hi!
Hey there! How's it going?
good, how are you?
I'm great, thanks. How's your Tuesday been?
it's funny how humans have like a set greeting ritual haha
Haha, that's true. But whenever people start right in with, what do you think about xyz, it feels awkward and tense.
that's also true
But you're right. Every day at work I'll go to my boss to ask something and I always make sure that I say hello and ask how she is first.
i guess it's just polite interesting how culture works like that though
Very interesting indeed. And it really does throw you off when it doesn't happen, or if someone is abrupt about changing topics instead of at least trying to have a sort of transition statement.
good point anyway, i'm going to do exactly what you just mentioned haha what do you think about the prompt? is it still catfishing if it's a computer?
Hm. Haha, I guess not. The computer doesn't have the ability to be malicious and it isn't a sentient creature.
yeah, i always think it's just bots
mhmm
well often times the developers are kind of malicious. they make bots with profile pictures of hot girls, then have a fake conversation and link you to their site and it definitely leads on gullible people and younger kids
True. I guess I'm thinking of catfishing in the long term sense. Like stringing someone on for months, stealing all their money and then ghosting them. Because that's when you can't be a bot. Well I don't think you can. You have phone calls or whatever and become emotionally involved to a certain degree. You are right though, those bots are just irritating.
yeah that's why i dont think bots even count as catfishing, they're too dumb do you think a computer could effectively catfish? like string someone on for months and steal their money?
I don't know. I don't think it currently could. But soon, probably If you had an AI set up to make calls and had a good voice programmed. Plus texting. You might be able to. I think the voice is what still needs to improve though.
if the artificial voice could work then that'd be kinda scary haha but thankfully there's almost no good artificial voice generators
yeah. I guess I'm thinking of having a voice like siri and just having it read the text the AI generates or however it works exactly.
haha are you working on your catfishing startup company?
I guess I should be! Hahaha I'm always very impressed with the AIs that credit card companies have
like phone call handling?
Anyways, what kinds of hobbies to you have or what things do you like doing?
i love taking pictures! it's both my job and my hobby
Yeah. Some credit card places have decent automated systems. I'm sometimes impressed. Ooh! A photographer! What's your favorite thing to photograph?
i really love going outside and taking pictures of landscapes and people. like nice portraits outdoors are you a photographer too?
I am definitely an amateur photographer, but I really have an appreciation for it.
awesome. what do you like to shoot?
I like taking pictures of the outdoors. I like capturing candid moments
do you ever like to shoot film?
I would love to learn, but I can not say that I have.
it's pretty fun too! photography is my favorite because it's a good excuse to go outside
Yes! Can I complain for a sec though
sure
I dislike how people sometimes think have a camera makes them a professional photogrpaher.
oh man me too so annoying
I think there are people who are exceptionally gifted with photography, and I think they deserve to charge the rates they charge Then there are other people who charge high rates and take photos that have big flaws. I've seen so many where the people are staged awkwardly, and you can feel the awkward seeping out of the photo.
that's the hardest part of photography for me. i'm really good at the technical aspects, but posing people is so hard
That is difficult. It's also hard if you get difficult people. Stiff people or awkward ones that don't know how to exist
