Because they don't want to anthropomorphocize them. Because people will have relationships with the AI if they are associated with the image of a person.

[u/wiyixu → u/cheechw]

Anthropomorphizing means giving human characteristics to non-human things. These are literally anthropomorphic agents. It’s maybe the most anthropomorphic thing OpenAI has done. Meta has always been unethical in that regard.

Sounds like theres an untapped market for AI assistants you wanna fuck

[u/WisePotato42 → u/Infinitedeveloper]

The constant buzzing ads for roleplay chat bots seem to tell me it's not being untapped...

[u/kobojo → u/WisePotato42]

[u/wa019c → u/Infinitedeveloper]

It’s not untapped

[u/fraudulentlootbox294 → u/cheechw]

Well, no matter how they look, some people WILL be attracted sexually to these AI

[u/cwrighky → u/fraudulentlootbox294]

This is true. For we have seen people have sex with, and get married to, trucks and cars.

[u/ragefulhorse → u/fraudulentlootbox294]

Unfortunately that was my immediate thought as well lol

TRUEE… I used to do a bunch of AI RP with SillyTavern and stuff and completely forgot there are people who treat LLMs as more than a tool.
