks. I'll deal with the BS myself.

So are you gonna tell the poor schmuck on the other side he's talking to a bot?
